Here are two (somewhat) easy things university administrators could do to improve education. Firstly, every point of connection with students and faculty should have a readily available mechanism for feedback. A suggestion box (whether physical or via a website) is a powerful way for an administrative system to be aware of its strengths and weaknesses. Secondly, the barriers between administration and academia could be broken down. Administrative staff should be encouraged to observe and understand the teaching process and academic staff should be made aware of the administrative challenges of running an education institution. I think this would at least be a good start.
