This is a pretty petty complaint. My own personal experience as a student and later staffer at a university (no where near the 30 years this guy claims) had much more scandal and disillusionment for the entire CONCEPT of universities even existing at all.
'Spin' is the complaint? If you don't spin bad news you are stupid. In any endeavor. Saying one thing and doing another is so far down the list of problems that I'd consider existentially relevant. I might even go so far as to say NOT doing so is a far bigger threat to your future. Politics are important in political endeavors (shock)!
In the meantime, Human Resources departments, formerly called personnel departments, have mostly morphed into ‘departments of people’. The problem is that they do not seem to deal with people. Instead they occupy themselves writing policies on equality, diversity and inclusion and solving problems which do not exist.
We get close to an actual problem in this off-topic statement at the end of the article: parasitic sub-groups that exist to perpetuate their validity and nothing else. This is what corrupts and kills an organization.
I don't care about spin for internal shortcomings. Sometimes you have to call the piss rain to get through the winter. I DO care about spin for external shortcomings, also called 'propaganda.' Carrying the water of a failed state-held philosophy, and lying to the public about the merits or demerits on matters of culture and human condition. These are the things the universities lead the world in, and these are the dangerous and actionable reasons they should cease to exist as they are.

Maybe this article is meant to lower the expected significance for other/future academic scandals. They've just had a couple of school leaders go down because of student conduct policy concerns and plagiarism. There is certainly plenty of more misconduct to expose.
I must be tired. I see Spin, and I remember the drug in the show Lonehart. The one where the guy takes on the powers of animals to defeat bad guys. Years later I realized he was a skin walker in training.
Having not watched Thundercats either, I can only assume that Lonehart is an animated kid's show that wouldn't hold the interest of a grown man who's never seen it before.
If you want a head trip, watch Captain Powers. The creators went on to make Babylon 5 and other greats. It's a cheesy show to sell toys with great writing and cinematography.

Would you consider the show worth watching? Would you recommend it to people?
It was equal to Thundercats in my first grade mind.
Do you mean BraveStarr?
Yes! I messed up the name. My apologies.
