Three reasons tuition is rising

Research universities are spending too much. Even the record-high tuition cannot make up the volume of spending.

For many public universities, they rise tuition to shift cost because their support from state and local government has been shrinking. Community colleges have to keep cutting spending despite rise of tuition.

For non-research schools like liberal and arts colleges, their spending is increasing, yet their tuition is increasing more because they have to compensate for decline of donation and make up the new spending.
