Even AmeriCorps grants build in a percent for supervision and administration and evaluation of volunteers that are recruited to provide services throughout the US in education, social services and environmental concerns, are we going to lose those entry level jobs that have built non profit leadership across all classes and ethnicities in this country? How soon can we expect the whole system to implode and there be few working to pay taxes? Perhaps it is the tax payer, not the Congress that hold the purse strings, if we don't pay the tax there is nothing to pay elected officials, grantees or the military with.
Seth, at least you admit you can not fairly assess the runaway overhead cost at university because you are inside the bubble. Let me give you an example or two that our President thought NIH is addressing. First, at the University of Virginia, some alums refer to as a public ivy has 235 staff dedicated to DEI to the tune of $20 Milllion annually. At another of my former colleges they took the former field house and turned it into a four story office building for administrators and their staff. At another of the great institutions I attended last year it was reported that administrators now out number tenured facility, and I am sure that is true at a lot of colleges and universities. Lastly, some schools were charging a 60 percent fee for overhead, which is completely unreasonable and if a contractor did that on a private or public contract they would soon be out of business. So Seth, our President’s team is just righting the ship. Also maybe they need to look and see what the 50 overhead you are charging is for as from your previous posts it appears all you have is an official and a desk and a wall of bookshelves with only about 15 books. Remember Political Science is a science in name only. 😊😊
Gramsci described the Cultural War Of Position well and the right-wing have been following that playbook for decades (either on purpose or coincidentally) and it's working.
I'm trying to get my elected University Regent to describe to me what he's doing and haven't heard a peep.
