Graduation Completion Rates

Hey gang,

This article comes from an AP wire out of New York, but it was printed in the Portland State University's "Vanguard" paper (the school I'm attending to complete my degree through Excelsior).

Its about the statistical analysis of students who complete their degrees, and looks at what educators think may be some of the issues surrounding those dynamics. Personally, (and this is never addressed in the article, so you kinda wonder what they think the solution might be), there are a number of things educators can do, and when I say educators I mean the schools themselves. If schools would quit adding on courses, and keep credit and other costs down - just the tip of the issues in my mind...we might not need this article in the first place. But thats just me....
