Start pulling the string on this, and it looks like there's a potentially borderline admin, Gwen Gale,(1-3) at the heart of this, and the Chronicle article is just what boiled over into the slightly more real world of academia.

This "inertia" is nicely described by the histogram of new admins. Those who seized power in the middle of the last decade are running with it.
