Or student feedback forms! Mmmm...

As if illness porn weren't enough. Perhaps a short vignette about a lecturer who can only achieve orgasm through having the vituperations of students s/he has made miserable recited to him/her, with all mis-spellings carefully enunciated?

So I'm a bit thick - I don't get the title of this post or the line you put up under the image. Can you explain what you mean, please?
cheers,
Nate

apologies - the line is from UK University Vice-Chancellor (ie the guys - its usually guys - who run things) and the "edufactory" is a new coinage for the extraction of value from universities

Got it, thanks. I'm familiar with the edu-factory project, I just wasn't sure where the quote came from - if it was from the edu-factory people or someone else.
cheers,
