systematic is not the same as systemic ...

Of course. The cross-subsidy is large. My informed guess is that law, business etc are the big generators sector-wide. The challenge is most felt by high-cost arts disciplines such as performing arts.

Not sure that the lower cost of teaching 'classroom' subjects is the political advantage for those subjects you think it is! I can share directly how costs flow across subjects. Running down the contribution that other colleagues make is not a great argument either. Probably not what you intended.

Very few people seem to understand university finances and, distressingly, this includes many academics and most policymakers. This is an attempt to condense the key points you need to know. open.substack.com/pub/profseri...
