- outcomes.startingSalary: Mean starting salary for the Class of 2025, disclosed directly on the program's own page (which still references "UD HRIM Students," confirming this major is HRIM's direct successor). Up from a mean of $56,384 for the Class of 2024 — a consistent upward trend, not a conflicting figure.
- outcomes.employmentRate: Share of Class of 2025 graduates employed or pursuing further education within 6 months of graduation, program-specific. The Class of 2024 figure was 91%, so this reflects a one-year improvement, not a discrepancy.
