If you think about it, tenure isn't really an obvious problem (since it only affects quality, which most don't care that much about). As for pay, at least at public schools, it's not very high. Administrative bloat? Some of it, like the diversity infrastructure, is mandated from without (regulations and/or legal concerns). Some, like vanity recycling programs, will indeed get whacked. In truth, though, the reforms that would really matter are (1) reduce college loan subsidies to a rational level, and (2) increase state funding of public universities.
