College Scorecard: With victories like these, who needs failures?

By Phil Hill. Posted on August 24, 2016

The Department of Education’s new tool for evaluating colleges is…uh…not so great.

College Scorecard: ED quietly adds in 700 missing colleges

By Phil Hill. Posted on February 6, 2016

It’s worth giving credit where credit is due, and the US Department of Education (ED) has fixed a problem that Russ Poulin and I pointed out where they had previously left ~700 colleges out of the College Scorecard.

By Phil Hill. Posted on September 14, 2015

Russ Poulin at WCET has a handy summary of the new College Scorecard produced by the Education Department (ED) and the White House. This is a “first read” given the scorecard’s Friday release, but it is quite valuable since Russ participated on an ED Data Panel related to the now-abandoned Ratings System, the precursor to the […]
