...it doesn't help that we continue to hear so many stories about academics being plain shit and / or shilling for big tech without much reflection...
years ago there was a joke about MOOAs - massive open online administrations - centralising all the duplicated overhead staff load of universities, freeing up resources for teaching and research.
Maybe that's still the change we need - although with current brain rot at exec levels you know it'd play out in the worst way possible....

@jimbob ...although all of that plays into the "oh there's no money" bullshit game. Which is a tired circle. this quote is great: "What Australia should be doing, according to educators, is rebalancing, announcing a move away from a mass-education model. Universities should be prioritising experience above all else" 💯 I'll fade back into irrelevance now. ...unless aomeone wants to hire me as a uni teacher ;)
