When one member of an academic department at a university hooks up with another member of the same department.
Considered slightly incestuous because often members of the same department are often an insular social group that work, hang out and often live (roommates) together. Can also lead to a degree of nepotism.
On the other hand, can be quite common or even encouraged due to the lack of interaction with non-members of the department.

An alternative collective noun for a shuffle of bureaucrats, specifically those with some sort of auditing task. Inspired by their flocking behaviour and use of clipboards as a work tool. Derogatory.
"Better sort out those paperclips, Bob; the Department of Clipboards is just getting out of the lift."
