Wow, great link.  And some pretty outrageous statistics:

Percent spent on Instruction:
Private for-profit: 27%
Private non-profit: 39%
Public:             34%

Percent spent on Academic support, student services, institutional
support (aka general admin):
Private for-profit: 68%
Private non-profit: 40%
Public:             28%

Seems like the public can demand a better deal if they push.  A lot of
casual admins living off tuition payments.
