<p>To track academic outcomes like that, it would appear that data must be collected at the individual student level (which we know the Clearinghouse does for its original purpose of tracking students who transfer to other colleges). But it could be possible to produce reports about aggregate data like that, I think, while still following industry-standard practices as to data privacy, so that no individual student records are revealed to persons who have no legitimate need to see them. I don’t know what the actual data privacy protection practices are of this organization, but I’m glad they are gathering their data and reporting interesting findings like that.</p>
