Northwestern University employs more than one administrator for every two undergraduates, including several new DEI staff in its sports program, a College Fixanalysis found.
In the past decade, the private Illinois school has created nearly 400 new administrative and support staff positions while also adopting a policy to hire more “diverse” staff.
Meanwhile, its student enrollment numbers remained relatively stagnant.
During the 2021-22 school year, the most recent data available, the university employed 4,258 full-time administrators and support staff, according to information the university filed with the federal Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.
