Narrow peeve of the day: I really hate the way universities have outsourced (graduate) admissions management to a few outside vendors, every one of which provides an utterly awful user experience to everyone involved.
Ditto faculty hiring. Everything is awful about these systems, for everyone who uses them.
I'm not talking about the process for deciding which people get admitted/hired (though that certainly has its problems). I'm talking about the IT systems that people use to apply, upload letters of recommendation, and review applicants. You have no idea how awful these are.
Unless you've ever used them. Then you know exactly what I mean.
