[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m looking at the list of the administrators/staff at my alma mater. We have the dean of the business school. Two associate deans. An assistant dean of diversity and inclusion. Assistant dean for student life. Assistant dean of the graduate school.  Dozens of academic advisors and “program coordinators” and “program directors”. Director of recruitment and admissions. Director of communications. Social media specialist. Director of assessment. Director of Faculty Affairs. Director of operations. Operations associate. Director of alumni relations. Alumni relations associate. Senior marketing specialist. Employer relations and events coordinator. International programs manager. VP of finance. Assistant director of student services. Senior student services coordinator. Director of student life. Assistant director of engagement and events.

The list was in alphabetical order and I stopped at the “Es”. And that’s JUST for the business school! Multiply that by the school of nursing, the school of engineering, letters & science, school of education, etc. and the university-wide administrators. It’s insane. [/quote]

I agree with you 100%. Most of my friends that work at a Division I college just go to meetings.  They do nothing for the students. They go to local meetings.  They travel to international meetings at least every 10 weeks or so (non Covid).
I honestly don't know what they do or even meet about. They are not even high level.  I would say they are very low midlevel workers.  They are not professors and have nothing to do to curriculum.  There is a lot of B.S. admin type of jobs at colleges.

University of Michigan reveals that the flagship institution's diversity office has an $11 million payroll. Over $11 million a year on 93 diversity, equity and inclusion "administrators". Average diversity administrator makes $10k more than a PhD-holding junior professor. Husband and wife diversity duo -- Robert Sellers and Tabbye Sellers -- bank over $600,000 a year. $11 million is enough to give over 700 kids full-ride scholarships.
