AEI Event: "Diplomas and Dropouts: Which Colleges Actually Graduate Their Students (and Which Don't)" June 3, 2009 http://www.aei.org/event/100065
A new AEI report, Diplomas and Dropouts: Which Colleges Actually Graduate Their Students (and Which Don't), by Frederick M. Hess, AEI's director of education policy studies; Mark Schneider, a visiting scholar at AEI and vice president of the American Institutes for Research; Kevin Carey, policy director of Education Sector; and AEI research fellow Andrew P. Kelly spotlights the dramatic variation in graduation rates across 1,300 of the nations colleges and universities. Using data from the National Center for Education Statistics, the report's authors examine graduation rates across schools with similar levels of admissions selectivity, as denoted in the widely used Barron's Profiles of American Colleges. The substantial differences found between colleges and universities within the same selectivity category strongly suggest that institutional practice, not just student quality, influences completion rates.
