Control an University Logistic Number, Boycott School Fees Rise
Over the last two decades, colleges and universities doubled their full-time support staff while enrollment increased only 40 percent, according to a new analysis of government data. During the same period, the staff of fulltime instructors, or equivalent personnel, rose about 50 percent, while the number of managers increased slightly more than 50 percent.
The data, based on United States Department of Education filings from more than 2,782 colleges, come from 1987 to 2007, before the current recession prompted many colleges to freeze their hiring.
Neither the report nor outside experts on college affordability went so far as to argue that the increase in support staff was directly responsible for soaring tuition. Most experts say that the largest driver of tuition increases has been the decline in state financing for higher education.
Still, the findings raise concerns about administrative bloat, and the increasing focus on the social and residential nature of college life, as opposed to academics.
" On a case-by-case basis, many of these hiring decisions might be good ones, but over all, it’s not a sustainable trend." Said Pat Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education.
" At a time when we’re trying to do something to hold down tuition increases," Mr. Callan added, "this gives us a pretty good clue where we ought to be looking. And it does raise questions about the conventional wisdom that you can’t do anything to control tuition without affecting academic quality."
The growth in support staff included some jobs that did not exist 20 years ago, like environmental sustainability officers and a broad array of information technology workers. The support staff category includes many different jobs, like residential-life staff, admissions and recruitment officers, fundraisers, loan counselors,etc.
"A lot of it is definitely trying to keep up with the Joneses," said Daniel Bennett, a labor economist. " Universities and colleges are catering more to students, trying to make college a lifestyle, not just people getting an education. There’s more social programs, more athletics, more trainers, more sustainable environmental programs."
On average, public colleges have about 8 employees per 100 students, and private colleges about 9, according to the report.
In the 20-year period, the report found, the greatest number of jobs added, more than 630, 000, were instructors—but three-quarters of those were part-time. Converted to full-time equivalents, those resulted in a total of 939,000 teaching jobs, up from 614,000 in 1987.
The largest number of full-time jobs added, more than 278,000, were for support staffs, and grew to more than half a million positions in 2007, from 292,000 in 1987. Colleges also added some 65, 000 management positions, almost all of them full time; all told, they had 185, 000 managers in 2007, up from about 120,000 managers 20 years earlier.
Why did many colleges stop hiring more staff?
选项
A、Because the rate of support staff growth surpassed that of enrollment growth.
B、Because they had more staff than needed.
C、Because the current economic depression caused them to do so.
D、Because the staff expenditure was too high.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的many colleges stop hiring more staff定位到第二段的后半部分...before the current recession prompted many colleges to freeze their hiring.可知,经济衰退使得大学停止招人。故C“经济萧条使他们这样做"与这一点一致。A“后勤人员的增长速度超过了在校学生的增长速度”,这句话与本文讲述的内容相符,但不是学校停止招人的原因,故排除;B“职员人数过多”,文章中并没有提及这一点,故排除;D“人员支出过高”,文中根本没有涉及这一点,故排除。
