It's also interesting that a number of employees show up near the top of mastheads who barely tweet at all. They're bringing other value, presumably.

Like doing actual work. "Managing". Or commenting on The Awl.

@Werner Hedgehog That's a common misconception. One that Archibald and Feldman (among others) have done a good job of debunking:

"The major causal forces for affordability problems over the last decade are shortfalls in state funding of higher education and rising income inequality in the United States, not frivolous amenity competitions among universities or wasteful faculty research. In this light, as policymakers consider their options, I would suggest that we adopt a higher education version of the Hippocratic Oath. First, do no harm."
