I'm dubious honestly. For one, the separation of college costs from inflation started before 1993 and that's even called out in Bennet's op-ed from 1987. Second

I'm dubious honestly. For one, the separation of college costs from inflation started before 1993 and that's even called out in Bennet's op-ed from 1987. Secondly, the number of students enrolled has increased dramatically while the number of new colleges has not. Acceptance rates at elite schools have dropped precipitously in the face of increase demand. Same as skyrocketing housing costs, you can certainly see how certain policies have had an impact, but the overwhelming force is simple supply and demand. If we accredit 1000 more colleges next year, I guarantee that tuition will drop.
