If it is so awash with money, why is it always clamoring for more money from the State? Why is tuition always being cranked up? Why were all these secret compensation packages being hidden from public view? Why were there so many payoffs being hidden from public view? Why all the lawsuits? Why all the resistence to public record requests and public disclosure? Why did Dynes hire a worthless Director (Nanos) to drag the Los Alamos National Lab through the mud? Where exactly is all this greatness some of you are still foolishly trying to claim exists at UC? I don't see it, and live a lot closer to the subject than you do. I live in California. I also read a lot more news accounts on what's going on within the University system than you all could possibly ever know about or read, located states removed. Sorry for the bad news folks, but UC isn't as prestine these days as some might still want you to believe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-87313456390050691512007-08-15T20:48:00.000-06:002007-08-15T20:48:00.000-06:00Mea culpa for teh dimness.I thought that peer revi...Mea culpa for teh dimness.<BR/><BR/>I thought that peer reviewed grants were "your tax dollar[s]."<BR/><BR/>Thank you, 8:26, for correcting me. I now understand that peer reviewed grants are from "industry and private donations."<BR/><BR/>(That was sarcasm. I am not sure how you could read my citation of the UC budget, which showed that private sources of funding are small, to instead mean that federal research grants are a signal that UC is poorly regarded.

If anything this is becoming more so. <BR/><BR/>By the way UC really does not use that much of "your tax dollar". They now get a tremendous amount of money from industry and private donations.

In the mean time UC, once upon a time the premier research university in the world (like LANL) is no more (like LANL as well). It is now a shadow of its former self, as is the Los Alamos National Laboratory. What an enormous waste of taxpayer money! How much of a waste? Try getting the University to release its litigation costs for public scrutiny. Try finding out how much the UC Labs waste each year on litigation. It's your money bozo, but just try to find out and see where that gets you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
