Adjust for student body that’s what ~1.5 admin staff per Harvard student and ~2.4 per Ohio state. Both seem crazy on their own but also sensationalized. I’d love to see how this has changed over time and compare school cohorts.
- ericmay 3y agoDoes it seem crazy? What’s the baseline? What’s “normal”?
- yellow_postit 3y agoThat’s my point but I may not have made it well. On its own that “feels” high but a better representation would be to look over time and also try to adjust for things like services offered — eg more sports teams likely means more admin. I don’t know if I’ve seen that dataset though.
- ericmay 3y agoI'm sorry. I read that a little differently and then just reiterated the point you were trying to make. It really would be helpful if these things were broken down and better understood amongst the general population. Costs have gone up but I'd be hesitant (which is a reversal from my previous understanding) to blame that solely on "administrators".
