From Steven Pearlstein<\/p>\n

….while students are paying more, they are getting less, at least as measured by learning outcomes, intellectual engagement, time with professors and graduation rates. And although students are working more hours at outside jobs and receiving more tuition assistance, student debt now exceeds credit card debt and has become something of a national obsession.<\/p>\n

….While faculty critics have made sport of pointing out the proliferation of assistant provosts or the soaring salaries of college presidents, these don\u2019t represent most new spending. What does is the growth in the number and pay of non-teaching professionals in areas such as academic and psychological counseling, security, information technology, fundraising, accreditation and government compliance. <\/p>\n

….Few students or parents realize that tuition doesn\u2019t just pay for faculty members to teach. It also pays for their research…… Teaching loads at research universities have declined almost 50 percent in the past 30 years, according to data compiled for the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean professors aren\u2019t working as hard \u2014 surveys show they\u2019re working harder and under more pressure than ever. Rather, says former Mason provost Peter Stearns, it reflects a deliberate shift in focus as universities compete for big-name professors by promising lighter teaching loads and more time for research.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
