I have my doubts about that common explanation. A few years ago I tried to find historical tuition data but only found it online for a couple schools, Stanford and some state school that I don't remember. For Stanford what I found is that a plot of log(tuition) vs time [1] for the last 100 years is almost linear. I think I got similar results for the state school.
