“Purdue has a $313,000-a-year acting provost and six vice and associate vice provosts, including a $198,000 chief diversity officer. It employs 16 deans and 11 vice presidents, among them a $253,000 marketing officer and a $433,000 business school chief. Spending on administration has been rising faster than funds for instruction and research at 198 leading U.S. research universities, crowding out instruction at a time of skyrocketing tuition and $1 trillion in outstanding student loans. Purdue and other public universities, which rely on state taxpayers, have become a flashpoint for anger about bureaucratic spending.”
