It appears that the methodology used was to take every student earning a degree and just add their debt, so with more students, obviously there'll be more debt. The article mentions that the average debt carried by students is lower as is the default rate.

That said, thank God for my GA position with the tennis teams.

I like that the article presents plenty of statements from LU to highlight why this study is extremely flawed. Considering the source of the study leads me to believe that the intent of the study was to advance an agenda and not take a realistic hard look at graduate education costs and real student debt load.
