Definitely working together is something to strive for. It's
interesting how slight nuances change the perspective. It would seem
that "providing a service" takes away from mutuality, but the concept
of "serving" would promote it.

I'm not sure if you're being facetious, but it sounds as if the
administration is not a "member" of the University.
