My wife recently retired from teaching nursing at one of the colleges and her full-time position was not replaced.  Here is some hard evidence of this trend from the colleges themselves:

From 2001 to 2016:

The number of administrators has almost doubled from around 1500 to almost 3000 people (~100% increase)


The number of non-teaching support staff has gone up from 5600 to 7900 (~40% increase)


Teaching faculty has gone up from 6300 to 7600 (~20% increase)


Enrollment has gone up by 30% in the same period.


(See figures #3 & 8)


How do they justify a 100% increase in administrative staff when there has only been a 30% increase in students?  If they want to save money they should look in the mirror first.
