My observation from the inside is that size and bureaucracy in Universities has something to do with what you’re talking about, but more to do with a kind of “organisational overfitting” where small variations of the organisation’s experience that included negative outcomes are responded to by internal process that necessitates headcount (aligning the incentives for response with what you’re talking about).
