What do you think the consultants are doing? They're mostly last year's graduates anyway.

Admitting "Our students cant design or code" is also pretty wild.

Is it any worse than an army of consultants? It would be one thing if it was some off the shelf software but a huge chunk of this project seems to be a new custom application intended for student and faculty use.

It just sounds like Accenture-ware with a new name.
