What is the role of faculty in managing the weapons labs? Does recent adverse publicity concerning incidents at LANL and LLNL call into question UC’s ability to manage the labs and the public perception of UC as a manager? Talk about some morally-challenged questioning! … … How much will it cost to bid to manage the weapons labs again? …
