You seem to be barking up the wrong tree - I don't think universities should be driven by a profit motive.
Public or private, they have a vested interest in keeping the balance exactly where it is: they make a median salary of over $400,000... many times over the median salary of the people actually doing the work.
Business is good!

Originally posted by @freakykbhIt has little to do with a "business model" and much to do with the freedom university administrators get when it comes to hiring and remuneration practices. Since administrators are in charge of determining their own salaries, they just assign themselves a high salary. CEOs in business use the same tactic.

It is really sad when an adjunt with a Phd gets 11 dollars an hour and a warehouse worker at Amazon gets 15 for driving a forklift. Says something pathetic about our system.
Have a college class at your door overnight!
It.....could.........WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
