The Association starts with a pretty simple objective which is to revitalize the US Higher Ed. Its first published article was written on March 13, 2013. Today, on November 24, 2018 at around 10am, the 1 millionth magic number is reached. There got to be clear reasons why the public keep coming back and spent time to read the articles written in the Blog. It is not just a simple article, but it contained new ideas, logical thoughts surrounded education analytics, higher ed, and student loans. AAEA is independent, honest, unbiased, and always used data in its analyses. The Association does not side with anyone, except the truth alone. DOE starts publishing the financially troubled colleges, universities and other types of education entities only after the Association has done it first.
