One Insider’s 37-Year Account of the
University of California
Four independent fact-findings — police oversight failures, retiree benefits fraud, institutional accountability, and the court cases that confirmed it all —
documented with primary sources and public records.
Act I
Behave Like Heroes
California has a state agency that can revoke a police officer’s license. The University of California runs ten armed police departments answering to no city, no county, and no elected official. In three decades, not one UC officer has lost their POST certification for misconduct. This ten-chapter investigation — with dossiers on all ten campuses — documents why.

Act II
Schrödinger’s UC Retiree
A UCLA police officer blew the whistle on his department in 1992. They fired the chief. Then they spent thirty-seven years punishing the officer who was right — reclassifying his disability, losing his records during “system upgrades,” and cancelling his health insurance eight weeks before cancer surgery. UC says the records don’t exist. Fifteen chapters of primary-source evidence say otherwise.

Act III
Bruin Watch: The UC Audit Request
One retiree asked UC Retirement 41 questions about his own file. The answers exposed 282 documented violations of state and federal law. UCLA’s own CFO called the $213 million computer upgrade “a terrific waste of resources.” They fired him four days later. This is the formal demand to the California State Auditor to open the UC books.

When the Courts Caught Up
In 2023, UC sued its own technology contractors for a failed $28 million benefits system — the same system UC blamed when a retiree’s disability records disappeared. Separately, the U.S. Department of Justice prosecuted UC’s insurance enrollment partner eHealth for $230 million in Medicare fraud. Two independent cases. Neither filed by the retiree. Both confirming what he documented years before the first subpoena was issued. Jury trial: January 2027.
