- Lack of respect
- Imitation of perceived grand characteristics of the grand state university
- Long mission statement marking out all territory that might be useful in the future
- Tolerance of salary inequity justified by a vague concept of market value
- Insistence to have what real universities have: sports at high level, research, terminal degrees, highly paid administrators
- Budgets out of control
- Reduction of the institutional mission to one item: survival
