I get their logic of basing it off what they could be paid private side

Then you get it. They pay what they need to in order to get the talent they need for the course. Business school is often more expensive than other disciplines because of the high salaries needed to attract talent and businesses schools get a lot of sponsors, so the school is being compensated for the high salaries.

In short, it's supply and demand. It's a lot cheaper to find a PhD in genetics vs a PhD in business who is willing to work at a university.
