    Nah, that particular part of it is because of:

    • Maintaining college’s role as a personal economics gatekeeper, keeping the poor and unprivileged away from the good jobs.

    • Administrators deciding that administration needs more money, causing incredible levels of administrative bloat.

    • To some degree, financial aid (both scholarships and subsidized loans) enables increased prices because it allows them to increase prices more without affecting demand as much as it otherwise would.
