Emergent Truth

Are You Ready for the New Administratively-Centered University? 

 Of course, by the trick of having administrators teach an occasional class, bloated administrative salaries can be made to appear as faculty salaries, so it appears that administrative costs are far less than they really are.  Is this sort of deceptive book-keeping what is meant by synergy or the idea of the university as an economic engine for job creation? It sure creates a great many jobs for insiders, such as administrators and ex-BOT members.

RESULTS

(The Big F)

Training the Big Wheels

Only $161.99 at Overstock.com, this handy apparatus could have saved the University $388,838.01 up front, not to mention the additional bonus money that will be paid for further on-the-job training.  

Upper level UT administrators should get one in lieu of bonuses and salary until their on-the-job training is complete. For some of them this on-the-job training period has been going on for more than five years. Obviously they haven't heard of probationary 90 day hiring periods.  

But one can just picture them on their little bikes, riding up and down the big third floor hallway in University Hall, just like big, albeit exceptionally well paid, kids.  They would do less harm that way.

The optimal thing, from an administrative point of view, about Five

First Ingredient: A Glorious Leader (with bonus package)

We must think positively!

The minnow. . .

 . . . will swallow the whale.

 Great minds will employ . . . 

 . . . new technologies . . . 

 . . . to install new knowledge and remove all doubt . . .

 . . . under the omniscient guidance of an ever-growing bureaucracy. . . 

 to reach the masses.

 The New University will allow immediate penetration into virgin minds.

 It will allow us to showcase ever more glorious leaders.

Let us pray.
