An audit says that the U of Oregon spends less than twenty percent of
its budget on instruction. I wonder whether such numbers are
available for institutions you know? I think I recall that when I
served on the budget committee, where I work spent nearly half of
available monies on instructional salaries (see article for
definitions). Now I'd guess it's less.

I note that auditing how professors spend their time has become the
new thing...so I shall scurry back to reading essays.
When I was teaching at the University of Oregon (1963-1966), the head of
the philosophy department was preparing to go on sabbatical. The
University sent him a form that
asked what he was going to do on his sabbatical, and what supplies and
equipment he might need.
He said that he was going to read, write, and think, and that he'd need
a pencil and some paper.
This was Frank Ebersole, of happy memory.
