Comment: It would be nice for the R-G to give this some context. How much has the U's budget increased over 15 years in admin vs instruction? How have those salaries compared over that time? How about the percentage of students that are from Oregon as well as the actual numbers, compared over that period or longer? 
Certainly, that number of increase is astonishing. Already, kids are graduating with unbelievable (to boomers) debt: are the administrators at least addressing the problem, identifying the drivers of this unsustainable jump? At this rate, only the rich, both domestic and imported, will be able to afford state college.
