Ursula Quinn, the executive vice president of UPTE-CWA 9119 and an occupational therapist at the inpatient adult psychiatric unit at UCLA, criticized UCLA’s choice to highlight its status as the No. 1 public university in the nation.

“I see that little asterisk they have on there (the No. 1 public university banners),” Quinn said. “That asterisk is a reminder – number one, except for how they treat their workers, except for how they try to stop us from speaking out.”
