CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“University of Arkansas at Monticello graduates earn $X” — not “University of Arkansas at Monticello makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending University of Arkansas at Monticello 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.
