Boards are where every ounce of the action is my friends. Do you know who's on your board? What "expertise" do they bring to the institution? What conflicts of interest do they and their partner have? What litmus test does the political appointing body use to select new members?

The problem with this discourse is that it reveals something that nobody with a stake in their own academic or professional discipline wants to own up to, which is there is no particular educational paradigm that automatically makes you a good person

regrettably if you try to point this out online you'll get yelled out by 79208 journalists going OH SO YOU WANT JOURNALISTS TO STARVE??? even if you're, say, a journalist yourself, and point out that while there are clearly no easy answers, the status quo isn't exactly working for society
