Are there any Greek hypotheses for the dialogues of Plato similar to, e.g., Libanius' hypotheses for the orations of Demosthenes?

Under cover of the busy end of the semester, American University's leadership announced a decision to hire the Huron Consulting Group, which has brought disastrous 'restructuring' to the New School, Marymount Univ, West Virginia Univ, and elsewhere. AAUP statement to come. Please share widely.

Banks used an education consulting firm to push her own downsizing agenda with plausible deniability (‘Our job is to tell the [consultants] what we want to do, they’ll write it up in a report, and then, when there’s public criticism, we’ll say we’re following the advice of the consultants’).
Kathy Banks sounds to have been a real piece of work as Texas A&M president. Also illustrates Muppets Chart. President desperately trying to please conservative regents and alumni by squashing liberal faculty. https://programmablemutter.substack.com/p/who-really-runs-the-university-illustrated
