"College administrators" doesn't mean "sysadmin". And it's a pretty bizarre interpretation of the linked article to say that the author is implying that sysadmins (as a subset of non-teaching staff) are parasites. Rather, the article's claim is that the relative growth rates of teachers, students, and non-teaching staff imply in the aggregate some inefficiencies in the way the college's functioning has been evolving. The argument may or may not be correct, but it's analysis isn't prima facie ridiculous and its meaning is worlds away from what you're saying. On top of THAT, even the most uncharitable interpretation of the article (ie, tarring college administrators as mostly parasites) would quite obviously not include the kind of work you're describing, ie support staff for course materials.
