That's because the government is footing the bill for a large number of those
`going' on student loans.

Any time you get the government (make that read `taxpayers') paying out money
to fund something...outfits are gonna milk it for everything they can get.

My anger gets raised whenever I see some high-falutin professor or in
industrialist get in front of  microphone and start off by saying how honest
and upright their `opponent' or competitor `ought' to be...and then without
batting an eye start talking about how `costs' are going up so their prices or
tuition is going up as well! 

A good example of that was the `$600 ash trays they were installing in jet
aircraft built for the military. That would have made me, as a congressman
on a military purchasing committee, demand a close scrutiny of any and all
government contracts set up for the military. They probably never did. Or if
the did it was quickly glossed over because the `taxpayer' is the biggest 
cash cow in the nation!
