U of Chicago has the distinction of being the first school to boast tuition/fees/room & board over $100,000 annually and that was 5 to 6 years before covid.

I remember reading the article and one hook for students was the elite level, top of the line, concierge housing...

The founding of the federal department of education and all the largess showered by it on academia, without financial accountability, aided and abetted the extravagance and outright wasteful spending at colleges with unchecked tuition increases and met with more and more federal subsidies to schools and students to pay for it all.

“Aid to education” at the college level was really and truly NOT as much about “education” as it was about subsidizing the arrogant, extravagant and elitist education industrial complex. The colleges lobbied their friends in Congress to keep pushing for more college and student subsidies not “for the students benefit” but to just help the colleges keep from having to operate economical, efficient and financially sound institutions; not to worry, “Congress will support the students” and keep upping the aid for the unaccountable tuition increases.

The above woes pale in comparison to their biggest problem, viz. they are graduating "students" who are woefully inadequate in math and science and can barely read.

But they sure know about fag sex! Cause they took classes on it!
