"A 4-year HIPAA data breach has been reported by The University of California Irvine Medical Center after the healthcare provider discovered an employee had accessed nearly 5,000 patient records without authorization .... A person “who was not a patient” tipped off the hospital. This suggests that access logs were not being checked at all."
Addendum: and then there's this:
"hackers broke into UCLA Health System's computer network and may have accessed sensitive information on as many as 4.5 million patients, hospital officials said .... The revelation that UCLA hadn't taken the basic step of encrypting this patient data drew swift criticism from security experts and patient advocates."

"... students allege that [professor] Gabriel Piterberg made suggestive comments and unwanted advances — such as pressing himself against their bodies and forcing his tongue into their mouths. University officials, the women said, urged them to keep quiet and not pursue formal investigations."
From: UCLA graduate students' lawsuit alleges sexual harassment
And at Berkeley:
" 31 current and former Berkeley students filed two complaints against the university last year alleging that officials for years have discouraged victims from reporting assaults, failed to inform them of their rights and led a biased judicial process that favored assailants' rights over those of victims."
