Professors, It’s Time to ‘Rate Your Campus Admin’ [chronicle.com]

Peruse RateYourCampusAdmin.com, and it’s not totally clear whether the website is supposed to be
funny or serious.

“You will have the power to evaluate the performance of the senior administrators on your campus,” the home page declares. Below that are claims that the site is “fueled by experts” with “years of user experiences with higher-education administrators, condensing a wealth of knowledge about their performance and future employability.” A banner prompts people to “add your administrators here!”

Higher Ed Must Change or Die, by Jason Wingard

"I am the president of Pennsylvania’s second-largest institution of higher education. Temple University is a public, R-1 research university in a major East Coast city with a medical school and health system. Our research portfolio has more than tripled in the last decade. You would think all of these key distinctions would help me rest easy at night. That has not been the case as of late. . . ."
