Nice one Hannah. I prefer to think of the modern ANU as a grand experiment in how many drones can be supported by the hive without the whole thing falling over. It will make a terrific subject for a future blog post.

The whole idea of universities as quasi-private state-created and federally-funded universities is a recipe for managerial corruption. Unlike private sector CEOs or public servants, university managers (we shouldn't grant to them the claim that they are "the university") are answerable to nobody except a rubber-stamp council. Of course they find reasons to pay themselves a fortune.
