We also told everyone that they needed to go to college which is ridiculous so a lot higher percentage of students attend 4 year universities now.

They also work in an industry which the government is heavily subsidizing. Industries will grow to be able to suck those government dollars up. So if you couldn't figure this out for yourself, you're welcome. Now that I've explained it, do you see it? If not, go post elsewhere.

Are they claiming that?
Everything in the university system is bloated.
Professors make BANK. Get sabbaticals. Get a cushy schedule. Get actual tenure (makes what K12 teachers get look amateur).
Universities are constantly investing in infrastructure. They can claim it’s for recruitment purposes, but I think a lot of it is spending money just to spend money.
Way too many administrators and committees.
My advisor at Auburn made $250k/year and took an all expenses paid trip to Europe every year for “research.” This wasn’t a week trip. This was like 6 weeks. Had a 2/1 teaching load. Was tenured and published every few years.
And it’s absolutely all because students are given loans for college degrees like it’s free candy.
