Some under-the-radar #highered news from #Ky : the attorney general has found that the University of Kentucky violated state open records laws when it withheld a "Statement of Work" relating to #Deloitte, a firm it consulted in developing controversial plans to end shared governance at the University.

People would be shocked to learn how much of the cold hearted, calculated nastiness that is thrust on the average person by corporations and governments alike is spawned in the bowels of very well paid consultancies like mckinsey and deloitte.

"In When McKinsey Comes to Town, two prizewinning investigative journalists have written a portrait of the company sharply at odds with its public image. Often McKinsey's advice boils down to major cost-cutting, including layoffs and maintenance reductions, to drive up short-term profits, thereby boosting a company's stock price and the wealth of its executives who hire it, at the expense of workers and safety measures. McKinsey collects millions of dollars advising government agencies that also regulate McKinsey's corporate clients. And the firm frequently advises competitors in the same industries, but denies that this presents any conflict of interest."
They often consult on both sides of real conflicts. https://www.parnassusbooks.net/book/9780385546232
🚨Petition for ALL #Kentucky residents, pls share widely!🚨
Based on an unscientific study, the Board of Trustees at the #UniversityofKentucky passed a resolution that threatens to eliminate shared governance at the university.
Pls stand w/ United Campus Workers #KY in calling on President Capilouto to oppose and present alternatives to this plan.
