Disclosure

The Chronicle has received Gates Foundation money to support two Web sites. Read More.

The Chronicle has received two contracts totaling about $850,000 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support work on two stand-alone Web sites: College Completion and College Reality Check.

College Completion, which The Chronicle started in March 2012, allows users to explore graduation data for 3,800 institutions by race, gender, or over time. The site allows users to see how a college’s graduation metrics compare with others in its sector or with ones that users select. The site may be found at collegecompletion.chronicle.com.

The Chronicle has received two contracts totaling about $850,000 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support work on two stand-alone Web sites: College Completion and College Reality Check.

College Completion, which The Chronicle started in March 2012, allows users to explore graduation data for 3,800 institutions by race, gender, or over time. The site allows users to see how a college’s graduation metrics compare with others in its sector or with ones that users select. The site may be found at collegecompletion.chronicle.com.

The second Gates-supported project, College Reality Check, is an interactive tool designed to help students and parents make more-informed choices about their financial commitment to college. Begun in April, the site draws together information including net price, average student debt, graduation rates, and average starting salaries of graduates of different colleges, all publicly available information not previously compiled on one site. This site may be found at collegerealitycheck.com.

Each of these projects was completed under a contractual agreement between The Chronicle and the foundation; neither amount is included in Gates’s grant-making budget for higher education or media projects.

Michael G. Riley, chief executive and editor in chief of The Chronicle, says the Web sites help fulfill its mission of providing essential information about higher education in new and compelling ways. He says the foundation had no role in the editorial content of either site or in any decisions made by Chronicle editors. —The Editors
