What the data flags at Indiana University-Kokomo

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

How earnings spread, 4 to 10 years after entry
Treasury tax-record earnings for federally aided students who first enrolled at this institution. Each point is a horizon from the most-recent vintage. Single median per horizon (no p25/p75 publishing).
Earnings widen with time post-entry. Selection: federal-aid recipients only — not all graduates.Methodology →
SECTION 03 · DEBT-TO-EARNINGS
What loans cost relative to earnings
Annual debt service as a share of median earnings 10 years after entry, computed under federal Direct loan terms (10-year fixed at 6%). The 8% line is the gainful-employment threshold from federal regulation; above 12% has historically been considered “failing” under prior rule cycles.

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