Whistle Where You Work: The State of American Water: Whistleblowing at a University, ep.21

Description

The safety and security of America’s water supply has been increasingly threatened in recent years: global warming, energy practices and an aging infrastructure are hurting this precious (and limited) resource that is vital to our lifestyle. What are the issues facing the nation?s water, and what can we do about it? We chat with representatives from the conservation organization American Rivers, and the public interest group Food & Water Watch. Then a conversation with Colin Browne, formerly of the University of the District of Columbia. Brown discovered that his department was greatly spinning and trumping up success rates of programs aimed to help at-risk students. Brown was fired for his continued determination to tell the truth about how taxpayer dollars were spent.
