Your graph does not support your contention of "bloated" university costs. It shows how much more students are paying to attend college.
Reality is that almost every state has cut funding for colleges and universities below the rate of inflation and population growth. One consequence of rising costs has been a drop in college enrollment numbers, which means those institutions which had spent money using past growth rates now don't have the students to either pay for or utilise the expanded facilities.
