    Universities have 2 templates. One was designed by a contracted designer. It features the company logo, and only works in recent versions of PowerPoint. Everyone struggles adapt the template to anything useful. The other was designed by a math professor, it uses the school colors, but is otherwise pretty much default. He receives emails periodically with people asking to update the template, which he promptly deletes. Neither of these templates is aware the other exists, they are simply never in the same room.

      The Marcom dept takes calls from these two populations daily. They have an official template used for dean presentations.

      They are not sharing it for many, many good reasons. And a few hilariously shitty ones.

      Just one of many cases of the designer having not a single clue what is valuable to an end user
