GRADUATING DIFFERENCES: New "microsite" from The Chronicle of Higher Education on college completion rates at nearly 3,800 higher-ed institutions (public, private and for-profits), funded by the Gates Foundation. Clean graphics mean that sifting through a pile of data on graduation rates is pretty painless. There is an incredible array of filters for drilling into these numbers as well as options that enable you to compare how colleges stack up against one another on such metrics as type, region and so on. Check out a video tour of the site here.
