Most of the problems that OE lists as having to do with departments are actually problems handed down to us from the central offices (too much complex, illogical processing, too little training). Academic departments have been weeding out non-productive staff for years due to budget cuts; I really doubt any departments were clamoring that Shared Services help them get rid of their deadwood staff.
Intl. branch campuses are only new to the USA, which is more than a decade behind Europe on this regard. European universities have some large branch campuses, not the small undergrad campuses described in the Chronicle article linked here. And they use these to increase their international enrollment, which again in the case of US universities (And UC esp) is woefully behind.
