UK votes to dissolve university senate, strips role of helping set school policies

Article note: We knew the board was going to rubber stamp it, but it's still repugnant. As best I can make out, the entire premise is "We can't squeeze any more money to support administrative bloat and monument-building construction projects out of the pool of qualified students, so we need to start admitting more unqualified students to pump those numbers." This power grab apparently kicked off because the faculty senate wanted to reinstate test requirements for admission (which our vast pandemic-era forced experiment has demonstrated generally improves the diversity of admitted students, because standardized tests are one of the few good way for students from disadvantage backgrounds to distinguish themselves in a portable way), and the administration didn't want that getting in the way of expanding enrollment into taking a couple semesters of tuition from more students who are grossly unprepared for college.
