IPEDS Peer Analysis System
The IPEDS Peer Analysis System (PAS) allows a user to build a comparison list of colleges and/or universities and compare them to a linchpin school. This data is downloadable into various formats. Information that can be retrieved in this manner include:
- Institutional characteristics and student charges
- Enrollments
- Completions
- Graduation rates
- Student financial aAid
- Finance
- Faculty salaries
- Fall staff
- Employees by assigned position
A similar tool called the Dataset Cutting Tool (DCT) is available on the same page as the PAS. Both tools allow for similar actions but they do so using different methods.

“The Peer now spreads the glitt’ring Forfex wide,
T’inclose the Lock; now joins it, to divide.”

“Ask anyone committed to Marxist analysis how many angels on the head of a pin, and you will be asked in return to never mind the angels, tell me who controls the production of pins.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
“[Madness] is the jail we could all end up in. And we know it. And watch our step. For a lifetime. We behave. A fantastic and entire system of social control, by the threat of example as effective over the general population as detention centers in dictatorships, the image of the madhouse floats through every mind for the course of its lifetime.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
