I'll be back to spend more time here for sure...(please pardon my tangent as it may be off in another direction but your article provoked it, particularly the idea that a lack of admin skills may be part of the "jerk" problem...<br /><br />In the Education College where I’ve worked the chair and many admins have advanced degrees in public administration and business. The result it seems is the business model gets applied ad nauseam leaving education theory in the dust with many educators in adjunct roles (me included) with nominal influence at the college. Because too many people see good administration as strictly a bottom-line issue the human element becomes a part of the machinery (the over-head) and then some jerk tells you can’t work any more than 12 hours a week or “we have to give you benefits.” All too often it takes a jerk to make a business or college profitable, and my experience has shown that there are a lot of jerks in the private sector/business ( jerk behavior is tolerated if it makes money). So, could it be that it’s the profit motive that’s really at the root of this jerk-problem? rj sullivanhttp://rjsullivan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463695817360395312.post-86811060091608926872013-10-18T12:45:04.851-05:002013-10-18T12:45:04.851-05:00Thanks.

The really odd thing is, the kinds of un-collegial behaviors we see all too often in colleges (college->collegiate->collegial) are not tolerated in the private sector/business environment. I agree with you, universities facilitate and even reward bad behavior. And those given the job of managing faculty in departments (mid-level administrators) are ill prepared to deal with bullies. I had always envisioned the university setting as a critically important place of creativity, community, collaboration, and intellectual advancement. I still hold that ideal dear to my heart.Elizabeth Delacruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066557993602025296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463695817360395312.post-60899728130502142922013-10-18T12:23:22.739-05:002013-10-18T12:23:22.739-05:00A provocative and incredibly well researched artic...A provocative and incredibly well researched article, Dr. D. These problems are so pervasive and so real, and universities (and schools) so unwilling to act to control incivility and the widespread "jerk-problem." (After awhile, one begins to wonder how it is that universities attract these people, and provide such a haven for spoiled brat behavior). As you note, there may be institutional constraints that contribute to bad behavior. I am not sure that interpersonal nastiness is justified, however, by that fact. We are all fighting our own private battles . . .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303347182264932730noreply@blogger.com
