Big Heads - Small Brains

It is galling how sometimes administrative types believe that they are the only people of importance at a university. For the most part, adminstration.... deans, vice presidents, presidents, the registrar, and technology services people are simply bags of hot air. The purpose of a university is simple.... education: to allow professors/teachers/instructors to teach students information on a variety of topics. The university provides the skeleton, the framework to allow the professors/teachers/instructors to do their job.

Unfortunately in this era of "W", the administrators have their big heads butting into each and every part of education, and even though their gaseous heads take up a helluva lot of space, their miniscule brain capacity makes their presence utterly anti-education oriented.

We have a registrar here that feels he has the right to tell us the best way (actually the ONLY way) we can have students take our courses. He has absolutely no understanding of science, the process of science, nor the needs of our students. He is so blatently assinine that if I were portraying this on television or on film, people would boo and yell at the screen saying the story-writer/producer is a fool for making a character so utterly unbelievable and ficticious and a characature. "Certainly there is no way in hell anyone would be like that fool who is being portrayed on the screen!" they would holler.

But, no, as God is my wittness, I speak the truth and state categorically that our registrar is a pure, blooming, assinine, idiot.
