Disclaimer: Yes, I am not in a good mood because of the poor performance by the Patriots yesterday and their loss to the Broncos!!! I cannot guarantee that the tone of what you read below is not necessarily the result of this.
Once upon a time, like in the 80s, the Higher Ed institutions were ahead of corporate America in terms of innovations in technology and uses of technology. Now I feel like we are far behind, especially in administrative systems. I am proud to say that at Wellesley, we have found interesting ways to help our administrative offices overcome some of the hurdles, but now that I am responsible for the Registrar’s office and we need to deal with other institutions, it is so frustrating.
I will not name the other institutions with whom we have reciprocal arrangements through which students can take classes in each others’ institution. The whole experience from the student perspective is nothing than a nightmare.
