Meaningless tasks and faux-business strategies prioritised by British universities have skewed their real roles of teachinig and research. Looking at decades of university growth, most expansion has been by university administration, not faculty. On the other side of the pond, one US study found that between 1975 and 2008 while the number of faculty had grown about 10% the number of administrators had grown 221% during the same period. In the UK, the large majority of universities have more administrators than they do faculty members. We are on the way to realizing an “all-administrative university” if nothing is done. André Spicer at The Guardian comments that since universities are broke, we should cut the pointless admin and get back to teaching.

The traditional way where people keep in mind the schools of thought, such as economics, leaves one scratching their head as to why they would not apply it to themselves?
At the moment there is a Californian bubble of thought which doesnt seem to burst where established schools of thought is ignored.
What the non Alt-Left and Left are saying, for which the latter are simply ignoring, is that the skills on offer by said universities have no applicable application to work or productivit or society.
After many years of that criticism, and with the alt-left about a week away from crucifying the 99.7% of people who wont stand for their Nazi ideology. The parents of the students know this and have used capitalism (evil word in these circiles) to express their dislike of this revival of nazi core values.
So here we are. Either the uni's wake up and offer traditional courses, or listen to hedge funds based in remote island chains.
But that isnt what "The Guardian" is in the business of pointing out.
So you can see why this is fake news - nazi's are tyrants and hate debate. Why side with them?
