A lot of the inefficiency comes from being an educational institution.
Mentoring grad students is inefficient. Giving research opportunities to undergrads is even more inefficient. Universities would be far more efficient if they would only hire researchers with PhDs and professional support staff. But then they wouldn't be educational institutions.
