#University #management phrases that hide what they really mean, No.433:
Middlesex University has embarked on an Accelerated Change Programme (ACP)... to maintain (restore) the university's 'financial sustainability'.
Of course, it's no surprise that what the ACP actual entails is cuts to provision & programmes.
'accelerated change' equals cuts.
I'm sure Middlesex like so many universities is under a lot of financial pressure, but the terminology is just dishonest managerialism...
