There's only one thing the government needs to do to solve the problem with higher education: void student loan guarantees and make banks eat defaults. Tuitions would crash and all those useless administrators would be toast.

I agree with Branson’s comment. There needs to be some pain for the University’s coming from their major source of funding, the US Government. They are not going to suddenly find religion and change their ways.

Sadly, the revolving door reaches through government and academia. Put some time in as an administrator, then roll in to government work for a few years before moving on to the real money.
