It’s a little bit more nuanced than that. One of the problems is administration doesn’t actually know how to tell if professors are actually doing a good job.

It’s a little bit more nuanced than that. One of the problems is administration doesn’t actually know how to tell if professors are actually doing a good job. At the university I went to you could get in serious trouble if too many people failed a course or if too many students gave you a bad review at the end of the semester. My high school did something like this as well. If too many parents complained, it created a lot of grief. Everyone in authority is too busy covering their own asses to do an even a passable job.
