One thought on “Robert Enlow: In our public schools, central office staff is growing—not shrinking

  1. I want to add another candidate to this phenomenon — that being Ivy Tech Community College. Truth in advertising: I worked at the College for 19 years and retired in 2018. However, the point that I would like to posit is that the central administration of Ivy Tech grew significantly over the past at least 8 -10 years while enrollments have flattened or dropped. While leadership is needed to steer the ship, increased costs of central administration come at the expense of additional faculty required for engaging students. My professional view is that growth in central administration has not significantly improved student learning outcomes, but rather, just gummed up the works of a complex bureaucracy.

    Ivy Tech Community College is still a public college supported by our tax dollars and should be co-equally examined on how they spend our hard-earned monies that are taxed by the state government.
