“One person is an autocratic president of the university for decades” certainly wasn’t a flawless system but it’s clear that “admins hop from job to job scaling the career ladder by filling their CV with ‘accomplishments’ that are expensive burdens to the schools they leave behind” is even worse.
The worst thing to happen to academia was the emergence of a nomadic administrative class like the one in corporations who just move from institution to institution setting fires and walking away.
Say what you will about the flaws of faculty governance, but at least they believe in the mission.

came into the senate like a hurricane, did untold amount of damage to the people of arizona while filling her bank account. our system rewards this through the revolving door of failupward, and she's gonna rake in millions in advising fees and board seats. no wonder folks are cynical about politics!
Breaking news: Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) announced she will not seek reelection this year, avoiding an unpredictable three-way race in the swing state that had many national Democrats worried about holding onto the seat.
Kyrsten Sinema will not seek reelection in Arizona
She listed several bipartisan accomplishments in her announcement but said “compromise is a dirty word” in the current system, and that her political style was no longer appreciated.

Lets stop allowing #DEI to be used as a negative. Its really about #WhiteFragility or #WhiteMajority wanting to put in mediocre at best candidates that can #FailUpward like #PeteHegseth.

This was legitimately the first idea I was excited to continue working on and I still am 6 months later.
Having high give-a-fuck-edness is so integral to starting and maintaining a business.
I have a graveyard full of half finished apps, ideas, and parked domain names as proof.

You'd think they'd try to find someone we'd want to vote for, who didn't have such an awful track record as a federal minister?

They’re just doing what mediocre white folks always do—failing upward with audacity and then blaming DEI for their discomfort. Of course they hate accountability… it messes up their whole “mess up and move up” routine.
