Workers in universities are broadly divided into two categories. Academics, which are usually under the direction of the Provost, and Administration, which is just a bucket for everyone else. From my experience people in the academics side are treated in a completely different manner than administration. If the great resignation were to hit academia it would probably happen on the administration side as those personnel of treated like garbage, underpaid and understaffed, and shit on by every person with a Dr. in front of their name. When I was working at Regis as a software developer they wouldn't pay me more than $65k/year when the going rate was $85k for a Jr. After 5 years as a software dev there I jumped ship and got a dev job with a Sr. title for $120k. They've never been able to replace me with a better dev because no one will work for those kind of poverty wages in Denver.
