Classic case of Baumol's Cost Disease. The core of a university education is still sitting in a room writing down what a professor says. This hasn't changed in more than a thousand years.

Unlimited easy loans have allowed the problem to spiral out of control by preventing economic forces from forcing innovation and increases in efficiency.
