[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an alum who donated and volunteered for decades, agree way too much faculty and staff. News mentions Duke at 48,000 employees is second largest private employer and sure a large part of that base is medical and hospital employees. The growth in development staff, DEI, non-teaching faculty is staggering and has to be cut back and this is not unique to Duke as other elite universities are facing similar fiscal problems. Also  when a school like Duke and the Ivies rejects active donating grads’ kids don’t expect checks to continue. Time for these schools to operate more like a business.

48,000 employees for a school with 11,000 students is absolutely insane.

No sympathy.[/quote]

Did you read the prior post. That includes the hospital, which is a huge percentage? Have you ever seen Duke hospital? It is absolutely gigantic. Or do you just cherry pick stats to support your pre-conceived notion that Duke is evil.

And I do agree with the general notion that Duke's admin is bloated. I just hate people who misconstrue facts and data. Especially ones who include "No sympathy." Thanks. No one cares about your sympathy. Sorry you got rejected. And/or are a Tar Heel.[/quote]
