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