I am taking a required online training on "internet security" at my new university. In order to get the course to run properly, I was advised to enable all cookies and pop-ups and relax several other security settings in my browser. Good times.

The latest argument in favor of "those who can, do; those who can't, teach."

I'm an ex teacher, BTW/

And the final part:

Those who cannot teach administrate[1].

@rgulick note that my excellent uni has world-renowned experts on cybersecurity, and highly skilled instructional designers. But all of this was farmed out to a third party, which is why it could hardly run inside our canvas without everything breaking. Another example of how we hire consultants to sell us what we could do better ourselves but think we can’t “afford” to support internally.

I presume the "we" hiring the consultants are not the faculty who usually know a thing but the administrators, who at many universities I'm familiar with are corporate/corp-adjacent types who know line-go-up.

Internal team would not pay the comission to the pockets due, simple as that.

@actualham @rgulick management getting in the way of education. It's the late-capitalism way. I've learnt that any mandatory education with the word Cyber in the title has little to do with security.
