So much for transparency and collaboration:
“We need the right structure and the right people doing the right things,” Spellings said. “We must break down silos and encourage collaboration, transparency and effectiveness.” A $1.1 million study by the Boston Consulting Group is analyzing the university system’s staff organization and will have a final report in the coming weeks.
A preliminary update on the report, which was funded by an anonymous donor, on Friday showed 15 general recommendations, including expansion of external affairs, a lean strategy and policy unit, and a strengthened data and analytics function.
This is a public University System, built with literally billions of taxpayer dollars, and we're supposed to be meekly satisfied this anonymous donor has the best interests of tens of thousands of students and a healthy chunk of our annual budget in mind? Either the name of the donor or the specifics of the contract (what the donor asked for), or both, need to be made public immediately. I'm also not sure it's a coincidence that Art Pope is in California testifying on the need to shelter Koch donors from public scrutiny, especially considering his history of attempting to manipulate UNC System curricula.
