How the rise of woke 'educrats' is destroying higher education

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : Or look at Harvard, which has long regarded itself as the crown jewel of American higher education.
54% : The ratios tend to be lower at public schools, but still, administrative growth at UCLA has outpaced growth in other sectors, so there are now four times as many staff as faculty.
53% : In the same period, tuition at public colleges more than tripled.
51% : It wasn't until after the Supreme Court's decision in Grutter v. Bollinger in 2003, approving the using race in admissions, that universities began fully integrating diversity officers into higher administration.
48% : They also take power away from faculty who are supposed to be instilling academic norms and give it to political commissars who have little regard for the traditional mission of higher education.
46% : Moreover, between 1987 and 2012, the number of administrators at private universities doubled, while their numbers in central offices of public university systems rose by a factor of 34.
42% : Those who once were technocratic paper-pushers ensuring compliance with federal financial aid and antidiscrimination regulations have morphed into enforcers of radical race and gender ideology.
33% : As Jay Greene, who co-authored that 2021 survey, pointed out, "the real danger of universities hiring so many staff who do not engage in teaching or research is not the expense but how it corrupts the core mission of higher education."
