I find it difficult to believe that the increase in university costs is significantly driven by increases in labor cost for the jobs actually related to delivering a university education. If anything I suspect there have been a significant decrease in the number of university employee-hours per student-credit-hour.

I'm not sure why it's difficult to believe. Universities are more than just faculty. In the past few decades, universities have become full service institutions that provide more than just education and have added an army of counselors and administrators.
