Also there was a study sometime ago looking at the cost increases of higher ed over recent years. It seems that there have been more and more program/mid-tier administrators added to higher ed payrolls, many with substantial salaries. If you're looking for fat to trim, you might start there.
Stanford recently gave up on expanding the undergraduate class sizes. Palo Alto and Santa Clara County made it impossible to get through the environmental impact hurdles.
