I'm responsible for purchasing, inventory management, employee management, regulatory compliance, HazMat waste handling, radioactive material handling and building safety for a chemistry department. We have 25+ faculty, a dozen graduate students and anywhere between 50-80 undergraduates doing research at any given time in addition the the 1500+ students per quarter that are enrolled in academic laboratory classes. You're right, probably no one comparable job in the private sector. I remember one person per job when I worked in pharmaceutical research.
