A mega rich businessman was asked about the best way to cut costs and make a company efficient.
“The very best way is to close the company,” said the billionaire wistfully. “That’s when the costs go completely to zero.”
The administration of my university belongs to this school of business philosophy. They want to close it all down but they can’t do that outright so they dismantle it piecemeal.

This is a known strategy of the ruling elite. Take a popular public service that people want, start stripping it piece by piece until it becomes a bad service and people are less likely to be sad about seeing it go. Then blame public service and “socialism” for giving bad results, while private equity can come in and pick the bones.
