According to the Social Mobility Index (SMI), when it comes to providing opportunities for underserved students, the wealthiest schools are not necessarily doing the best job. The SMI, a partnership of CollegeNET and PayScale, Inc., ranks US colleges and universities according to the number of lower-income students they help to enroll, graduate, and obtain well-paying jobs.
See where schools stand on the SMI at socialmobilityindex.org
The SMI ranks schools according to five variables:
Published tuition
Endowment
Percentage of student body from families below the US median income
Graduation rate of low-income students
Reported salary after graduation for low-income students
According to Lydia Frank, Editorial Director at PayScale, “The SMI rankings clearly show that colleges and universities can be part of improving both economic opportunity and social stability in our country. “A school can most dramatically move itself upward in the SMI rankings by lowering its tuition or increasing its percentage of economically disadvantaged students – or both.”

25Live API Restores Mad Love, Prevents Rioting at Loyola Law School!
Corinne St. Claire, Assistant Director of Instructional Design and Technology at Loyola Law School, was faced with a dilemma: Deliver a “grid” view for 25Live or face certain mutiny from users! Fortunately for her, 25Live’s robust API allowed her team to easily build the desired grid. In her words:
“I wanted to let you know that the API is great! As you know, one of our concerns was a lack of a “grid” view in 25Live, something R25 had and our users fell madly in love with. Thanks to your API, we were able to design our own “grid,” powered by 25Live, that will prevent rioting on our campus.:) So, thank you for having an API that is easy to work with!”
