[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [/quote] 48,000 employees for a school with 11,000 students is absolutely insane. No sympathy.[/quote] Most of those are health system employees who have nothing to do with the number of students. It’s insane to me that you don’t understand that.[/quote] Nice try. A quick Google search reveals that there are approximately 26,000 employees in the Duke health care system. That leaves 22,000 administrators and factulty for 11,000 students. Still an insane number.[/quote] Google harder. There are 9,202 campus employees. The rest are affiliated with the health system in some way. https://facts.duke.edu/ (Scroll about halfway down.)[/quote]
