I would put a good chunk of the blame on the bureaucratic nature of most universities. I've been in a position where I had to work directly with administrative figures, and most of them have conflicting views on everything, and it's hard to get a straight answer from two people within the same department. There is just so much going on, both that's visible and essentially "backdoor" politics and dealing that it would make your head spin. It's possible to move out of poverty and all of that, but very difficult.
