Tuition increases, say officials, are driven by the universities costs, consequently, tuition income typically covers less than 50% of college budgets

Explanation

The word "consequently" is used incorrectly here. "Consequently" implies a cause-and-effect relationship, but in this context, it seems to indicate an additional point. The corrected sentence is: Tuition increases, say officials, are driven by the universities' costs; therefore, tuition income typically covers less than 50% of college budgets.
