Ugh, that does sound really frustrating. Certainly, people bring up too many overpaid administrators a lot. It's a compelling story too because it's got a well-defined bad guy. I've not seen much depth to the analysis though. Another story might be that "administrator" is what some people call people whose jobs they don't know or don't associate with "running a college"? Elsewhere in this thread folks have pointed out that colleges _do_ a lot more things now, from mental health services to just being bigger (and so having more overhead and associated middle management). _More_ administrators isn't bad if they're doing useful things.
