It is never going to end-the university is a business- they do not want anyone that really cares about education in positions of power anymore-they want CEO's and people who have a business background. Education is not even on the table. Elwood Gee upped the number of VP's and Provosts by 300 percent or more when he came to OSU, Inc. the 2nd time- just following the nationwide trend that makes what used to be a learning institution into a glorified vocational school. The humanities and not profitable departments (NOT STEM or Business or Health care related) are persona-non-grata and considered worthless. Everything that isn't branded is in the process of being branded. You can have your name on a urinal if you willing to give money and claim naming rights. Friends from Europe couldn't believe that the new ER at the new building at University Hospital (i refuse to call it the Wexner blah blah blah)- being name the A&F ER is a running joke to anyone that has a conscience. What do you get when you leave the ER -a free gift bag with a buff boy's pic on it from Abercrombie & Fitch? It would be ridiculous if it were not so sad.
