Especially when universi...Exactly my point of view! Especially when universities can become incestuous "good ol'boys" networks where they folks favored at the top are advanced beyond their qualifications or outside of their specialties. I remember one guy who was buddies with one of the VPs at the university I worked for who was brought into a department he'd never worked in, and the director of the department told congratulations! he now had a co-director! The new co-director came out and said to the director he had no idea about how the department worked. Over the next few months the "co-director" assumed more responsibilities and the former director, who'd built up the department to national recognition, was edged out until he finally retired. I saw this time after time after time. Taiji218https://www.blogger.com/profile/05459110295802089245noreply@blogger.com
