Obviously, the high cost of attendance today isn’t mainly the effect of general inflation. It likely largely reflects real increases in expenses for faculty salaries, classrooms, facilities and technology, and other services.

Also, increased number of non-faculty staff for expected auxiliary services and the like that are expected now, as well as non-salary costs of employment (particularly medical insurance) for regular (non-adjunct/contractor) faculty and staff.
