Why College Tuition Keeps Increasing

In a world where the staff claims ownership rights, but where legally the operation is non-profit in nature and owned by a distant group of university trustees, key university officials gain little in the way of wealth, income or prestige by reducing costs or even improving the quality of the product. That is particularly true since third parties, especially government, pay many of the bills, and the public knows little about the outcomes and input usage of colleges because of a concerted effort on their part to not provide useful information to consumers, donors, and taxpayers.
