Of course this is a joke. It's only funny, of course, because it is not so far removed from the robotic managerialism that has burrowed into our universities and is hollowing them out of proper academics for the benefit of retarded league table (Thanks Times Higher Ed - not!) tick box obsessed failed academic VCs - chasing ££ bonuses by any kind of bottom-line accounts savings they can make - and their academic failure toadie middle managers with their snouts in the trough. #UniversityNearYou
