Not saying shenanigans aren’t going on, but one thing that always gets left out of these posts is how much more it cost to operate a college than 40 years ago. IT infrastructure is stupid expensive to build and maintain.

But IT infrastructure spending effects all industries including those not tripling their costs. In other words, it’s already factored in.

It was a single example, not an exhaustive list. And I clearly said it’s not the full reason. At most schools IT accounts for 5-7% of their operating costs. I just would like to see the rise in operating costs included in a breakdown like this to really see a full picture.
