CAUSAL DISCIPLINE
“State University of New York at New Paltz graduates earn $X” — not “State University of New York at New Paltz makes you earn $X”
Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending State University of New York at New Paltz 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.
