Raskolnikov38 posted:kill all the administrators and then do something useful with their salary money this is a common phrase encouraged in academia by tenured professors to keep the workers from unionizing. in one college i worked for, the adjuncts (the real teachers) were in the same union as the administrators and it was a good thing for all involved. if you're talking the heads of the college like the deans, yeah i agree

captainbananas posted:as far as i can tell that's a very special place if it allows adjuncts to be union members and/or benefit from CBAs. but i also just have to hard disagree: the administrative bloat in education, K-PhD, is a real problem. not necessarily the most urgent and definitely not so in every instance. but it's real fuckin bad. nah even the admins get paid nothing and the bloat described usually looks like dire understaffing for underpaid workers. the real real problem is the foundations, which have just millions sitting in them for use as a slush fund by the college board. ever wonder why a college could be in a budget freeze yet somehow build multi-million dollar capital projects? well investing in people doesnt make money for the foundation (and therefore the board), but investing in real estate does

its classic capitalist "the reason we cant pay you is because these other workers over there are making too much money" division feeding.

believe me if you win your crusade to pay the admins less the college will be happy to take those savings and reinvest them into the foundation

i mean you might want to ask yourself why a tenured professor who doesnt need to teach or publish anymore is making more than the college president before you wonder where all that departmental salary budget goes but ultimately trying to balance the pay division between administrative laborers and academic laborers within a college system is the wrong question. the only thing that will solve it is a card check on both sides
