Atkinson was named president of the University of California in August 1995, barely four weeks after the UC Regents voted to end affirmative action. How he dealt with the admissions wars--the political, legal, and academic consequences of that historic and controversial decision, as well as the issue of governance--is discussed in this book. Another focus is the entrepreneurial university--the expansion of the University's research enterprise into new forms of scientific research with industry during Atkinson's presidency. The final crisis of his administration was the prolonged controversy over the University's management of the Los Alamos and Livermore nuclear weapons research laboratories that began with the arrest of Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee on charges of espionage in 1999. Entrepreneurial President explains what was at stake during each of these episodes, how Atkinson addressed the issues, and why the outcomes matter to the University and to the people of California. Pelfrey's book provides an analysis of the challenges, perils, and limits of presidential leadership in the nation's leading public university, while bringing a historical perspective to bear on the current serious threats to its future as a university"--Provided by publisher.Nuclear energyResearchLaboratoriesManagementaffirmative action history.book club books.discussion books.easy to read.educating while reading.engaging.entrepreneurs during quarantine.gifts for friends.history in the 90s.history of public universities.how to be a good leader.how to be an entrepreneur.keeping your small business alive.keys to entrepreneurship.leading during uncertain times.learning from experts.leisure reads.page turner.starting your own business.struggles of being a leader.university of california.vacation reads.Nuclear energyResearchLaboratoriesManagement.378.0092BEDU000000bisacshPelfrey Patricia A1479215MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790015403321Entrepreneurial president3839191UNINA
