"Earlier today, the Education Department updated the earnings data on the College Scorecard -- and in the process, deleted some valuable detail off the consumer website designed to help students and families make informed choices about where to go to college."
"For starters, the Department got rid of the contextual information included for some key metrics: net price, graduation rates, repayment rates, and typical earnings. Before this change, the Scorecard visually showed whether a college’s costs and outcomes were higher or lower than the national median on that metric -- a quick heuristic to help students gauge the school’s outcome on that metric is good or bad. It also listed a college as “above average,” “about average,” or “below average” to indicate which third the school fell under."
