I'm not sure the linked data is correct. The charts from the 2012 SHEEO report [1] shows revenue/student increasing from $10,869 in 1991 to $11,095 in 2012 (these are 2012 dollars).

Here is the page with links to the 2012 report and data: http://www.sheeo.org/node/631

I think you're right, something's wrong with my source.

I'm not sure the SHEEO number's usable "raw", as it uses its own ad-hoc inflation calculation (HECA) instead of CPI or GDP, but even correcting for that I can't reproduce the numbers in the NCHEMS site from its supposed source.
