Why is a tribal college separate from two- and 4-year colleges?
Isn’t this just a percentage?
It’s too bad there’s no easier way to explain how many colleges out of a hundred share a characteristic.
Maybe if you said “per hundred” it would work.
And instead of “would be X” you could use some sort of universally recognized symbol. But hey, I’m a dreamer. What do I know.
If Higher Ed *were* 100 colleges
you’d have ~155K students per-college. so triple the largest land-grant schools like Texas and Ohio State, etc. I’m guessing class-size would be in the hundreds even for upper-levels, unless you did online classes (and then what’s the point of going to 100?)
What’s HBCU? I know I can google it but I shouldn’t have to.
If each college had 100 professors, on average:
92 of 100 would be Democrats
8 of 100 would be Republican
This must be a US thing? I don’t think there’s many HBCUs in the world as a whole.
I’m guessing this is just the US?
18% of American colleges are for-profit institutions? Damn. I thought it was like, 2%.
What is “degree-granting institutions” capturing here? Would things like catering colleges be part of this here?

There are nearly 4,000 degree-granting colleges in America; public, private, and nonprofit institutions; large, small, and in-between ones; and residential and commuter campuses. It’s a lot of options. So what if we looked at 100 instead?

The private colleges aren’t for profit?
