One point not mentioned is that there has been a great increase in internal bureaucracy in the UA system in the last few years. This is not visible to the students or public. What I mean is committees, planning groups, layers of administrators whose signature is required to do anything. Let me be clear here, I don't mean administrators approving submissions from faculty or staff. I mean layers of administrators approving the signatures of the administrators below them, who approved the administrators below them. If you are lucky there might be a meaningful decision at the bottom of this pile. We have senior administrators whose only job is to sign paperwork which they require. This burdens everybody below including regular staff who are just as overwhelmed or more than faculty.
