University of California
35 instances of misconduct since 1995 |
$392.4M in penalties
The University of California public university system includes 10 campuses, 5 medical centers, approximately 214,000 students, and an endowment of over $7 billion. The University of California is one of the world’s premier research universities. It is committed to maintaining a research environment conducive to creating and freely disseminating the very best scholarly contributions and scientific discoveries. The University of California is consistently rated among the top institutions in the world for the quality and breadth of its research enterprise, for the scholarly distinction of its faculty, for the excellence of its Ph.D. programs, and for the amount of funding received for support of its research programs. ***NOTE*** In 10 instances, the University of California’s exemption under the Price-Anderson Amendments Act allowed it to avoid monetary punishment for nuclear safety violations at its Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore national laboratories. Due to a provision of the Act which, until it was reauthorized in 2005, exempted several nonprofit education institutions, the Department of Energy waived over $3.5 million in civil penalties. POGO has included those penalty amounts herein. (In June 2006, Los Alamos National Security LLC, a joint venture consisting of Bechtel National, University of California, BWX Technologies, and Washington Group International, took over as manager of Los Alamos National Laboratory. In October 2007, Lawrence Livermore National Security LLC, a joint venture consisting of Bechtel National, University of California, BWX Technologies, Washington Group International, and Battelle, took over as manager of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.)
