I'm sure the academics are aware of their limitations. Read the book!

It's done already, and nothing will change.

Thx, it is a tad ironic for a publication called The Conversation to close down comments.
In any case, you may want to update your website, as there are promises about accepting comments in some places.

Similar argument used in discussions about drinking age and use of drugs.

This is an inapt comparison: both jobs are very different in terms of control over risk exposure, team work dimensions, output measurement, supply, demand, etc.
Basically apples and oranges.

Absolutely! If they want to end the mess they are in, the allocation of overhead should change. It is a powerful tool to wreck the power of the centre, and keep both profitable and less profitable departments.

Not simply. The more profitable departments, knowing that they subsidize the weaker ones and administrators, have an interest in monitoring. They will vote against bloat. But they also need the weaker depts and admin, because of synergies. It's a shift in power from the top to the stronger depts.

A solution is to allocate the cost of the admin centres of the universities on the basis of contribution margin.
Currently these costs are likely allocated on the basis of staff numbers or square feet occupied. That creates the wrong incentives.
