The History of the Rise in Administration

Below is the history of the rise in administration.

Three significant questions arise:

1. Do we need administrator at high salaries to replace the job of area/department Chairs? (This is what happened in 2002-2003.)

2. What is the explanation for those position that were once Coordinator or Director positions that got converted to administrative leading allowing nearly 2x the salary for the same job? (This is what happened to the MST Standard Chair from 2000-2003 and the Technology position in the past few years)

3. Why are some Director positions administrative and others not? (Director of Transportation is non-administrative @ just over 70k while the Athletics Director is administrative @ over 106k and the Technology Director is administrative @ over  131k).

Pretty quickly the art and English administrator position were ended because of backlash that these were not needed Admin positions: 11 (then 2 shut down – 9 remained)	2 were added – Athletic Director and Technology converted to an admin salary (nearly double) Admin positions: 11
