How A For-Profit College Created Fake Jobs To Get Taxpayer Money

[exboyfil]

7. I did list two rural mostly white

colleges. The top two, SUNO and UDC, were one and two for lowest graduation rates on a list which I looked at. I agree that there are societal reasons in play as well, but a 11% graduation rate is doing no one any good. SUNO and UDC are Masters granting institutions and cannot be viewed as a B.S. feeder unlike many others on the list (Kent State, Ohio University, and Purdue feeders).

"We come now to a most disappointing set of statistics. The graduation rate of African-American students at the nation's historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) tends to be much lower than the graduation rate for black students at the nation's highest-ranked institutions. Yet the graduation rate at a significant number of HBCUs is well above the nationwide average for black student graduations, which, as stated earlier, currently stands at an extremely low rate of 42 percent."

The JBHE recognizes that there is a problem. I am open to suggestions on solutions. I just think targeting only the for profits without addressing the publics is the wrong approach (and this leaves out the whole discussion of community colleges which I mostly view as a check the box based upon my daughter's experience with them in Iowa).
