Of course there's inefficiency in every large organization, but that doesn't mean you can get rid of it. Every large organization tends to follow Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy (http://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html http://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html), which basically says that over time people who are looking out for the organization's interests (as opposed to the organization's purpose) will always end up in charge.

"The compliance problem is exacerbated by the sheer volume of mandates—approximately 2,000 pages of text—and the reality that the Department of Education issues official guidance to amend or clarify its rules at a rate of more than one document per work day. As a result, colleges and universities find themselves enmeshed in a jungle of red tape, facing rules that are often confusing and difficult to comply with." You will never see a reduction in the number of college bureaucrats while the federal government micromanages higher education.
