Here's a crazy idea, how about universities lower costs? They're spending insane amounts of student Tuition on Administrators that were never necessary in the 80's or 90's or even most of the 00's. Why are colleges hiring so many administrators, some even approaching 1 administrator per 1 student, how is that sustainable?

Every day just after 5pm, sitting in my college's Engineering atrium, I would start to see a veritable army (dozens and dozens) of youngish, well-dressed people walk out to the parking lot and leave. They weren't faculty, because I knew all of the faculty, and they weren't students. They had little embossed metal nametags. I suddenly realized that the classrooms and labs I knew were only a tiny part of the actual building, and we were outnumbered.
