I have an idea. It's because every time that government (federal and state) has thrown money at universities to make college more affordable, they've taken that money and thrown it at tenured professors and regents with an 'edifice complex'. Costs for a colelge education, like health care, have FAR outstripped inflation. And from what my daughter told me, the professors work less and less - frequently recycling the same material so they're not working much in between years either.

Not only thrown money at the tenured professors (whose salaries I have absolutely no idea of) but how about at the athletic coaches? I read recently that Urban Meyer - after taking a year off from U of Florida - is now Ohio State head coach at $4 million per year plus bonuses. No tenured professor is making that kind of money. The $4 million comes from the money brought in by sports for a part but I am sure also from tuition increases.
