"When people talk about the outrageous cost of higher education, it is because so little of the tuition money goes towards the actual education, and the few activities a student participates in, and a huge amount goes towards giant administrative fees, unnecessary facility fees, research employees who do not benefit undergraduate students, "

- TinyBig 13y agoCheck out the numbers from the University of Virginia: http://www.baconsrebellion.com/articles/2012/06/uva_bureaucracy.html http://www.baconsrebellion.com/articles/2012/06/uva_bureaucr... Instruction is less than 15% of the budget.

- encoderer 13y agoThat doesn't make much sense? There are many things to account for that. Fewer professors per student. Increased spending on non-salary costs of instruction. I didn't say he needed to be a math whiz, I just asked if he (or you?) had actually looked at the facts.
