UC Paradox: Raises for Execs Saves Money?

As the UC system is whacking more than $800 million dollars from its budget, it’s giving raises to more than two dozen executives. Critics - from janitors to physicians - are outraged that the action is happening at the same time UC is "pleading poverty, giving layoff notices, forcing staff and faculty to take furloughs and hinting at more student fee increases." UC President Mark Yudof counters saying that the raises are actually saving money. Huh? He's here to explain.

 

Guests:

Mark Yudof, UC President

Dr. Stan Glantz, vice president of the Council of UC Faculty Associations; professor of cardiology at UC San Francisco School of Medicine

Put That Back! …When a Kid Steals

Has your little darling come home with something in his or her pocket that belongs to someone else? Experts say, don't panic - most children get "sticky fingers" at some point, and it doesn't mean they're headed for a life of crime.  Kids and stealing - it's just a phase and not a career path. Or is it?  

 

Guest:

Dr. Perri Klass, pediatrician and professor of journalism and pediatrics at New York University

Mad for Mad Men

Who says there's nothing to watch on TV? Sunday night kicks off season 3 of the critically acclaimed series Mad Men. Like so many shows before it, Mad Men is widely successful with critics yet barely on the radar of the American viewer - only about 2 million people tune in each week. But with 16 Emmy nominations in hand, will this be the season to put the 1960's drama on viewer’s must-see list?

 

Guests:

TBD
