There's your problem. I'm sure 8,000 of those administrators are not needed for the educational goals of Stanford. They are there for cultural reasons, i.e. social justice warriors. They have to find enough incidents to justify their huge salaries.
“Over 10,000” is actually 15,750 administrators for a total student population of 17,326 students combined undergrad and grad. That’s a whole lot of incompetence and an environment ripe for harassment in the name of justifying a paycheck. For comparison Stanford employs around 2,300 professors to educate the kids.

And we wonder why college is so expensive.
Yes, the worthless administrators must justify their existence. So they create crimes against their desired cultural norms. Insanity really.
Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach become administrators
Not necessarily.
…aka “grifters.”
Nasty bits of work. Perfidious Albion and all that.
I think closer to 9900 of them are useless.

I think 100%.
You said, not I. But you will also notice that I am not disagreeing with you.
Right direction, wrong magnitude: 9990, or maybe just a few more.
