From the Paper:

"In addition, most predictions note that costs as a private four-year institution could rise dramatically in the next few years, and it would seem unlikely colleges could make up a shortfall of great magnitude by increasing tuition and other student fees. Even now, there is resistance to increased student fees. In addition, it must be assumed that however well the endowments of some colleges might have done in the recent economic slowdown, certainly none could expect to beat the general trend of the market by much, so this, too, could be a factor in financial stress for institutions of higher learning."
