I agree with many of the comments above. We pay a sizable chunk of money to send our child to OSU, and yet that money doesn’t seem to be going to the faculty doing the teaching. The ones we know don’t get paid much; certainly a lot less than all of the Vice Presidents and Deans this place has.

And there seems to be more and more bureaucracy every year. I saw an article that non-teaching staff (all together) outnumber regular teaching staff at OSU by something like 6-to-1, higher than just about any other state school. A faculty member in the article above said that over half of the money the Arts and Science College makes gets paid as a “tax” to the University Administration. I’m guessing a lot of that goes to pay all of those non-teachers.
