Here's a gross oversimplification showing the possibility (not actuality) of something like this's occurrence.
1) Suppose the government sponsors $100 out of every student's $103 tuition.
2) Suppose that $3 of that $103 tuition goes towards the beaurocracy.
3) Suppose beaurocracy costs somehow increase to $9, from $3 (and that all other costs remain fixed).
Outcome: Student tuition is now $109, $100 of which is paid for by the government. The students' share of the tuition, however, has tripled from $3 to $9. I doubt the percentages work out anything like that in the real world, though.
And on an entirely unrelated note, a fun quote: "Bureaucracy expands to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy."
