I think it might be a slightly wasteful system. I haven't dug deep but this article seems to hint that it's not all to pay better teachers. E.g:

A study found that the California State University system had 11,614 full-time faculty in 1973, and 12,019 in 2008. During that same time period, administrators grew from 3,800 to 12,183, ending up with more administrators than faculty.

I learnt lots at university, and that has been useful at work, but the degree itself doesn't seem to matter much. But I'm in tech, and Europe, and university was publicly funded

American universities keep raising the prices and people keep paying. There's no reason for it to cost that much, beyond profits

There's a lot of good books written by awful people. I guess Gaiman might be one of those awful people
