I'm confused. Why is any of this happening? What are the motivations behind the people putting up all these barriers?

  There has been a vast increase in the proportion of administrators to faculty and students on college campuses throughout the US [1] The result of this is greater administrative political power versus faculty and students, which leads to campus and academic culture being reorganized to suit administrators over faculty and students. The cause of this is lots of available money needing to be spent, from huge tuition increases over the decades, in turn driven by government policy. Guaranteed student loans and their inability to be discharged in bankruptcy had unintended consequences.
