There comes a point when increasing spending merely increases the number of PERSONS involved and the number of programs. Eventually, the superfluity of persons and programs grows like a cancer, consuming the organization without providing an iota of benefit; to the contrary, funds are diverted from productive programs into useless garbage. No area of human endeavor displays this better than education.

A university once comprised several colleges, each of which comprised several departments. The university was directed by ONE president, each college was directed by ONE dean, each department was directed by ONE department head. This structure worked for centuries.

Today, universities have "vice presidents","assistant vice presidents"; colleges have "assistant deans", "sub-deans", and even "deanlets"; and so on. Most of these are NON-TEACHING POSITIONS, that is, they perform NO EDUCATION NOR RESEARCH WHATSOEVER. Instead, they administer "affirmative action" quotas and introduce preposterous pseudo-subjects such as "gender studies", "women's studies", "paranormal activities", "racial studies", "LGBTQ studies" "multiculturalism", "culture appropriation", "dialectal studies", ...

Serious attempts to improve education require abolition of these pseudo-subjects along with removal of those who introduced them and taught them.

There is even a website which generates a fake paper each time it is accessed:
