Why Not Adjunct Administrators Instead of Adjunct Instructors?

[Zinhead]

@katliamom - Let’s see what Hanna wrote in her first post on this thread.

Look at the other threads where parents are distressed because their kid has a crisis and couldn’t get an appointment with a counselor for two weeks, or faced long lines at registration, or is graduating without a job in part because the career center was understaffed. Those are administrative functions, not faculty functions.

Lets see the quote from article in Washington Monthly.

Three main explanations are often adduced for the sharp growth in the number of university administrators over the past thirty years. One is that there have been new sorts of demands for administrative services that require more managers per student or faculty member than was true in the past. Universities today have an elaborate IT infrastructure, enhanced student services, a more extensive fund-raising and lobbying apparatus, and so on, than was common thirty years ago.

What Hanna was providing as as an explanation, more administrative functions, was mentioned and rebutted in the article.
