So what would you say about a group of academics who for no particular reason and in the absence of any pressure whatsoever voted to amend their college’s operational papers to give an administrator the power to veto any decision they make for their departments?
I think they are doing this on purpose. The more they self-sabotage, the greater chance they will have to write weepy “This Job Can Kill You” posts.
I’m very very annoyed right now. We waste our time on organizing committees, voting, making decisions only to be vetoed by the administration with zero explanation given. And the only reason this can happen is because we voted for it.
