ATLANTA — The president of Emory University admitted on Friday that the school has intentionally misreported data about its students.
The university said discrepancies in data was confirmed after a three-month long investigation into the reporting of admissions-related data to external audiences such as reference sources and college rankings.
"As an institution that challenges itself, in the words of our vision statement, to be 'ethically engaged,' Emory has not been well served by representatives of the university in this history of misreporting. I am deeply disappointed," Emory President James Wagner said.
The investigation discovered that information has been misreported for more than a decade and that the Office of Admission and Institution Research participated in the misreporting.
Emory said its reported SAT/ACT scores for students were overstated, as well as the class rankings of its students.
