Who is included in borrowers? Graduates, current students, and drop outs? If so, the number includes a lot of non graduates. By the time they graduate how much do they owe?

So true. Class sizes have increased, but faculty numbers and faculty salaries have stayed constant for 20 years. Administrators, on the other hand, have seen exponential increases in numbers and salaries.

Not to mention but state colleges and universities are subsidized by taxpayers. Their costs keep going up too.

Having been "fortunate" to work with academics, I'm not sure the salaries for administrators are out of line...
