Imperious administrators reward themselves with CEO-level salaries and embark on absurd building progammes dedicated to their vanity, while treating academics with contempt, as disposable and interchangeable. Academics need a voice. Being subject specialists as well as expert practitioners of pedagogy in higher education, they should be at the heart of decision-making rather than on the periphery. Workloads are maxed out in the interests of "profit" and "growth" and experts are ignored while management meddles even with course delivery and assessments. It is a race to the bottom that has hollowed out universities, transforming them into entertainment, real estate and finance companies that dabble in some teaching. Academics at post-92 universities are particularly affected by this. We, the students and those administrators who actually undertake meaningful work and support ARE the university. We are ruled however by a parasitic aristocracy that despises us and is seemingly outo to destroy us. This is wrong. It must change. 

Give Back Academics Their Voice!

Not only this, like an onion the ever increasing layers of management are reaching ridiculous levels where they outnumber the people at the sharp end from porters and cleaners to research supporting technical staff, researchers and academics, the layers of this onion need to be drastically reduced, doing this will save a fortune and enable the recruitment of people who actually contribute rather then spend all their time justifying their position and large salary.
