Narcissim rewarded with high office in Higher Education? Say it's not so!

"I have created an organization that is more driven by relationships than reporting lines." If there's a more succinct summary of narcissistic management, I haven't seen it.

That from the regular Confessions of a Community College Dean column at Inside Higher Ed. The Dean thinks: "I suppose it's possible that W[ashington] S[tate] U[niversity] is the land of milk and honey, in which peace and love reign, and into which an outsider attempted to introduce sin. Anything's possible, I suppose."

Where, oh where is the more narcissism than in higher education? Prison, maybe? The elitist, illuminati thought police (tenured professors) hold their charges -- our future -- in intellectual captivity. Sad and depressing.
