On the faculty of Cassius U, we have cut out all of the fat. Assistants? Junior faculty? Administration? Students? No. Here, one matriculates and then acquires tenure and minions in a single fell swoop. Ah, minions. What would we do without them?


You're right. Our Ziggurat would never get completed without them.

Oh, the Ziggurat. Please don't get me started. Just wait until we produce our own brand of Mopologetics. We'll supplant FARMS and Rodney Meldrum.

Just don't commission a building that looks likes it's pissing itself from the firm Disney & Speer. Too much amusement park faux-Aztec/Sleeping Beauty's Castle abounds already. Myself, I favor the neo-Bauhaus of the Dream Mine...
