There are way too many admin jobs and nowhere near enough teaching jobs of any kind. That's true of almost every American college and university these days. And it's also one of the reasons why tuitions have ballooned up in the last 25-30 years. The average American family can no longer afford to put their kids through college any more, and many think it's not worth it even if they can afford it.
