Did a class on working with big data sets. The university payroll from the previous year is publicly available, so I did your standard crunching. Even talking the chairwoman and the assistant position she set up for her husband into account (the two highest individual wages), the biggest wage cost was facilities (physical plant). This is all the non-admin staff that maintain buildings, grounds, and all the amenities that made the campus run as a public facing entity.
