CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“Inter American University of Puerto Rico-Barranquitas graduates earn $X” — not “Inter American University of Puerto Rico-Barranquitas makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Inter American University of Puerto Rico-Barranquitas 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.
