“We’re an industry whose primary value is prestige. And in part you get prestige by who you attract — what are the SAT scores of your incoming students,” said Richard Moore, a professor of management at California State University, Northridge, who has collected 15 years of data about where graduates of seven Cal State campuses ended up, to create a soon-to-debut public website showing how they did. “The game is set up around prestige. It’s not about effectiveness.”
