The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 24, 2002 - 7A Tuition study ranked " 111 schools incorrectly A study that found hundreds of colleges were difficult for low-income families to afford misclassified 111 schools, the foundation that produced the study disclosed yesterday. Eighty-two of the mislabeled schools should have been rated as more affordable by the Lumina Foundation for Education, while 29 were actually less affordable, the foundation said. "The report's overall conclusions are the same," said Sara Murray-Plumer, spokeswoman for the Indianapolis- based private foundation, which released the study Jan. 7. "We certainly regret the errors and sincerely apologize for these mistakes." Lumina was correcting the report on its Web site, noti- fying affected schools and sending a corrected list to anyone who received the original report in book form, Murray-Plumer said. The foundation blamed the mistakes on clerical error. All told, nearly 3,000 two- and four-year schools were rated in some 11,000 categories, Murray-Plumer said. The study used 1998 federal statistics on income, enrollment and financial aid, among other factors. It looked at four income groups: low- and median-income students still dependent on parents' income, and inde- pendent students ages 25-34 with low or median incomes. Higher-education groups attacked the study when it was released, calling its methods and assumptions flawed. They said that with 15 million people in Ameri- can colleges, reality contradicts the survey's conclusion that many colleges are unaffordable. Terry Hartle, vice president of the American Council on Education, said Wednesday that the foundation deserved credit for admitting its mistakes but added that he still disagreed with the report's conclusions. The errors came to light when the Southwest Daily Times of Liberal, Kan., asked Lumina for the figures it used to rate a local community college as out of reach for students ages 18-23 from low-income and median- income families, Murray-Plumer said. Lumina researchers rechecked their results and discov- ered the college should have been listed as affordable. They then reviewed results for all of the schools and dis- covered similar errors. FEAGIN Continued from Page 1A Courant added that he plans to stay at the University and has not heard any speculation that other administrators may be stepping down. Feagin was recruited by Bollinger in 1998. She is the first administrative appointment made by Bollinger at Columbia. "Susan Feagin is the best at what she does," said Bollinger in a press release yesterday. "She also is a person of great ded- ication to Columbia and an extraordinarily good person to work with. I am delighted that she is returning." Feagin helped to increase the University's endowments by 4 percent last year, when many of the nation's top universities, including Columbia, saw nearly no growth. Interim President B. Joseph White said in a written statement that Vice President for Government Relations Cynthia Wilbanks will serve as interim vice president for development while maintaining her current position until a permanent president can appoint the next vice presi- dent for development. "This team is working with deans and other senior administrators to connect the University with donors and friends all over the world. Susan's contributions have been substantial, and I wish her the very best in her new role," White said. Columbia spokesman Virgil Renzulli said Feagin will be filling a position left vacant by the former vice presi- dent of development and alumni relations who recently retired. "She's got an outstanding background and I know Lee Bollinger thinks extremely highly of her," said Renzulli. "I think she is just an absolute delight." Feagin graduated from Columbia in 1974 and returned in 1982 as campaign director for Arts and Sciences. Over the years she has maintained close ties to Columbia through its General Studies Advisory Council. The University "is a remarkable place with many col- leagues in important leadership positions. I am very confi- dent about Michigan's future," Feagin said. the michigan daily IF YOU LIKE THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, this job is for you!
