The California State Auditor has delivered a damning assessment of the management practices at the single largest university system in the United States. The Chronicle of Higher Education reports:
View ArticleThe California State University system has increased its hiring of managers at a steeper rate than its hiring of other employees over the past 10 years, according to a new state audit.
And in a report on the audit released on Thursday, the state auditor, Elaine M. Howle, wrote that the system could not sufficiently explain why it needed all the new managers, including deans, head coaches, and vice presidents, among other positions. […]
The audit also found that the system’s 23 campuses did not have policies for periodically comparing their spending levels or reviewing their budget limits.
