Harvard employs almost as many administrators as there are undergrad students. 7,024 admins vs 7,153 undergrads. unreal! what the hell do they do?

Did you get this from marginalrevolution.com? Looking at Harvard's website around 5,500 administrative and professional staff. That is still high but not hyperbolic to the unbelievable. At tuition costs of $55,000 a year that just isn't possible.

I’ve also seen employment figures much higher for Harvard.

Let’s be honest, higher education cost are ridiculous and it much less about about education and more about big business.

These institutions could be run much, much leaner. Administration bloat is a problem
