The Journal also noted that perhaps the cause of such Orwellianism was too many idle administrators chasing too few students: “For 16,937 students, Stanford lists 2,288 faculty and 15,750 administrative staff.”

@Axtremus said in In a Nutshell:
@Klaus, just curious, are janitorial, landscaping, and food services contracted out or operated by the university itself?
@Jolly @George-K some question for hospitals.I doubt it. Those positions are pretty constant, iow, for a given hospital, I doubt that you would need more janitors, etc as time passes.
You've this (now old) chart before.

Over a thirty year period, my hospital saw approximately the same number of patients, albeit with a pronounced shift to outpatient events. Our doctor numbers remained fairly steady, but with less residents and more staff positions.
But we saw a marked increase in HR, various nursing desk jobs (InfCon, PI, etc.), HIS, and at least a half-dozen Clipboard MBA types from Admin, covering things like Joint Readiness, etc.
None of these guys actually laid hands on a patient.
