Yep, the explosion of administration in colleges/universities since the early 80's is the massive problem.
What's interesting is some people recognized the oncoming issues in the 60's! Robert Persig notes it, albeit somewhat obliquely, in his book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".
We need to see some new educational competitors out there. When you can get the education for a fraction of what these government-secured organizations charge, then we'll see change.
