in case it's not obvious enough, this four-quotation-tweet is a joke. one of those four has no business being the kind of university you want to work at
"after getting the vice-chancellor to explain why he thought a university should be run like a business, he realized he didn't really know why, he just liked saying that, and so now everyone else at the university benefits economically given no one is trying to make them redundant any more"
i dunno, if the leader of my university told me their top interest and priority was 'diversifying revenue', rather than one of the other things, I think I'd start looking for a different place to work

I would love to see a uni actively say, X is not a priority. Well run organisations do this all the time
