College tuition has soared in the past 20 years — and so too has the number of paper pushers. According to an analysis by The Daily, the proportion of administrators, managers and other nonteaching staff at America’s top 198 research universities shot up by 43 percent from 1993 to 2010. 

Much of the growth came from universities and colleges adding a broad array of professionals, including loan counselors, coaches, social workers, technology experts, doctors and dentists.

“The reason for it is, essentially, mission creep,” said Jay Greene, head of the department of education reform at the University of Arkansas. “Universities have extended far beyond their traditional set of responsibilities of trying to produce and disseminate knowledge and have become essentially nonprofit conglomerates with fingers in a variety of activities, businesses and services — and those cost a ton of money.”
