Administrative duties at the Institute starved Neumann of the publications American academia required

Evidence

My prospects of finding a place at an American institution, however, are also made particularly difficult because during the three and a half years in which I have belonged to the Institute I have been principally concerned with administrative duties. This corresponded neither to your intentions nor to my inclinations. And you offered me the prospect of becoming a research assistant at the time of my appointment. I do not hold it against anyone that matters have turned out differently. But my production of academic publications has as a result been very slight. I have hardly anything from the last three and a half years to show to American institutions. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 948
