BEGINNING QUOTE:

"An academic administration is a branch of university or college employees responsible for the maintenance and supervision of the institution and separate from the faculty or academics, although some personnel may have joint responsibilities. Some type of separate administrative structure exists at almost all academic institutions, as fewer and fewer schools are governed by employees who are also involved in academic or scholarly work. Many administrators are former academics with advanced degrees who no longer teach or conduct research actively." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_administration
