I really wish Weiss would make her case more quantitatively. But while I'm at it, does she have a piece on the general structural phenomenon of institutional capture, how it works and how to fight it?
For instance:
>The problem has come not just from students, but from administrators, who often foment the forces they capitulate to. Administrators now outnumber faculty at some universities—Yale employs 5,066 administrators and just 4,937 professors—and law schools haven’t been spared the bloat.
This is an actual quantitative, causal explanation. Why does it not pothole to an entire article or study? I want to know more.
- blisterpeanuts 5y ago(Aaron Sibarium wrote the article, not Bari Weiss.) It would be interesting to see whether law schools in specific have "administrator bloat". It's certainly true that generally universities have more admin than faculty--and admin frequently are higher paid, as well, especially in this era of adjuncts making $50/hour and no benefits or job security.
