Corruption is how the UC system is run. It starts at the top with the chairman of the Board of Trustees, Richard Blum--husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein--he used hundreds of millions of UC money to invest in his companies. Blum used his wife as a Chair of a Senate Committee to protect him from investigation--she was forced to resign as Chair of that Committee only when caught.
We know about the sweetheart deals where a new University president created a job for her live in partner. No one got fired over that.
"University of California employees who believe they have been fired in retaliation for blowing the whistle on improper activities can, for the first time, sue for damages under a new law signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The governor signed the bill into law Thursday over the objections of UC administrators.
Until now, UC employees could complain about retaliation only to the university's own administrative review panel, but could not go to court as other state employees may do. Employees of California State University and the community college system also have the right to go to court."
Expect a lot of headlines about corruption in the UC system..
