But you knew this already ...

... the elites of all sectors are busy trying to continue to squeeze the system so that they can become even more elite. And this most certainly includes the presidents of our leading universities (see, that last phrase let's me off the hook with my own employers).

From The Washington Monthly:
* Given universities' financial troubles, it's not at all encouraging to see so many college presidents give themselves raises.

The sense of entitlement by our leaders in finance, politics, business and academia is out of control. And it is not as if they were actually doing anything other than leading the institutions they lead anywhere upwards.

Or am I too cynical?
