The Fast and the Furious (Neurons): Representational Drift.

a common feature in this emerging genre is the thinly veiled contempt that the administrative classes of institutions have toward their own students, and there's a simple explanation for this: those administrators see students chiefly as revenue streams rather than fully participating humans
