ANOMALY ENGINE · NOTABLE SIGNALS
What the data flags at Lehigh Career & Technical Institute
Short-arc shifts (recent 3-year window), peer outliers, earnings trend breaks, completion drops, enrollment cliffs, and debt-to-earnings warnings — surfaced deterministically from the federal record. Multi-decade shifts are reported separately in the Long Arc section, since 25-year tuition drift isn't really an anomaly.

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Lehigh Career & Technical Institute graduates earn $X” — not “Lehigh Career & Technical Institute makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Lehigh Career & Technical Institute 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.
