The biggest clue is administrators' salaries, for I can tell you firsthand, Stefan, a lot of faculty aren't seeing it.

The more financial aid made available to students to 'make college affordable' the more expensive tuition gets. The cost of tuition relative to inflation over the last 40 years is the most telling figure.

The larger problem is that these Universities are often hedge funds masquerading as non-profits.

Not at all.

I suggest you are inferring a relationship that does not exist. Endowment size does not, I think, necessarily cause high tuition rates. The rules around how universities can classify that $ is a morass that seems to lend opportunities for misappropriation

A lot of that comes from alumni donations.

I'd also like to see how much money universities are spending on Deans and Diversity Administrators relative to faculty over time.

We can’t take the obvious anymore sir!! Sigh.....

Not necessarily. How much and how many endowments are available to be applied to things that reduce tuition. All? Some? None?

There's no such thing as over-charging. If you want something to be cheaper, you you must produce a cheaper alternative. Subsidies just make it more expensive.

That should be a source for student debt relief.
