University of Leicester firing all pure math faculty
I wonder if the end game of higher education looks like purely administrative bodies with enormous tuition that just provide the students with leisure, varsity sports and regular events on the currently hot social justice topics.<p>I studied pure math in the Czech Rep. between 1996 and 2003. The administrative staff was about 10 per cent of the entire  body of employees.<p>Reading that administrators actually outnumber teaching staff at some American universities today, I cannot help but ask what went wrong. This kind of bureaucratic bloat would make late Soviet Union blush and professor Parkinson rewrite his books.<p><a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/feb/28/teachers-outnumbered-schools-administrators-suppor/" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/feb/28/teachers-ou...</a>
