Message: A sophomore at Brown U is facing the school’s wrath after he sent an email to non-faculty employees asking them “what do they do all day?” to try to figure out why the elite school’s tuition has gotten so expensive. “The inspiration for this exercise is the rising cost of tuition,” Alex Shieh told Fox News Digital. Brown’s website estimates the total charges to attend the 2025-2026 school year is $95,984.

Shieh set out to determine what Brown employees did and why the school was so expensive. He formatted his site to identify three particular jobs: “DEI jobs, redundant jobs, and baloney jobs.” And now he’s being punished.

Over the past decade, faculty costs at public universities has been stable, but administrative costs (deans, assistants to the dean, etc) have almost tripled. In other words, non-teaching expenses at public universities are out of control. Many of those non-teaching people are “compliant” officers whose duty it is to make sure the university adheres to all of the red tape gov’t has put in the way of educating students.

Congress needs to investigate Brown U’s board of Directors.
