How to Run a University

Megan McCardle in a recent blogpost reminds us about the importance of communication, especially from one's critics. A group is always wiser when it is open to the give-and-take of debate.  Large bureaucracies would do well to remember this.   I especially think this is true in universities, where we all think we know best, but we need people with bladders hitting us on the head to do our work effectively.
