Maybe for the costs to go down, the administrative fat could be trimmed instead.

Especially when you consider that it's gotten to the point where at many schools with the worst and most extreme administrative bloat, there is one non-teaching, bureaucratic administrator for every student.
In the absence of UBI can you blame them? Not everybody can, or wants to, be productive.

Why should those who don't want to be productive be supported by those who do?
Taxpayers end up with bill either way, I think, either directly through UBI and welfare or indirectly through losses due to crime, policing costs.
Europe has a good approach by using subsidies as a more palatable UBI initiative to keep their startups afloat.
