One of the reasons it's expensive is that it doesn't get cheaper with technology in its current form. Good professors rightly have a high and often rising salary and students and parents want small class sizes.

We also know that the gap in income between those with a higher education and those without is increasing significantly.

1 + 1 = 2

There's an unaccounted for correlation between the accessibility of higher education and general life opportunities.

I can't reply to the person that replied to my above comment so I'm doing it here.

My point was about the widening of the income gap, the correlation you speak of doesn't explain the widening of the gap.
