All data like this are based on self reported survey data. I think there could be a bigger skew due to universities reporting on themselves- in my job, we always take anything anybody reports on themselves with a grain of salt. I like tha this study gives a broad perspective and allows you to compare across universities - then if you are interested you can dig into any particular college in more detail and compare the income data for particular schools.

I do get the point that the data do reflect the student body each college attracts and not just the academics. And the point about grad school graduates not being included. But I still think this data is worth looking at. (In my opinion it has more behind it than some of what is stated here on CC.)
