I mean... it is expensive and the administration DO want your money.

But the professors? They want to do research and/or teach.

US universities are typically expensive on and off line.

Teaching yourself can be free, but if you want the full resources of a university, you're going to pay.

Most of the professors really don't care about the money though. (Not exclusively but) ESPECIALLY the US born professors in business and STEM could be making fistfulls of cash elsewhere but choose to stay in academia to teach and research.
