I frequently say that administrators have killed both the education (esp. tertiary) and medical fields in the US.
I’m pretty sure both of these will implode under the bureaucratic weight at some point — the financial and social costs of the excessive administrators is not justified by their (often minimal or negative) value added.
Yes, it's like someone held up a mirror when you look at what has happened in Higher Ed when the professors stopped running things, and Health Care when doctors stopped running things. Costs skyrocketed, outcomes stagnated or declined, satisfaction plummeted.
