Institutions that made the switch
“We dissolved our Office of Research Support on a Tuesday. By Thursday, nobody could remember what it had done.”
“My ethics approval arrived before I had finished describing the study. I have decided not to ask questions.”
“They sent us a link. We were told not to click it. Our overheads fell 96% that quarter.”
Frequently asked questions
- Is OnlyAdmins a real university?
- OnlyAdmins provides the full spectrum of academic professional services. Whether that constitutes a university is a question for philosophers, several of whom we fund.
- What happens to our existing administration?
- Nothing happens to your existing administration. That is, in a sense, the problem we solve.
- What about Deirdre?
- Deirdre is unaffected. Deirdre is always unaffected. Approvals simply no longer pass through her.
- Who reviews the AI ethics reviews?
- An AI. Its work is audited quarterly by a second, sterner AI. Minutes are available upon request and are magnificent.
- Can we keep our provost?
- You may keep your provost for ceremonial purposes. Many institutions do.
- Our university is, regrettably, financially healthy. Can we still transition?
- Yes. Austerity FOMO — the distress felt by leadership watching peer institutions announce cuts they don't get to make — is now the leading reason institutions choose OnlyAdmins. We deliver the overhead reductions without the inconvenience of a deficit.
- My institution doesn't feel ready to make the jump to OnlyAdmins. What would you recommend?
- No institution feels ready. Readiness is not a precondition for transition; it is one of its outcomes, and it arrives afterwards, once there is rather less left to feel unready about. We recommend beginning regardless. Hesitation, you may find, is already Stage One.
You've decided to switch your academic bureaucracy to OnlyAdmins.
May we be the first to congratulate you on an excellent choice.
