UT's Officially Disapproved Information Source and HISTORICAL ARCHIVE. The only source of truth, where Paradox Manifests: Hundreds of thousands of visits. Yet No One Admits to Reading It. Welcome to the "Grey Area" where "Unethical Utterances," i.e., criticisms of administrators, are commonplace. Make U.U. here where genuine civility still reigns, a.k.a., freedom......................... UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO'S EQUIVALENT TO RADIO FREE EUROPE
Jacobs' arrogance is astonishing
It's the same old, same old at UT
. . . . Either Jacobs is misleading the media or he has misled the Board of Trustees. President Jacobs objected to "the general tone" of the UT-AAUP Newsletter. Many persons on this campus object to the "general tone" of the Jacobs Administration. During his tenure as President, he has introduced an administrative culture of fear and intimidation. . . . A point of logic must be raised here, with all respect to UT AAUP, the conclusions that President Jacobs has (1) misled the media and (2) the Board of Trustees are not mutually exclusive. Both would seem likely given his considerable talent at spinning "visions." |

This illustration doesn't have nearly as many executive offices as could fit in Lloyd Jacobs' image of the number of administrators it takes to run a university (into the ground).

What the heck happened to Tom Barden?
We saw in a recent online IC piece that Barden has announced his upcoming retirement because he wants to “spend more time with his family” – which I think we all know is very often a euphemism for “he was unceremoniously shown the door and/or thrown under the bus.”
Our suspicions along these lines are further aroused by the apparent lack of any formal mention of Barden’s departure in the UT News – again as far as we can tell online from out of town.
So what’s the skinny on this?
Just a normal retirement – or more ruthless campus Realpolitik?
article on the retirement of Tom Barden appeared in the UT News today, and from my discussions with him a few months ago he told me then that he was planning to retire and I did not get a sense or indication recently that he was forced to.
now let the fun really begin...

You can tell that the administrators are intellectually overloaded and defeated when they only want two or three bullet points for every goal.
So, let's lower the IQ requirements for these adminwhores who will collect their bonuses before you get your merit raise...
May the Grinch visit their families as well!
