Bryan Alexander offers a reasonable and even nuanced description and response to that Chronicle of Higher Education article recommending that campus teaching and learning centers be closed and their staff fired (yeah, it was that extreme). The Chronicle article is behind a paywall, so Alexander's summary is useful (and, as I read the full article on archive.ph I can attest that the summary is accurate). While I consider the article to be a classic instance of the Chronicle's blinkered and cranky coverage of, well, everything, Alexander finds that the post resonates with (some) actual professors. "They saw centers as tools of oppressive administrations, integrated attacks on the abilities, nature, and identities of professors."
