What You Can Do To Help – The Administration

Dear Administration,

I look at most of you and I see nothing worth liking. You are quick to take credit for the work of others and even quicker to assign blame to others for your own failings. You probably sucked at teaching and research, and you wanted a big paycheck and a bit of power so you decided to become an administrator. You spend your days trying to figure out how to get a bigger budget and more employees even though there is no rational justification for either. You have put your personal ambition ahead of the needs of UCF and the community.

I don’t think you can change. For you, selfishness, waste, and corruption are autonomic nervous functions. If you want to help make UCF better, then you should quit. Quit and go back to teaching and research. If that’s not an option, quit and go out into the free market and be entrepreneurial.

Truly,
Arthur Barnhouse
