Seems the main problem here is the high tuition fees, which to some degree give the students the impression that they deserve good service for which they have paid.
Coming from a country where most of university is state funded (minus a nominal fee of about 300€ per semester), I can see that I might have had other expectations of my professors had I paid ten thousands of dollars per year.

Additionally, while I do not know in which country you reside, generally countries who fully subsidize higher education have much more stringent requirements to entry, allowing only those who are completely serious about receiving an education access.
In America, if you are willing to pony up the cash, you're pretty much guaranteed a spot. Combine that with the common idea that you will not be able to find a job without a degree and you end up with a lot of people who aren't really in it for an education, but feel like they have to be there anyway.
