[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all sound like a bunch of Trump conspiracy theory lunatics.  Schools are required to report data like retention rates to the federal government for various programs under penalty of law.  US News and other rating organizations audit what’s reported to them through these reports.  You can’t just make the stuff up.  Why do you think schools report making mistakes?  They know they’re going to get caught.

Sometimes I wonder about the level of education and sophistication on DCUM. [/quote]

And yet, colleges submitting bad data to USNWR: Real News this week that 8 more colleges admitted to submitting incorrect data

And that’s flat out wrong data.  Not choosing to count students this day and not that day or encouraging apps from unqualified students to inflate data.

And, not all of the USNWR data is also collected by the federal government.

Even federal data is self-reported and there are different ways to calculate it.  National Center for Education Statistics (IPEDS) is the usual source for resources and there is a lot of variation.  Yale for instance has something like 2X the "Instruction" expenditure of Harvard and Princeton.  Is that really true?[/quote][/quote]
