I'm not sure I buy the idea that a no-name setup can get away with paying adjuncts to tutor the same as universities can pay them to teach. Even though the prospect of jumping to tenure-track is increasingly remote, I think there is an element of wishful thinking with a lot of adjuncts hanging around the university semester after semester. I'm not sure the magic applies to No Name Brand Tutoring School.
That being said, universities are preposterously top-heavy and loaded with insane numbers of overheads - academic superstars who don't teach, layer upon layer of admin (Australian universities are stuffed to the gills with managers and marketers and social media consultants and Deputy Vice Chancellors In Charge of Being Someone's Mate, etc), and lifestyle stuff for the students.
