[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this thread, a group of people who have no idea how colleges and universities operate. Colleges are complex organizations. Running a residential college is akin to running a small city - those 6500 administrators you site at Princeton - they help keep the lights on, students housed and feed, curriculum certified, research evaluated, data measured, funds raised, and bills paid. If you really want to know, read Power’s “Organization and Administration in Higher Ed.”[/quote]

Are you saying that’s it requires 2-3 times as many people to do this as it took 25 years ago, even though the number of undergraduates at these institutions are roughly the same?  [/quote]
Yes, because the demands we place on colleges for services are bigger and more complex than 25 years ago. [/quote]

Especially mental health & tutoring services. [/quote]

+1 The needs of students and demands of parents is totally different than even 10 years ago. Mental health services, food allergy accommodations, disabilities, career advising, extensive study abroad options, student life programming, security/safety/campus police, Title IX are just a few things that have evolved and may now have their own office or center.
