  2. Many alumni have been alarmed by the growing number of administrators versus the diminishing number of tenured professors. We have been told that the demographic cliff that is supposed to arrive in 2024 is the reason for decreasing tenured professors, but there is no good reason for the ballistic growth in administrative departments. The names of some of the departments is, frankly, amusing. Sewanee needs to pay more attention to its core purpose- education.
