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