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

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

California Institute of Integral Studies graduates earn $X” — not “California Institute of Integral Studies makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending California Institute of Integral Studies 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.
