How to Run a University
I read a great quote in File under – ‘Silly comments by middle-aged university managers’ by Ferdinand von Prondzynski:
In his book, The Uses of the University, Clark Kerr, the late chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley, suggested that a university president has three key tasks that the institution’s main stakeholders will expect to see achieved: “sex for the students, athletics for the alumni, and parking for the faculty”. Only the last of these, Kerr suggested, presented a problem.
Ferdinand is of course, the President of DCU, so he should know what is is talking about!
I must use this quote in my Quote of the Moment!
