I don't think I've seen a more scathing review of the situation in higher education than this. Makes me cringe and say "surely it can't be that bad" even though I consider myself a horrible curmudgeon who sees universities as deeply flawed institutions equivalent to basically a hedge fund that teaches classes for tax reasons. Yet this is someone deep inside current universities, so they'd know more than I would I guess. Yikes!
