When big donors say to Big U:

"I'll donate again when you reduce your ratio of admins to faculty to what it was in the 60's"

True, but in the meantime faculty need to find ways around the power of the administrators rather than waiting for fairy godparents to intervene, especially given that administrators control all the budgets and have entire departments devoted to flattering donors.
