UCI virtues, yeah right...

With the beginning of the Fall quarter, UCI put nice signs up, like this one:
In light of the misuse of rental money as documented here, this is of course very hypocritical, in particular the "integrity" and "accountability" parts.
University administrators have shown anything but integrity and accountability.

I’m an incoming UCI Grad student and will be moving into PV this September. If you are so unhappy with UCI, why are you obtaining your degree there? I personally am excited about attending UCI and completing my graduate work there. Folks like you devalue your degree over your own pessimistic view of the world. Instead, go out into the real world and make a name for UCI with what you’ve learned.
Well, it seems it is you who needs to go “into the real world.”
My beef is with the administration. The academic side of the university is fine. I wish I could say the same thing about the administration. But people in the administration, in particular in on-campus housing, have repeatedly lied to my face. And I am not willing to sweep that under the rug.
And if you are indeed a new grad student, you should be interested in making UCI a better place. THAT’s what this blog is all about. Like everybody else, I would have preferred the administration to listen to graduate students. We have tried that for years, and there has been some progress, but unfortunately only after prolonged yelling at them.
In fact, I was one of the people who started the Palo Verde Residents Council, to actually represent graduate students living in Palo Verde, and work with the housing administration for the betterment of Palo Verde residents.
So, contrary to your assertion, I actually have a very positive view of the world. I still believe that it is possible to make UCI better. To make things better, the bad stuff need to be known.
