This article has been making the rounds recently, and it speaks to the greatest problem facing institutions of higher ed in this country.
It’s no secret that any educational institution is a bloated mess; the layers of regulatory oversight and legal ass-covering are so manifold and intertwined that they are impenetrable to the average citizen. Which is how these institutions get away with it; the layers upon layers of administration seem professional and competent because their actions are generally filtered through a dense screen of verbiage.
Still, a report like the one above has the virtue of highlighting unfortunate realities so that they are hard to ignore (as has been the case with other recent revelations in the news). I could cite several examples from the two institutions I’ve been most recently affiliated with, but that seems like piling on at this point.
