“We’re all teaching three times as many students as we were six years ago, and we don’t have any more of us and any more money.” This seems very strange. Are universities still so far in the dark ages of management accounting that they don't give departments more money if they have more students taking their classes? I understand it won't be purely proportional (Philosophy departments may need to have small classes and require subsidies) but if a department grows 3X, shouldn't the resources at least grow somewhat? Say 2X or 2.5X? If not, it's a recipe for disaster.
