@matthewdgreen theoretically profs chafe at the admin substate in academia ... So with the situation as stated in the article how should we weight the explanatory reasons: * Profs lost institutional control imposed on them, and can't get it back * Profs lost institutional control they initiated which grew bigger than them * Profs are surrounded (by paperwork) and don't see a way out; they've become cynical as it's become a way of life * Increased tuition to pay for increasingly expensive admin means the uni's customer is more themselves then it should be At the macro scale the complaint here is analogous to the frustration American doctors have about patients (to much paperwork too little time with people) or Brexit. The question is why can't incentives be aligned; why aren't the purported customers (students, patients, voters resp) able to have more power? For this level of institutional failure if we see it as that, the profs, doctors, reps (resp) have got to be part of the problem sad to day.
