UC Riverside Riverside reviews

Communication between faculty and staff is generally bad. There can also be a lot of toxicity among faculty members, partly because most academics have imposter syndrome and a big chunk of the professors at UCR seem to derive their fragile sense of self-worth from where they stand on the academic ladder. The class observation process is often used to treat lecturers like punching bags regardless of their teaching performance. In my experience, about 20% of the faculty and staff are pleasant, reliable and easy to work with.
