Somewhere Between a Jeremiad and a Eulogy

Cut to the future, 2016. The catalog is no longer printed in hard
copy. Everything is on the web, accessed through something
called a "portal." If you Google it, you can cut into the portal and
arrive directly at a website called Pomona College Administrative
Offices and Services. There are fifty-six links on this front page,
but to get the full list of administrators, you need to click those
fifty-six links plus an additional fifty-one links. Even then it's a little
confusing, because many of the main offices are broken up into
suboffices for the purposes of this main web page. But the basic
organizational structure (after one does some piecing together)
is this: Pomona College now has, by my careful count, 271 administrators (note: this number does not include the administrators
that are shared in the Claremont University Consortium, which
includes a CEO and nine other top administrators, who oversee
some 5C pooled services, including health benefits, the library,
mail and some phone and IT services, campus safety, the Office of
the Chaplin, and some shared maintenance offices). The number
of Pomona College faculty remains roughly the same (a current
Pomona website lists the number of regular faculty at 186). The
number of students has increased to 1,640.
The president now has nine vice presidents (up from four in
1990). The Dean of Students Office has gone from six persons in
1990 to sixty-five persons in 2016 (not counting administrative
assistants). Academic Computing has gone from six persons in
1990 to thirty-six persons in 2016. The Office of Admissions has
jumped from six to fifteen (again, none of these figures includes
administrative assistants). The Office of Development (which
formerly included Alumni Affairs) counted sixteen persons; now
those renamed offices tally forty-seven persons all told. A few
years ago Pomona created a new position, Chief Communications
