Administrators are spending like there's no tomorrow, sure -- but only on things that aggrandize their own reputation and domain. For a long while, administrators have been willing to curtail spending for attracting and retaining the best possible professors and the most promising researchers, including graduate students.
Spending more on things that will surely make administrators look, feel, and be more important: Yes. Investing on things that won't: No.
- rhaway84773 3y agoIt’s absolutely insane how much of the spending is going into useless monuments rather than things that actually improve the educational experience. And sometimes the reason is more sinister than just self aggrandization. I believe the President of at least 1 public college was found to have links with the construction companies that were awarded the contracts and was benefitting from handing them out.
