I'd blame the other hybrid structure - being a hybrid research/education facility :).

My current belief[0] is that most of the financial waste we observe in universities - the deep layers of middle-level administration, the expensive sports facilities, etc. - all have to do with attracting and managing students. Eliminate that requirement, and a big money sink goes away.

True, but also a big money earner goes away. The question is which one was bigger!
