đź“ś Disclaimer & Terms of Use
Welcome to UniversityDeathpool.com, a data-driven research project exploring the fiscal and academic health of private universities across the United States. Before you dive too deep into percentile charts, survival tiers, and doom-colored maps, here’s the fine print:
🔍 For Informational Purposes Only
The content on this site is provided for informational and academic research purposes only. It is not intended as legal, financial, or enrollment advice. You should not rely on our data visualizations or scoring models for making personal, business, or institutional decisions.
đź“Š About Our Data
All data used in this project comes from publicly available sources, including:
- The U.S. Department of Education’s IPEDS database
- IRS Form 990 filings
- U.S. Census Bureau datasets
- Institutional websites and accreditation records
We attempt to present this data as accurately as possible, but we do not guarantee its completeness, accuracy, or timeliness. Our projections and indexes (like the Collegiate Survivability Index and Academic Quality Index) are based on algorithms, weightings, and methodologies developed for research—not for predictions with legal or financial consequence.
⚠️ Interpret With Caution
A “critical” label doesn’t mean a university is closing, and a “strong” rating isn’t a survival guarantee. These are relative percentile rankings, not absolute verdicts. They reflect trends in public data—not internal budgets, board decisions, or divine intervention.
🛡️ Legal Protection
The creators of UniversityDeathpool.com assume no responsibility or liability for:
- Financial or strategic decisions made based on this site
- Institutional or public reactions to map placements
- Perceived reputational harm
Use of this site implies your agreement to these terms. If you disagree, we kindly suggest closing your browser tab and enjoying some herbal tea instead.
đź’¬ Corrections & Contact
We are educators, not antagonists. If you see something inaccurate, reach out at james_long@friends.edu. We welcome respectful dialogue and credible data corrections.
Until then—analyze responsibly, explore curiously, and please don’t send lawyers. Send charts.
