      No university president feels responsible for making college cost so much, because all did it in sync. Like a firing squad.

      @paulg believe the theory is a supply demand shift due to start of Gen X.

      @stevesi How can e.g. Harvard as an institution feel the difference between a demand/supply ratio of 10 and one of 15?

          @paulg Admission rates are now 1/2 to 1/3rd what they were in 1980 at elite schools. ==> charge more to attend (though use fin aid more too)

          @gabrieljfishman @paulg Many universities claimed non-linear expenses wrt to growth. Selective school class size hasn't grown (supply!)
