Well, I've just received an "invitation" to participate in a workshop to shape the admissions procedures and processes of the University (we have just re-organised to one central admissions office rather than separate undergrad and postgrad offices). Whilst I admire the ambition to include the views and creativity of people from all parts of the university and all steps in the change from application to acceptance - the workshop is for 3 consecutive full days 9-5 in week 4 of term. On what planet do people think that a part-time research active professor with full teaching and admin "service" loads can spend 3 full days navel gazing with administrators? I would have been happy to be involved for one or maybe even 2 days, but 3 is ridiculous.
Rant over.
