I've put together this little picture showing how administrative creep is exploding at @univofstandrews. In 2018 we spent more than half as much on administration as on academics. Much of this has been driven by rising expenditure on 'Academic support staff' (1/4)
Notice that a change of Principals occurred right about 2009-2010 and 2015-2016... Apparently new principals like to spend on administrators. (2/4)
Notice that I explicitly exclude 2019 - as the data looks very odd for that year. Apparently, we saw a 40%+ increase on academic spending - which is just very hard to believe. (3/4)
