I welcome quantification of opportunities to streamline #higherEd!

In addition to that @USNews quantification of bloat from mission creep (from #edu and #research to entertainment, sports, etc.), there is bloat from disproportionately recent increases in #regulation on #science:

This regularly-updated plot from the #CouncilOnGovernmentalRelations makes it clear:

> more than 60% of the regulatory burden over the past 30ish years were been added in the final 10 years of that period.

Of course, the "bullsh..." jobs referred to in the top-level post go beyond mission creep and regulatory burden. Many unnecessary internal jobs and external contracts (consulting, branding, surveying, "learning management...", etc.) cost embarrassing amounts of money. And the people in these jobs with authority to purchase such services are incentivized to hide the embarrassing costs in opaque finance reports, severely hindering quantitative estimates of "bullsh...".

Mass #Layoffs expected to begn dropping at Linda McMahon’s 'Dept of #Edu in DC this evening as #DJT & #DOGE minions closed HQ to nitpick through lists of thousands of targetable #PublicServants whose only crimes are applying to work in service of the nation. Employees were told to clear out by 6 p.m. on Tuesday ahead of building closure tomorrow as #reductionOfForce notices will drop. There are roughly 4,200 #Education Department employees nationwide and approx half were laid off. The #GOP and Rep Dan Crenshaw scheduled a #DeTrans Awareness Day for Weds as well for those in Dept of Edu and others who wish to celebrate the crippling of the govt #beltway #bureaucracy in other more vindictive ways.
