I have a hard time believing that it is easier to hire an academic than to hire an administrator. These are questions of power, and academia has ceded power to administrative staff in what is a good example of Nietzsche's Master-Slave dynamic, where the master has the slave take care of the unpleasant duties of life, and over time becomes dependent on the slave for the basics of life, and finally the slave rules over the master.
