Well those 400 ‘useless administrators’ cost more than their $120k salaries - benefits, office space, meetings, etc. Many of the administrators are required by federal laws - title IX, disability services, report writers. As we’ve all learned this week, most universities have international student offices to issue the I-20 invitations, to do the filings with ICE, to make sure there is compliance.

There are a lot of country club facilities but the college are competing for students against others in their tiers, like Ohio State may try to attract students thinking about Pitt or Penn State so put in a million dollar pool or suite style dorms. There are still plenty of schools that have traditional dorms, no frill meal plans, and art studios in the basement of the theater building. Usually the tuition reflects that. My D#1 went to such a school and her R&B was $5000/yr less than her sister’s who lived in a suite style freshman village and had an unlimited meal plan. I really felt the schools were quite similar in their offerings but the cheaper school did a MUCH better job in administration.
