Reply to comment by thebatfan5194 in Western Connecticut State University in 'crisis,' and must act urgently to address finances, falling enrollment, report states by IndicationOver

The problem with a ton of these colleges is that administration has become a large portion of the yearly cost. I have a friend on the board at Uhart, and despite charging close to $70,000 a year, they are losing money because 35% of the budget is just administrators who get paid more than teachers for very niche positions that require less than 20 hours a week of real work. I know this is a problem most universities are facing right now, even state schools.

Public highschools have the same problem. They don't have money for teachers but money for administration. Where my mother teaches the district has a six figure art therapist who only goes to her classroom once a year. It's beyond pathetic and nepotism is a huge factor.

I’m glad people are finally seeing the amount of useless jobs out there.
