75% of Brown University employees are not instructors!
All kind of bureaucrats.
Interesting classifications of those people.
Goons, flunkies, duct tapers, taskmasters,...
It’s not just Brown. It’s very widespread at universities.
The USAID slush fund pays no-show employees to do one job: vote.

A major reason for continually soaring tuition rates.
Loads of bureaucrats. But dining halls, dormitories, janitorial needs, playing fields and facilities as well.
He didn’t come up with those categories. Some kind of radical prof did.
But pretty nasty and callow for the young privileged Ivy Leaguer to insult thousands of employees.
” young privileged Ivy Leaguer “
Paying 93,000 per year to get a mediocre education is not a privilege. Neither is working hard to get good grades. Being smart is not really a privilege. A privilege is the ability to criticize those who succeed and pretend they don’t deserve what they worked hard for.
Getting into an Ivy League college is a privilege. And $93K is the list price. Only the very wealthy pay that. The dude was oddly silent when Kirk kept bringing up that cost. He’s a rude snot.
“If Brown is for you, we’ll help you get here. Our generous financial aid initiatives are designed to enrich our campus community by ensuring that no student who belongs at Brown will encounter cost as a barrier.
How do we do this? We meet 100 percent of each student’s demonstrated financial need. And we do this with no loans — only scholarship grants — included in University financial aid packages. This is The Brown Promise, the latest in a long series of initiatives to make Brown increasingly affordable to students and families from all socioeconomic backgrounds.”

Yes.
Back in 80ties, in the industry, we had a secretary for about 100 engineers. There were some HR persons, accountants, janitors, etc. But engineers and technicians were the vast majority. To do that, we had all the computing tools available, to do most of that stuff ourselves.
But in the University, there were soo many secretaries, administrators, etc.
Businesses streamlined by getting rid of “support” while in Academia, and even in high schools and education in general, this ballast just grew even bigger!!!
Education must go the way the business went sixty years ago.
Replace support humans with computers!
Get rid of 3000 people in Brown! The 700 left should be more than enough!
BTW, I think, that is the problem with ALL government. Too many admin.
The gov. employs 2,300,000 civilians. I bet, we can get rid of about 2 millions, streamline the operation like the business does, and nobody would notice!
