Universities are also a type of federal system. Schools and Faculties are like the States, and a central administration is like the federal government. Nearly every senior manager of a university doesn’t understand this today. They get paid outrageous sums of money to try to replace that incredibly complex federalist system with bone-numbingly stupid, consultant-driven management jargon. It’s destroying universities. The people who understand the incredible complexity, with origins going back more than 1000 years, are either all fired, or leave in disgust. https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6980029/charles-sturt-university-denies-allegations-of-fraud-and-systemic-financial-issues/
