It's Not Faculty Salaries

Ry Rivard:

Colleges' attempts to curb employee costs by hiring part-time faculty members and using grad students are being offset by administrative hires and rising benefit costs, according to a new study by the Delta Cost Project at the American Institutes for Research.

The study uses federal data to examine hiring trends going back to 1990. Over all, it found, colleges have hired at a faster pace from 2000 to now than they did in the 1990s, but that tempo didn't do enough to keep up with an influx of millennials and other students who flocked to colleges amid the recession.
