“Whistleblower” by Amy Joy is a
narrative about the author’s experience of reporting criminal activity within
UC Davis. The stigma with reporting something like this is scary and
destructive. Being a “whistleblower” usually leaves the individual alone and
filled with stress and harassment; however, Amy Joy stood up and voiced her
evidence. While reading, I found it quite eye opening how the school isn’t just
a school but also a business. Our enrollment only means a source of money flow
into their accounts. With that being, said how would we know if these officials
and higher positioned are using our money wisely. I commend the author for
shedding light on an issue that should never have been an issue. Students
should be thriving and immersing themselves in a higher education at UC Davis,
not pay for the chancellors new car or wonder if the hefty price is worth the
value.
Are schools
being ran like businesses the reason for education quality deteriorating in
America?
