Kansas State’s president, much in the news of late, puts his son (UD assumes it’s his son) on the faculty (scroll down to the last name).
UD thanks a reader for pointing this out to her.

The School of Leadership Studies!!!
Too good to be true. The Departments of Higher Education Administration had better look out. There’s a new boondoggle in town, partner, and they’re gunning for you.
Martian: "Take me to your leader!"
KSU student: "Um, we have a whole bunch of them. Do you want the Senior Associate Director for Student, Alumni and Community Relations? The Senior Associate Director for Administration? The Senior Associate Director for Academic Affairs? The Kansas Campus Compact Executive Director? The American Humanics Director? The American Humanics Graduate Teaching Assistant?"
Martian: "The one who calls the shots. The big kahuna. Have I got the idiom wrong?"
KSU student: "Oh, you mean the administrative assistant."
Martian: "This just means ‘secretary’ doesn’t it?"
KSU student: "Yeah, but in a wefaldibulous department, that’s the real boss."
Martian: "This term wefaldibulous is not in our lexicon-explain."
KSU student: "Well, it’s a word from our president, Jon Wefald…."
Martian: "Say no more. I understand."

I’ve been reading various KSU comment threads, tp, and for some reason Wefald is popularly known around there as The Weeper, or Weepie. Maybe he cries easily.
