"Increased Spending Has Not Been Going into the Pockets of the Typical Professor"

"The rapid increase in college enrollment can be defended by intellectually respectable arguments. Even the explosion in administrative personnel is, at least in theory, defensible. On the other hand, there are no valid arguments to support the recent trend toward seven-figure salaries for high-ranking university administrators, unless one considers evidence-free assertions about 'the market' to be intellectually rigorous."


Paul F. Campos in The New York Times argues that increased college tuition is due to increased pay for and number of administrators.
