He was making students memorize 35 research articles for exams. A bunch of psychos.

How do you control people? Overwork them, keep them hungry, stress them out because they realise the lie. The system is dangerous. It needs change.

If it's bad at Uni, then it's probably twice as bad in the hospitals. Back in the day it was easy to get away with this behaviour. Now it is much easier to expose people. It is awful to name and shame people but they kind of deserve it. Perhaps no one has told them. Perhaps they have had people suck up to them. Perhaps they have been told how brilliant they are. Who knows.

It was horrible. Raul Barreto (economic lectuer) called me a fool in the lecture theatre. Luckily they rotate the lecturers so you can pick and choose who you have. It is pathetic behaviour coming from people who should know better.

She has history and form. Ask us !!<br />I am increasingly frustrated that senior people keep getting promoted and protected when their leadership/behaviour is morally and ethically compromised. What are we the Uni system/s doing wrong that people such as this are rewarded for appalling management and leadership practices?! It is sad that this is the best that management can find to do the job of leadership (but then maybe these are the only people who can be located that fit the 'no moral conscience' criteria for such a job?)

There are a lot of senior people who have no clue what they are doing and are running this once upstanding institution into the ground.<br /><br />Favouritism and bullying epecially an issue. So many senior people who are more concerned with showing who is boss rather than doing what is right by the university, it's students and staff.<br /><br />The Vice Chancellor once said "I can't for the life of me understand why every student in Adelaide would want to put the University of Adelaide as it's first preference" (in relation to Undergraduate students). This shows just how blind the man in the top job is to the real issues faced by the institution, not least the treatment of both proessional and academic staff throughout the university. <br /><br />We are sick to death of how things operate and those at the top who are consistently doing what is in their personal best interests and not in the interests of the University. <br /><br />The merger falling through was the worst thing to happen to the University of Adelaide. Elitism at it's worst. We say we aren't elite, but of course we are! Everyone who was happy about the merger not going ahead had the attitude of thank goodness, we are the best, why would we want to run with the plebs, attitude. Those of us in the know saw that as a huge opportunity to pick ourselves up and become relevant again, but it all fell through and we just keep sinking and sinking. <br /><br />Wake up University of Adelaide!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
