Stanford has a $40B endowment and enough real-estate and land value to put a damn 10x multiplayer on that. They should probably employee more people and further distribute all that capital they're sitting on.
- LarsDu88 3y agoWell they could and should employee more people, but is it really better for society if all those added people are administrative assistants versus say... physics researchers?
- mmcwilliams 3y agoIn many (likely most) cases the non-teaching positions listed in this survey are staff researchers servicing a grant.
- LarsDu88 3y agoIn that case the article is a bit misleading. Underpaid staff researchers are indeed very often the ones making the world a better place.
- iancmceachern 3y agoYes, it is in fact better for soceity. A soceity made up of all physicists and no office managers wouldn't work. We need multiple office managers per physicist for our economic model to work.
