Jargon at Jefferson's Place

Here is President Sullivan's Rotunda speech at UVA.  Problem is, sympathetic as I want to be, she's making it difficult.  She says she's against the corporatization of universities (huzzah for that -- it's why schools are awash in various layers of bureaucracy, aka the "administrative bloat" that is helping drive up tuition) -- but stoops to using terms like "opportunity costs" and phrases like "Sustained change with buy-in does work."

A Management Professor could have said that.
