Valuable Drug Discovery at UC

If you found a way to save your employer $800,000 per year in purchasing costs, you might expect your employer to at least say thanks. Not, it turns out, if you work for UCLA.

John A. Glaspy is a world-class expert in the treatment of cancer and a rank novice in the bulk purchase of pharmaceuticals. Or rather, he was a novice until recently.

Then he discovered how to save UCLA several hundred thousand dollars a year on chemotherapy drugs.

Instead of winning praise for his resourcefulness, he got pummeled by infuriated University of California bureaucrats.
