[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always wondered how the NYT purported to know income of all students (not just federal aid recipients) if they don't have aid.  How did they get income information and link it to a school?[/quote]

Still waiting for a link to this.  [/quote]

From the article-

The researchers tracked about 30 million students born between 1980 and 1991, linking anonymized tax returns to attendance records from nearly every college in the country.[/quote]

Why can't you simply provide a link?  Do you know how to do this?[/quote]

DP.  I think they are referencing the Chetty College Mobility project published by the New York Times.  See below. This was probably influential in causing USNWR to change their rating criteria to include mobility (factor % of Pell Grant recipients and first generation).  USNWR also removed or lowered the weighting of criteria that otherwise disadvantaged a number of large public schools that had higher percentage of Pell Grant recipients, including student-faculty ratio, alumni giving, etc.
