New College of Florida is owned by the state university system but treated as a private school. The tuition is something like three times the tuition at other state universities. Noting the extremely liberal student body, the Florida Times-Union questioned “why does it cost three times as much to educate a liberal as it costs to educate everyone else?”

“why does it cost three times as much to educate a liberal as it costs
to educate everyone else?”

To some degree...
Because we haven't yet tripled the interest rate on student loans
for liberal-arts credit hours!!!

Uh, because they're stupid and are willing to PAY that much?
