This one is from the Midwest higher education org but several Federal reserve Bank studies have found the same 
Rising college cost is driven substantially 
by three economy-wide forces: (1) Lagging 
productivity growth is endemic to personal 
service industries, so service prices rise faster 
than goods prices. This is called “cost disease;” 
(2) The higher education workforce is highly 
educated and the cost of hiring highly educated 
workers has risen sharply since 1981; and (3) A 
college’s mission and market require it to meet 
a rising standard of educational care. More than 
any potential dysfunction on campus, these 
three factors have led to rising real costs. 
u Administrative “bloat” and amenity competitions 
grab headlines but do not account for much of 
the rising cost. Rising numbers of professional 
staff and improved amenities are not inherently 
inefficient.
