Under-Examined Higher Ed Data

Andrew Gillen:

The third capability of Education Sector's new Higher Ed Data Central that we would like to highlight is the ability to analyze under-examined data (see here and here for previous installments). While far from perfect data sources, Department of Education databases contain many hidden gems that get almost no attention.

For instance, the department used to collect the number of "Executive/administrative and managerial" university employees who make over $100,000. If we look at just private non-profit, four-year universities and put highly compensated employees in per-student terms, it is clear that some schools seem to have many more highly compensated administrators than others.
