"Quality" administrators, lol. Yes, you NEED quality instructors to be competitive and provide a quality education, but if you think that administrators are these highly skilled experts in managing resources PROPERLY in higher education, you are sadly mistaken. Most of them don't know what they heck students and staff actually need. They're there to cut budgets at the expense of VERY needed academic resources and services - and that includes quality, highly paid instructors.

I agree about administration being out of touch. Given especially what Rice was proposing in the meeting like cutting classes than other options first really got my goat. Throw in the crappy dorms they had while shocker the UMPI admin building is wonderful in every way, full of treats, large open spaces, etc. I didn’t expect fancy dorms but issues like mold and other things when buildings are that old were being held together by duck tape while Joe Moir rides around on his new, unneeded golf cart. You can only see so much “I’ve got mine, screw staff and students” before you get mad.
