[SiouxVolley]

"Colleges submit "comparison groups" to the U.S. Education Department each year for data analysis, effectively revealing which institutions they see as their peers. The Chronicle analyzed the connections among 1,595 four-year colleges and found that they tend to select aspirational peers."
