Paging Dean Yellen of Loyola-Chicago

So today we have a refreshing note in that ABA President Stephen Zack has publicly noted that there is a problem with disclosure and that 100k in debt is hard to pay back with a 60k salary.

I do, however, find this part curious:

David N. Yellen, dean of Loyola University Chicago School of Law and chair of the ABA subcommittee that considers what consumer information law schools should be required to report, tells the Law Bulletin that law schools need to be more transparent about job prospects.

"I believe the time has come to mandate that law schools publicly disclose more information about job outcomes," Yellen is quoted saying.

Okay, Dean Yellen, explain this, from your "2010-11 Loyola Fact Sheet":

So... you had survey responses from 100% of your graduates, but 47% omitted their salary information and you still felt it conscionable to advertise that the median salary for "ALL GRADUATES" was $100,000? Seriously? Did you factor in that 9% of students who were unemployed at 9 months as people making $0.00, or were they "unreported?"

And what about this:

If you're going to use pie charts, isn't it disingenuous -if we're talking about "job outcomes" - to omit the 9% of unemployed students? Isn't it disingenuous to publish a "private practice" chart that only advertises 1.5% in solo practice since many in that 9% unemployed group are, by default, now private practitioners?

A casual glance at these charts would make one think 13% of Loyola graduates went into 501+-attorney firms, also known as BigLaw, who pay those mythical $160k salaries. On the contrary, 13% of 51% of 91% (also known as around 6%) went into BigLaw. At least at my law school, justified or not, there is a rather large drop in student quality and job prospects between the 94th percentile and the 87th.

So Dean Yellen, if the time has come to disclose more information (side note: if it's the right thing to do, why was it not the right thing to do 5 years ago?), why are Loyola's most recent statistics so manipulative?
