Multi-decade shifts are reported separately in the Long Arc section, since 25-year tuition drift isn't really an anomaly.

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Southwest Institute of Healing Arts graduates earn $X” — not “Southwest Institute of Healing Arts makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Southwest Institute of Healing Arts caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
