Summary: Keyan Tomaselli’s accessible critique of market-driven neoliberalism is offered as a metaphor to analyze the excesses, contradictions, and obstructions in contemporary university governance. With incisive satirical humor, Tomaselli delves into the quirks of education administrative systems to show how manic management negatively affects teaching, research, science, and reasoning—and must be brought into check to preserve the very nature of the academy.
