Some people think debt or decadence will be the end of the West. I personally believe it will be bureaucracy.

- djulius 12y agoCouldn't agree more. For universities, it is the dictature of the accountants. Every penny spent must be checked by an almost infinite hierarchy of accountants/manager who have no experience of the core tasks of a university (teaching/research). More precisely, I don't know if the hierarchy is finite or not, or if there is a termination problem in the process. Sometimes penny checking finishes, sometimes not.
