Getting the almost parasitic &quot;managers&quot; off universities should be a top priority goal for the well-educated people. Managers should have no role in any funding, selection or other academic activities. The publishing related rent seeking is a result of poor management of university&#x27;s academic affairs. The parasitic &quot;managers&quot; at universities, either knowingly or unknowingly, help the rent seeking &quot;managers&quot; at publishing businesses plunder money and thus pressurize academics to bow to the publishers. I know, this is very difficult to achieve but not impossible. Efforts like this (sci-hub) are steps in the right direction. Kudos to her.
