About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

We Are Not Alone

Lots has been written on Whither and elsewhere about our entitled President.  This "overpaid CEO" mentality has seeped into academe over the last few decades as boards of regents/governors/whatever decide that private sector ways of operation are bound to give superior results.  If the result being sought is a handful of poster children for the Peter Principle soaking up untoward resources, then yes, mission accomplished.

Anyway, it seems that the problem is pervasive, as seen in this story about U. California.
