You're not really refuting the article's point, and you're not making a very good argument that school administrators are committing control fraud. Where is the evidence for control fraud?

The article makes a good point, IMO. Schools can pay "big fat administrator salaries" because students have practically unlimited access to money via student loans. Give everybody a 10% raise, and tell students to take out 10% more loans. If the student can't pay the loans then it's not the school's problem, but maybe it should be.

What do you think control fraud is?

It is not just giving your deans a big loan to buy a house and the forgiving it. It includes paying yourself excessively.

If someone is stealing from you, the answer is not to make them share the risk.
