Dive Brief:

• A Flagler College administrator has resigned after an investigation showed exaggerated test scores, GPAs, and class rankings for incoming freshmen.
• The administrator said he noticed in 2010 that incoming freshmen had lower scores than in the years before, so he made the changes.
• The erroneous data pushed Flagler's ranking higher in U.S. News & World Report and the Princeton Review's college guide.

Dive Insight:

The investigation began last week after a faculty member noticed something amiss. Marc Williar had been the school's chief enrollment officer for more than 20 years. The school has hired a law firm to conduct a full investigation.
