Cambridge v-c: crisis could lead to job cuts in ‘worst-case scenario’

This is the time to start slashing all the useless meetings, get rid of the Quality Assurance Agency and Office for Students that combined consume far too much of Universities resources. It is also a good time to slash loads of useless managers and overpaid pro VCs. There are billions to be saved with very little loss to the student experience in the classroom.

Maverick2 has it about right. UK universities have lost their way and forgotten their missions.

Not just the UK, it seems most Universities have more bureaucrats than academics these days. Certainly the case in NZ. Few generate revenue or research, and while some are essential an army of managers and marketers seems an unnecessary financial burden.
