Re: RE: Bureaucracy



Jim D. did a good job of describing academia as a medieval guild
organization.  On the other hand, when it comes to the grant acquiring
side of the university, it becomes untra rational -- perhaps even moreso
than the other forms of bureaucracy.  In short, you have two different
mind-sets, although one is quickly gobbling up the other.
