"Clout list" nghĩa là gì?


"Clout list" -> nghĩa là danh sách bí mật người được ưu tiên cho việc bổ nhiệm, do có quan hệ/quen biết người có quyền lực; con ông cháu cha.

Ví dụ
The watchdog (người bảo vệ) appointed (chỉ định) to investigate potential patronage (bảo trợ) by state officials determined the Illinois Capital Development Board made several hiring mistakes — including hiring a person on a “Clout List” with close ties to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

The report found Pritzker filled at least 35 state jobs with individuals (cá nhân) on House Speaker Mike Madigan’s “clout list.” A Madigan aide (phụ tá) sent the list to Pritzker chief of staff Anne Caprara in December 2018. The speaker’s office then updated the list 17 times.

Since 2005, about 800 undergraduate (chưa tốt nghiệp) students have landed on the clout list for the Urbana-Champaign campus. It's unknown how many would qualify for entry on their own, but their acceptance rate is higher than average. For the 2008-09 school year, for example, about 77 percent were accepted, compared with 69 percent of all applicants.
