> access to higher education, or else saddled them and their families with enormous and in many cases life-altering 
> debt. There has been much speculation as to the causes of these increases. My experience dealing with colleges and 
> universities during the half-century (so far) of my legal career has told me a large part of the reason – the massive 
> growth in campus bureaucracies (especially in the student life sector) that, from my vantage point, do very little 
> other than “make work.” And, in fact, the growing army of bureaucrats actually cause more problems than they solve. 
> They diminish, rather than increase, the quality of higher education. (This is a topic to which I plan to return in 
> future writings. For now, here is my take on the sheer numbers at issue.)
