Cornell Has 1 Administrator for Every 2 Undergrads

Cornell University employs one administrator for every two undergraduate students, according to an analysis by The College Fix.

During the 2022-23 school year, the most recent data available, the university had 7,764 full-time administrators and support staff, according to information the school filed with the federal Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.

Administrators and support staff include management, student and academic affairs divisions, IT, public relations, administrative support, maintenance, legal, and other non-academic departments. Full-time student enrollment that year was 15,685, making the ratio of undergrads to administrators and support staff 495 to 1,000, or one to two.

Professors willing to talk about this trend noted that DEI had already been a focus for the administration for a number of years, but that aspect of the school’s mission significantly ramped up after the protests surrounding the death of George Floyd in 2020. The administrative hiring spree ramped up simultaneously.
