I have no wish to invalidate the frustrations and concerns you have with the faculty at your institution, but I hope you realize they are just that: concerns with the faculty at your institution.

The small university I work at has faculty who are quite the opposite. They push for faculty development, and for support for the staff who support them.

I suspect that part of the difference is that this is a small university—basically a liberal arts college with a vestigial graduate program—while I'm guessing the institution you describe is a larger one.

I think you are right, although I'll note that I'm speaking from experience at three institutions now (two large, one small).

I would highlight small liberal arts colleges as absolutely different. From working at a number of 'top ranked' (sorry...vomit) STEM focused institutions, my kid will be significantly coaxed towards a small liberal arts college no matter what they are interested in pursuing professionally.
