Hence the rise of bullshit jobs, all trying to justify their existence through initiating change for its own sake and seeking to measure its benefit.
It's no individual's fault: it's a collective abdication of the responsibility of intellectuals because we need jobs.

I do disagree with the article on the lack of link between the idea of HE as a business and the bullshit jobs the piece describes. Success in marketisation is a concept fundamentally quantitative. What I perceive is the result of a commitment to quantify what is - residually - unquantifiable.

I'm also concerned that administrative procedures and staff support students treating education as a product they buy, not even as a professional service resource that students themselves have to mobilise actively.
