It is administrative overhead. That is what I am trying capture: efficiency, "leanness", student-centered priorities. Or, the lack thereof.

That may be what you are trying to capture, but all you've really captured is variations in accounting schemes.
For example:
Is $43 million a year to operate and maintain Wesleyan's campus "lean" or "bloated" compared to other schools? Beats me. My assumption is that Wesleyan's mananger are probably as concientious as anyone elses. But, we'll never know because your numbers only include $1.2 million of the $43 million Wesleyan spends.
Of course, $1.2 million to operate and maintain a campus looks "lean" when the real cost is $43 million.
