Part of the reason they were much cheaper in the past is that government funding per student was higher in the past. When I went to college government funded around 2/3 the cost of my education. Tuition covered 1/3. This is no longer the case. There are other reasons for the increase cost in higher education but none of those reasons are faculty salaries.

Educational funding from the Govt to public schools has drastically decreased over the last decade causing schools to cancel classes and let go people. There's not much to do in terms of increasing revenue but to increase tuition, increase enrollment and such,.
