The recent rise in the cost of a college education bears very little relation to anything other than the fact that they can.
35 or so years ago I got a BS at a cost of $12/ credit hour, and a Masters at $17/ hr.
I refused to pay for a second Bachelor's at John's Hopkins because they wanted about $45/ hr.

Pure inflation does not get you from those numbers to today's costs; neither does the cost of the modern technology. The profs, and TAs certainly don'y get it. Maybe its the administration that is vastly overpaid.
