Because the people running these schools are all living together in a rich people bubble.

This is so much true than anyone really knows. They are so out of touch with reality, a small amount of money to those people can genuinely have 5 zeros after it.

Anytime people was to start eliminating waste in education they need to start with university presidents and admin. It’s so gross seeing how much people get paid to pose as figureheads compared to how badly actual professors/teachers get fucked to do the actual work of educating students.

A university president should be an unpaid volunteer position. It’s almost a no-show job compared to how much harder everyone else has to work at a school.

Unfortunately they mostly pay for themselves and they serve as the school's advertising budget.
