Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3562370, member: 153"] Poor planning is going to lead to things ever more dreadful. These administrators like to shell out the dough in good times on the principle of "Don't just stand there, do something," but they aren't planning for the long-term. And when leadership can't acknowledge its mistakes, it sends the bill down the road and begins to slash at the university's core. It mazes me that we have epidemiologists, business schools, med centers, catastrophe planning experts at these universities, and yet we run them like there's never been an epidemic before, or a financial crisis. If the decision is to not acknowledge the poor decisions, and instead hack away at the core mission, then they are leaving behind a much poorer place. [/QUOTE]
