Explanation: Prior to 2002, we collected data that show receipt of four years of funding or graduation. As of 2002, we changed the definition of data collected to report only four-year graduation rates. Therefore, in 2002, there is a significant decline in the performance measure.   		Additional Source Information: Annual Performance Report
