What was Orwell's instruction about breaking any rules rather than saying anything utterly barbaric? Evidently, even (especially?) our universities don't heed Orwell's warning
anymore. (Well, to be fair, this isn't news, as RK and I both know
all too well.) This blog's personal favourites:
Coordinator of Student Involvement. The job is daunting when one recalls that students are involved with members of the opposite sex, members of the same sex, blogs, Star Wars memorabilia, fashion accessories, and quantum physics.
Gender Faculty Specialist. I am not sure what that title means. But if this specialist is somehow responsible for determining the gender of faculty members, I would urge extreme caution.
Coordinator of Liberal/General/Interdisciplinary Studies. A mad slasher has discovered adjectives.
Coordinator of Organized Research. OK, it's only one adjective. But what are they trying to accomplish -- to distinguish organized research from disorganized research?
Pity the poor bastard that gets stuck with a title like "Coordinator of Interdepartmental Affairs."
