A.

I think it's less about the amount any one person is paid and more about the huge number of administrators moving paper from one desk to another.

I went to a private liberal arts college with a few thousand students. We had a Dean and four assistant Deans, all of whom made multiple six figures a year. Our president when I was there made $450k/yr and had next to no living expenses.

B.

Private v. public has nothing to do with academic bloat.

Exactly this! I attended a major southern public university and the administrative overhead there was immense. Not only that, you had high placed administrators who "retired" only to immediately return as high dollar consultants. Whole thing stinks.
