@simba9 and @kelsmom On the topic of “administrative bloat” here’s a link to a post I made in 2017 sharing an essay by Pomona College Professor John Seery on the topic, bemoaning the effect of the explosion in admins at SLAC’s: Burgeoning administrative bloat at LAC's - "Somewhere Between a Jeremiad & a Eulogy"
Within the 2017 post, I think the link to Seery’s article is now broken but it can be found here: Somewhere Between a Jeremiad and a Eulogy - Intercollegiate Studies Institute. His bottom line is that he believes that skyrocketing costs are due to the fact that administrators, not faculty or educators, run the institutions.
