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

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