Similar nonsense going on at the University of Virginia. Our Board of Visitors (UVa has a different name for everything) is dominated by people who got MBA's from our graduate business school and then went off and made ungodly sums of money, much of which they gave to the University and the correct Virginia politicians. Because they did well in school and then made a lot of money, they think they are educators. Lately they've seen Harvard, MIT, and a few other elite schools putting a bunch of material out on the internet and worried that UVa was going to be left behind. So, they panicked and organized a coup to oust the popular President. The faculty and students went ballistic. Huge donors said, "No more money for you." The Governor is pissed: http://www.governor.virginia.gov/utility/docs/LetterToUVA-Board.pdf

He says that they will fix the situation by Tuesday or he will demand resignations from the entire Board of Visitors on Wednesday.

I am really sick and tired of people who think that everything should be run like a business.

The Board of Visitors apparently has not heard about how many Wahoos (that's what we call ourselves) it takes to change a light bulb. It takes four. One to call the repairman, one to pour the drinks, and two to talk about how great the old lightbulb was.
