HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Why Not Adjunct Administrators Instead of Adjunct Instructors? It Makes Far More Sense. “Most of the growth of university costs comes from administrative bloat. Non-faculty staff has grown at more than twice the rate of instructors – you know, the people who are the ostensible reason a university exists. As tenured professors retire, administrators kill those tenure lines and replace them permanently with part timers. Administrators do this so they can gorge on a higher salary while demanding more.”
