… AND they set up committees and working groups – that take HOURS of staff time – to develop strategies and processes that no one will follow… thus wasting all that valuable time – that – and here’s a mad thought – could be spent with students… Whilst typically excluding the people who might have the knowledge and expertise that would actually make a difference. Every year is like Pol Pot Year Zero – where everyone forgets everything that has ever worked – and start again from nothing and no where.
Meanwhile – all the weight of the institution is spent enforcing frustrating practices that have no proven benefit – that waste the time of ALL STAFF to absolutely no good effect… But everyone feels de-moralised, voiceless and under-valued – again.
Where;s Foucault when you need him?
