I think the issue is making mountains out of molehills.
If you have ever been subject to the faceless institutional processes judicial, or non-judicial, they can be weaponized in a way that forgets there is a human on the receiving end. We need to be careful when things go overboard with applying the letter of the law and forgetting the spirit of it which is about justice.
Sometimes, the punishment is the process.
> Stanford now has more than 10,000 administrators who oversee the 7,761 undergraduate and 9,565 graduate students—almost enough for each student to have their own personal butler. (There are about 2,290 faculty members.) These bureaucrats make up an increasingly powerful segment of the university population, as they expand their portfolio and send the message that all conflict should be adjudicated by them. (OCS reports for the 2022–2023 school year have not yet been released.)
This bothered me, and this series of occurences in Academia sounds exactly like what is happening with medicine these days.
A bunch of administrators that are not educators ((or physicians) , or professional law enforcement, or judges, or prosectuors, all having professional, and advanced legal educations )) that desperately are in need of work to justify their raison d'être.
