Experts weigh in on administrative bloat in Nevada’s higher ed system
By Natalie Bruzda, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Can too many administrators spoil the classroom? That’s a question a Board of Regents member seemed to ask the Nevada System of Higher Education.
At a June board meeting, Regent Trevor Hayes questioned the necessity of hiring a seventh vice chancellor — with a $175,000 annual salary.
NSHE Chancellor Thom Reilly, hired in June, said he wants to ensure system priorities are where they should be. An October board retreat will examine system priorities and aim to ensure that NSHE and its schools are meeting goals such as improving access to higher education and overall degree completion.
