@G01L2Kz-2esc, I am not sure about the data. It doesn't seem right that UoPX students would have median salaries significantly above the norm, including school like Penn State. The numbers do come from the College Scorecard (tax data from those who have student loans), so the problem would be in the limitations of the samples, not in any deliberate fraud. The report does mention that there are limitations of the numbers, but I believe there are additional limitations that are not apparent to me.
I think the disparity in salary data is (at least partly) due to the way the stats are dissected and the inclusion of UoP advance degrees. A student coming in with a bachelor's degree and leaving with a master's would likely see a salary bump (even with no change on employer) and Phoenix could chalk this up the UoP degree. A master's student coming out with a PhD or EdD would likely see an even bigger bump. Again, Phoenix could take credit—even if the student was previously educated at another college (State U) and the degree was just a requisite step in promotion. There is nothing wrong with this unless it is willfully comparing apples to oranges. I suspect it is.
Looking at the small print, it appears UoP utilizes the largest DoE database to make the national averages look as low as possible until they get to their piece of the chart (from Camden's attachments). I suspect 7000+ institutions in the national scorecard must include Joe's Typewriter Maintenance school.
If the DoE average numbers based on a huge student population (a number which looks to include every tech, art, maintenance, and restaurant training school) are compared to UoP graduates (to include those with advanced degrees) it is not surprise the salary numbers are significantly higher.
Again, I have not investigated the numbers to state this is an absolute fact, but I suspect such. This makes the deception even more dishonest. The way I see it, UoP is comparing the average of all UoP degrees (including advanced degrees) to “those from "2,081 institutions included in the Scorecard that award predominately four-year degrees.” Carefully examine the footnote on the UoP data--"The median earnings of former students at 10 years after attending the institution.” Notice the difference.
Finally, I think the statement that UoP degrees examined were "limited to those who received federal student aid" is a red herring since the broad definition of federal student aid includes more than just federal or state assistance, it also includes aid from the college itself.
Good article Camden, I agree. We were trained on how to explain the low graduation rate on the FAFSA when I was there...most students just get that first pell check disbursement and then leave.
