Oh I can leave no problem, but *my* sole leaving won't do anything.
I have tried to organize the staff to walk out, write a letter, try a vote of no confidence, but most of them are forced to cling to their $7-10 an hour. There is no union for anyone on campus, and no one will do anything together.

Here's the problem...
You are the one with the problem.
You are not bound to them. You want to leave? Fine. Do it. You don't have to try and ruin the University to find a better paying job and you might as well not burn the bridge on the way out. You aren't required to work there, you aren't in charge of what everyone else does. If they want to work a dead-end job at a dead-end university, who cares? That's their problem.
It's kinda "Mind-your-own-business".
