As a former administrative staff member at Harvard (web developer in the IT department) for several years, I can't think of a single coworker who spent their days "just writing emails". This is complete and utter nonsense.

The administration is responsible for the entire operation of the university, outside of teaching. And it's a relatively large university with a lot of different divisions/schools. There's a LOT more to "administration" than writing emails and standing on stage at graduation!
