The New York Times, a former newspaper, pulled together some interesting data about income levels of the families of college students for every school across the US. It editorializes a bit (with the continued obsession with the arbitrary 1% distinctions), but it's useful info when it comes to understanding how we compare demographically with our peer Universities. They've pulled their data from some site *ironically* named "Equality of Opportunity."

Unsurprisingly, the top earners in the US are sending their kids to the same few schools. Some, however, go to public schools. A few even send theirs to Boonetown.

You can plug in whatever school you want. App is 391, with 1.7% of the Mountaineers coming from the top earners in America and 23.8% coming from families that make less that 65k a year. We're pretty middle class as I'm sure we all expected.

Here are a few others I plugged in:

151. University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 6.0 20.7
387. North Carolina State University 1.8 25.1
656. Georgia Southern University <1 33.4
745. University of North Carolina, Charlotte <1 37.8
878. Western Carolina University <1 37.6

Cool find. Interesting that NC State is only four schools ahead of us.

The Sun Belt:

391. Appalachian State University 1.7 23.8
535. Coastal Carolina University 1.7 40.2
552. Texas State University 1.3 34.6
656. Georgia Southern University <1 33.4
681. University of Louisiana at Lafayette <1 40.0
809. University of South Alabama <1 48.5
903. Georgia State University <1 52.9
978. University of Texas at Arlington <1 51.9
1,054. Troy University <1 52.0
1,209. University of Arkansas at Little Rock <1 56.4
1,436. University of Louisiana at Monroe <1 54.2
1,551. Arkansas State University <1 62.2

It is a good omen for the future of the Yosef Club.
