With the recent 2013 elections now in the rear view mirror. Colorado voters have clearly spoken and clearly refused to raise their taxes for public education. The nearly one billion dollar proposition 66 attempting to fund K-12 failed miserably with the finally tally 66% stating No and only 34% agreeing to this proposition. This has set a precedent and sent a clear undeniable message to the dense, idealistic unqualified current CU leadership. There will be no public tax to support higher education in Colorado. This will leave Colorado at the bottom of the national pack in regards to funding higher education. The message is clear there is no need to commission a study, hear emotional rhetoric from CU president Bruce Benson, continued threats of down grading of CU bonds, or the continued failure of the CU Anschutz Medical Campus as viable recruiting entity. The public at large is fully aware of the high clinical cost of mediocre medical care provided at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. There is no viable public tax strategy available to a high cost health provider. When the public at large is coerced into purchasing Obama care low cost, lean and mean is the future of academic medicine. This is another salient documented reason the CU Anschutz Medical Campus is a failure. In the future insurance providers will price shop for medical services and low cost providers will prevail. As coerced health care policyholders can only afford/prefer low premiums. The current incompetent senior faculty ( Lilly Marks, Don Elliman) have failed to realize this reality. A salient market analogy would be where does the majority of America shop? Walmart or Whole Foods?
Therefore with the voice of the Colorado voters clear. It has now become paramount for Colorado college’s to internally fund their own operations. This can be accomplished through philanthropy, gifts, donors, and scholarships. However as the Anschutz Medical Campus blog has previously outlined in detail, The current CU leadership has failed in every one of these arenas. Alienating donors, no viable CU Anschutz scholarships, and no major financial gifts to the medical campus. This is the current state of affairs every future and potential student faces when they review which college to attend for their higher education. These facts directly effect the future enrollment of all potential future CU Anschutz Medical Campus students and more importantly the financial coffers of Colorado University. The previous actions of the current CU leadership which has been publicly documented on this blog, outline their subpar track record.
The Anschutz Medical Campus blog provides all future perspective CU Anschutz Medical Campus students with a real world class education in progress, absent the false biased emotional rhetoric currently publicly stated by the financially motivated CU Colorado university incompetent leadership.
Now for all perspective future CU Anschutz Medical Campus students, lets review a few successful billion dollar corporations in the world wide marketplace. Lets review their track record and how they operate in the public arena.
In 1964 a young college student realized there was not a high quality track shoe available in America. This young MBA Stanford student realized a high quality running shoe could be imported from Japan distributed in America and sold at a low cost. Soon afterwards this future entrepreneur was distributing and selling athletic shoes out of the trunk of his car.
Soon this student realized he needed a logo or definable tagline. Having no money this MBA student approached an advertising student to develop a logo for his emerging enterprise. The advertising student returned with a snoosh and was paid a total of 35.00 dollars for this logo. The rest is history, NIKE was born went on to develop the tagline “just do it”, recruited world famous athletes and expanded to a global enterprise currently selling over 20 billion dollars annually of apparel and athlete shoes world wide!
In 1941 a young polish girl was born, through her teens she baby sat for a dollar an hour. Soon she was modeling at 15.00 dollars a hour. As this young polish girl grew up she learned how to cook, sew and can fresh goods from her mother. It wasn’t long before this polish immigrant realized she had a flair for homemaking and stared a catering business in her basement. The enterprise grew rapidly with her innate flair for homemaking and catering. It was not long before the enterprise expanded to include books, articles, merchandizing and a television show. Along the way she developed the tagline “Its a good thing” This young driven polish entrepreneur eventually consolidated all of her innate talents under a single brand name Martha Stewart omnimedia and went public. With her personal net worth exceeding one billion dollars and becoming one of the richest women in America.
However due to greed, mismanagement, or poor decision making in March 2004 Martha Stewart was convicted of four felony counts of conspiracy and insider trading. Martha spent five moths in prison and paid a $30,000 fine. After this misstep Martha Stewart omnimedia has been on a down ward trajectory ever since. losing billions of dollars in capitalization. Once what was a flourishing billion dollar media company is currently down to a net worth of under 150 million dollars and is falling apart at the seams. All this occurred after a public felony conviction! A slow continuous down ward spiral…..
With a charismatic gift for public speaking it wasn’t long before Bill Clinton was elected the 42nd president of the United States in January 1993. Mr. Clinton served two consecutive terms, implemented don’t ask don’t tell. Signed the North American free trade agreement. Launched the website whitehouse.gov. Was the first president since Richard M. Nixon to balance the rapidly expanding federal budget. The longest expanding peace time economy occurred under the tenure of Bill Clinton.
However after all the deeds Bill Clinton accomplished in his lifetime He is remembered for one catchphrase. “I did not have sex with that woman” Congress attempted to impeach Clinton due to perjury charges. However this attempt eventually failed.
In 1996 Eric Harris created an online blog about creating mischief. Eventually Harris was joined by Dylan Klebold. The website eventually went on and stated how to build explosive bombs, contained violent threats against students and teachers. And rhetoric about the two individuals hating society in general. Eventually the website was brought to the attention of the Colorado Jefferson county’s sheriff’s office. The website was soon brought to the individual attention of investigator Michael Guerra. Guerra investigated the website saw the threats, saw a list of the guns owned and a hit list of individuals. Investigator Guerra prepared an affidavit requesting a search warrant however he never filed it. Senior ranking Jefferson county officials met and decide to not disclose the affidavit to the public.
When Harris meet with his CU Anschutz psychiatrist he complained of depression and anger. The psychiatrist prescribed Zoloft and luvox. Later analysts and psychiatrist Peter Breggins argued that these two drugs could have easily caused Harris’s actions, side effects of these drugs lead to increased aggression, loss of remorse and mania.
(Court documents reveal James Holmes was prescribed and taking a generic version of the drug Zoloft.)
On April 20, 1999 Klebold and Harris went on a shooting rampage at the Columbine High school in Jefferson county Colorado killing 12 students one teacher and injuring 24 others. Eventually millions Of dollars was paid out in financial settlements from the actions of these two individuals. More than a decade later the public at large identifies Columbine high school with Harris and Kleibold shootings and the catchphrase school massacre! This action has spurred many copycat shootings at many other schools nation wide. Almost every one of them refer to a columbine type shooting.
Denver Hospital has developed and implemented the tagline “level one care for all” using this in all of their advertising and paid promotions. Kaiser Permanente’s tagline is the word “thrive”.
A tagline is the most noticeable element of a business entity, It is the words most associated or often repeated after a commercial organizations name , individual or product. A tagline is relevant advertising. Custom developed, and designed by the supporting organization usually to define their stated mission. Nike’s tagline: just do it. Martha Stewart tagline: its a good thing. Denver hospital: level one care for all. Other famous taglines the public might recall are: I’m Lovin’ it McDonalds. Finger lickin’ good, is Kentucky Fried chicken tagline comes to mind.
Now lets turn aspiring future CU Anschutz Medical Campus students attention and their high tuition debt load to the burgeoning five (5) billion dollar CU Anschutz Medical Campus and their current leadership. Exactly what words come to your mind?
AMC maybe comes to your mind? Well that’s already taken by AMC American movie classic television network and is a registered trademark on the federal USPTO. So no that’s a no go.
Try again, how about the mayo clinic of the west? A phrase that has been used by the media to gain some type of recognition for a failing five billion dollar campus attempting to find a public identity after more than a decade of existence!
Well the Mayo clinic is the first and the largest medical practice group in the world! With over 3,800 physicians, 50,000 staff one of the best hospitals in the United States consistently in News and World report for over two decades! With patient care, research and education all three disciplines! A triad of expertise and consistent rankings. The number three (3) hospital in the entire United States!
The CU Anschutz Medical Campus is not the first or the largest medical group so it falls short of the mark and looses mind share to the public at large. CU Anschutz Campus falls short on patient care as previously documented on this blog. CU Anschutz has also failed in the implementation of the Aurora light rail, has a sex assault of a vulnerable patient, and abused the opiate morphine.
So future malleable CU Anschutz Medical Campus students can ask themselves: Why has the current dysfunctional CU Colorado university leadership failed to design, develop, implement and use a tagline with a five billion dollar so called medical campus? Another publicly documented failure by the current CU leadership. A serious void in development, advertising, marketing and execution. A down right failure!
So exactly what are the words that come to your mind when you hear the words CU Anschutz Medical Campus? That’s right its the words James Holmes… Why is this? because when there is a failure of leadership, a void, a blank hole emerges, a vacuum exists and the public fills the void with a suitable catch phrase! The words quickly spread through the mass media, newspaper articles, television circuit, legal procedures, and word of mouth! And this becomes the trademark or signature of the organization in this case its the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. A first year Stanford MBA student understood this and so did an immigrant polish girl. A sad state of affairs for a failing five billion dollar institution that now has to depend on private funding to sustain itself. However the current leadership brought this whole situation upon itself. The Colorado taxpayer unwittingly finances this problematic medical campus. So do national taxpayers as CU Anschutz is non profit 501(c) corporation.
With James Holmes previously under the psychiatric care of Dr. Lynne Fenton who specializes in threat assessment who is currently employed by CU Anschutz Medical Campus. Dr. Fenton has been previously reprimanded by the Colorado medical examiner in 2004. She prescribed herself Xanax and prescribed her husband Ambien. More significantly Dr. Fenton prescribed Vicodin to an unregistered patient. James Holmes informed arresting Aurora Colorado police officers he consumed 100mg of Vicodin 2.5 hours before the violent attack. Vicodin side effects can include hallucinations. Vicodin is the exact same drug found in actor Keith Ledger when he died in 2008. Ledger also played the same role as the batman “joker.”
Dr. Fenton’s publicly removed biography reveals, various grants to study schizophrenia, a fellowship in brain imaging at CU 2008-2010. Supervision of 15-20 graduate students per week. Providing on going medication and psychotherapy for 15-20 students per week. Dr. Fenton also received her under graduate degree at University of California Davis in 1982 where animal studies were conducted on mind control on small animals. While in prison Holmes told inmate Steve Unrah he was programmed to kill by an evil therapist. Holmes also stated during the Aurora Colorado massacre he was “off his Meds” and it felt like a video game and remembers nothing of the Theatre shooting killing 12 individuals and wounding 58 victims.
In addition, Holmes met with a total of three Colorado University mental health experts. A non medical trained gun range owner after only 2 voice messages properly diagnosed Holmes as a problem and banned Holmes from the Colorado gun range. Here we have a floundering CU Anschutz Medical Campus with continuous constructive evaluation on a weekly basis, individually evaluated medical track record, and supporting mental health evaluations all three medical personal failing to properly diagnose James Holmes. This clearly calls into question why should CU Anschutz Medical Campus continue to receive (NIH), National Institute of Health grants? Questionable research and academic quality of medical trained personal employed on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. Holmes was one of only six students nationally to receive the prestigious NIH neuroscience grant money. These are all facts future CU students should evaluate when deciding which college campus to attend. This also lays the undeniable foundation why CU Anschutz Medical Campus is “guilty by association” and the public at large associates the tagline of James Holmes with the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. These facts can never be reversed and are directly accountable and traced to the failed “BETA” team and the current unqualified CU leadership.
It is also noteworthy after the Holmes shooting CU Anschutz faculty electronically monitored the words James Holmes and CU Anschutz Medical Campus. This clearly shows concern. However lack of a sustained strategy implemented after the Aurora Theatre shooting and brand reputation protection of the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. A SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS EVERY STUDENT CAN LEARN FROM!
Even more disturbing is the way CU Anschutz Medical Campus treated one of their grant students. Specifically James Holmes. Upon failing a crucial oral exam and quickly with drawing from his grant and college courses The CU supervision and oversight faculty failed to follow up on one of their grant students. The CU faculty felt since James Holmes was no longer a CU student he was in the processing of withdrawing there was no need for any CU oversight or intervention of James Holmes. This also includes the fact there was a complete mental record on The CU Anschutz Medical Campus. A complete mishandling of a high profile prestigious NIH grant student! Every future CU Anschutz Medical Campus student should carefully consider these inappropriate senior faculty actions.
When James Holmes was arrested by the Colorado Aurora police he was driving a white car with Tennessee license plates, sporting bright dyed orange hair, wearing full bullet proof armor from head to toe, was described as fidgety by the police officer, was dripping in human sweat, seemed detached from the shooting spree, showing no emotion and had large dilated eye pupils.
However the second tier city of Aurora Colorado just like the Boulder police department in the Jon Benet murder was overwhelmed. Not one Aurora Colorado police officer, commander, detective, or chief of police Dan Oates no one thought to include a blood, urine or saliva test.
Even though the perpetrator himself told Aurora police officers he was under the influence of 100mg of Vicodin no drug tests were performed! More significantly when Holmes was under arrest and incarnation no hair follicle test was performed. This test could indicate which drugs were consumed in the last 72 hours and up to the previous 90 days. A complete failure by the overwhelmed Aurora police department. This is not the first failure of the Aurora police department in the James Holmes scenario. When Dr. Lynne Fenton notified Aurora police officer Lynn Whitten that Holmes was a threat The Aurora police failed to follow up on the verbal and text threats previously stated by Holmes. A complete break down of public safety policy questioning the competency of the Aurora Colorado police department!
There is an additional possibility that warrants consideration, once the Aurora police department learned that Holmes was a student of the cities largest land mark employer CU Anschutz Medical Campus a covert clandestine subversive internal police department decision was determined and enforced not to pursue or originate any conclusive evidence that could be used in future legal proceedings that could verify liability associated with Aurora Colorado’s signature employer who is attempting to find an identity. AS THERE IS NUMEROUS SIMILARITIES AND FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS WITH THE COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING MORE THAN A DECADE EARLIER! Adding supporting documentation to this working hypothesis theory is the career record of Aurora Colorado chief police Dan Oates. Who previously served as a commanding officer of intelligence division. Was a member of the New York executive staff, principal advisor on city wide security and intelligence issues. Prior assignments include chief counsel and legal commanding officer of the legal bureau. Mr. Oates also has a degree from the New York law school. Recently the Aurora Colorado police department destroyed evidence involving 48 sexual assault cases. This subversive decision would be compatible and complement the current strategy of the CU Anschutz Medical Campus to white wash all negative comments/statements effecting this five (5) billion dollar medical campus.
As this case moves towards trial phase, paid for by the pissed off agitated Colorado taxpayers, a plea of insanity by mental defect was entered by the Homes defense team. This triggered a mandatory court ordered mental health evaluation by the Colorado mental health Institute located in Pueblo Colorado. Delayed by six weeks due to the depth and complexity of this 128 page sequestered report which was recently received by the court. There is now over forty thousand (40,000) pages of evidence in the James Holmes trial. And this entire Colorado taxpayer paid trial could hinge on this mental health evaluation report due to the fact of negligence, incompetence, or proposed hypothesized subversive internal cover up: since there is no blood, urine, saliva or hair follicle test conducted at the time of arrest after the shooting rampage.
As the results of this secret mental health evaluation were revealed in court recently the prosecutors requested a second mental health evaluation?….trigging the notion that Holmes was mentally insane at the time of the Aurora Colorado Theatre shooting. This action has indefinitely postponed the Homes trial. This would require striking the death penalty at the time of sentencing leading to the fact the Colorado taxpayer will pay for Holme’s lifetime incarnation. This would only continue to facilitate and remind the public for future decades the undeniable guilty by association of James Holmes and The CU Anschutz Medical Campus. Indelibly imbedding the tagline James Holmes with CU Anschutz Medical Campus! A national stain on the state of Colorado taxpayers backs from a failed problematic substandard medical campus
There will probably be future news articles written, mug shots displayed, personal visits, numerous probation hearings, a future biography outlining the past history of an 18 year old James Holmes working as a research intern at the Salk institute. Which two years prior partnered with DARPA (defense advanced research project agency) to develop a peak solider performance program. Robert Holmes history working for DARPA and developing predictive mathematical models to locate fraud in financial services sector. All to support the publics catch phrase of James Holmes and the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
There is already one lawsuit commenced against Dr. Lynne Fenton filed by Chantel Blunk and the possibility of 11 more lawsuits to come in the future. Add in the fact the CU Anschutz Medical Campus had no internal tracking in place using their CU system who Holmes could have used to purchase bombs and ammunition prior to the shooting. The columbine style notebook mailed to the CU medical campus prior to the Aurora Colorado shooting sighted by two law enforcement officials seriously undermine the credibility of the CU Anschutz medical Campus public statements.
The CU Anschutz Medical Campus currently stands as an edifice to remind every Colorado taxpayers future CU students, potential financial donors what has previously commenced behind these walls…if they could only talk!….what a story to tell future students, and potential financial donors!
UPDATE: On Friday the 13th 2013 there was a shooting at Arapahoe high school. And many news organizations referenced Columbine High School shooting which happened 14 yrs ago. That is the power of a tagline. It sticks for many decades once it is ingrained into the publics conscious.
