Bloated administration caused the costs to skyrocket. The administrators are in charge of cutting costs. The administrators will cut every cost except their own headcount and salaries, because the machine protects itself. As a comparison, when I went to college, we were taught by full professors with Ph.D's and graduate assistants did the grading, helped with student questions, etc. These full professors had office hours where you could walk in and talk to them. One of my professors was an integral part in building the IRS database. Another was a project manager who helped build the SABRE system. Yet another argued a case before the Supreme Court (one if the highest accolades for a lawyer). Other professors also had impressive accolades in the "real world." This was a public university. This was in the mid 90s, I assume it isn't that way anymore. The good news, I guess, is in the US, each state is responsible for their own educational system. If the state you are in has horrible education, you at least have the option to enroll in another state.
