I have thought this intuitively ever since these flawed metrics of 'graduate earnings' started floating around, so nice to see this confirmed by the data. I am however concerned about privacy issues. Have former students consented to the use of their data in this manner? Records have to be collected for taxation purposes but is it a breach of GDPR to run this kind of analysis? Stepping outside of the purpose for which the information was collected, methinks.
