It's just like him too, y'know?

Any time anyone tells you that they're going to "run [whatever it is] like a business," just turn around and walk away.

The problem is that people who know how to run a business are too smart to get involved in running a university, which has what could be called a "fragmented corporate culture", or to translate: everybody hates each other and will actively sabotage other departments and academics even if it harms themselves too. The administrative staff are usually either resentful or incompetent, and the financial tracking is limited to "how much did our phone campaign bring in?". This was three paragraphs long before I calmed down.

Good business administrators are busy running good businesses.
