University of California is arguably the most prestigious and popular institutions of higher education in the world. It has perpetuated a standard of excellence due to it’s emphasis on research and innovation. The school runs the nation’s nuclear defense programs through Lawrence Laboratories.

It is prima facie that UC’s role in the intellectual and economic prosperity of the California is rare air.

Since 1987 this has changed as the school has decided to adopt a ritualistic pattern of defection to de facto forces. This also has damaged the school and the student’s reputation as being on the front of social change.

Here is a small overview from their site

Motto: Fiat Lux
("Let there be light")

130 academic departments and more than 80 interdisciplinary research units.

Colleges and schools: UC Berkeley is divided into 14 colleges and schools, most of which are subdivided into departments.

Most popular majors (as of Spring 2009): Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 1,394 students; Molecular and Cell Biology, 1,135 students; Political Science, 965 students. (Source)

Courses offered: More than 7,000 courses in some 350 degree programs; the campus produces more Ph.D.s annually than any other U.S. university. (Cal Facts 2008)

In these rankings below History is ranked 2, Political Science 2, and Sociology 3.

THIS IS AT THE HEIGHT OF ACADEMIC FRAUD. THE ENTIRE STATE HAS BEEN ENGULFED IN A CHEMICAL ASSAULT – SCORCHED EARTH SINCE 1987.

HAS ANYONE PRODUCED A PAPER?

Totalitarianism and Innovation

Totalitarianism is a repressive regime of power and control. In effect it is a police state. For the success of the firm power and control are essential in fulfilling  the strategic mission of the enterprise. By disallowing full participation in legal and social life, the critical needs of economy can be marginalized until diseconomy.

Here the CEO is vulnerable as he is in the position to execute the decisions that are vital to success. The police state is able to subject a very highly trained executive under an officer(s) who are hostile to the firm.

Power without order is chaos. The results could be the end of the firm and/or it’s legacy.

Currently the contaminated environment has exposed many performers to non-normative events as to which no innovative response has occurred from the most celebrated CEOs.

In the non-profit sector, the University of California’s prestige is at stake.

WE WILL WITNESS HOW HISTORY TREATS THIS INNOVATIVE RESEARCH INSTITUTION.
