I got into teaching to help students actually think, but this week is all about publication counts and pleasing the committee. My best ideas don't fit the metrics, so I keep quiet about them. I'm watching the reason I came here slowly get squeezed out by paperwork and politics.
More people experience this than they realize.
The politics and metrics of the institution keep crowding out the real search for truth.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
