It's not just the pay of a few top level officials: the number of employees in the university bureaucracy has exploded over the past few decades. What's interesting is that this growth tracks quite well with the increase in tuition costs.
Forget the president's salary, does a small university really need six separate deans of residential life for undergrads alone, plus a support staff of three for each?

EDIT: Sure the effects of "the crisis" might be a recent contributor, but the trend in both tuition and loan volume is longer-term than that.
