would be pretty easy: End federally subsidized/backed student loans.
The more money the government lets you borrow, the higher the schools raise their tuition, necessitating the government allow you to borrow more money, allowing the schools to raise their tuition higher. Its a never-ending cycle.
A federally-mandated "cap" on tuition rates would just guarantee EVERY school raised their tuition the maximum-allowed amount every year, so that's just another trap.
You want to borrow money to go to "higher education"? Plead your case to a bank, and explain how your intended degree will allow you to get a job that will afford you the ability to pay back the loan.
Once the fire-hydrant of easy money is cut off, the institutions will shrivel up.

Same reason why medical costs are high, Medicare and Medicaid.
