This is basically just a rehash of IPEDS data that is widely available elsewhere, but it is interesting to look at some of their charts. The graduation rates at some of these schools are shockingly bad. A 6-year graduation rate of 8% at Colorado Christian University, rated "very competitive" in admissions? Are you kidding me? Why would anyone even bother, with that kind of track record? I don't think any state recognizes a tort of educational malpractice, but maybe it's time to consider one.

Even some schools highly touted on CC have disturbingly low graduation rates. Here are a few:

New College of Florida 56%
St. John's (NM) 56%
Hendrix 66%
Northeastern U 66%
Goucher 67%
St. John's (MD) 71%
Knox 72%
Rhodes 73%
Tulane 76%
Reed 76%
U of Miami 76%
Bard 76%
George Washington U 78%
Kalamazoo 78%
