Complete College America Report Examines Low Higher Ed Graduation Rates: A new, comprehensive report on college graduation rates released Tuesday revealed why college completion rates, including analyses of Black, Hispanic, Pell Grant and part-time students, are low among American students.
One of the key findings in “Time is the Enemy: The Surprising Truth About Why Today’s College Students Aren’t Graduating … AND WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE” is that “students who are poor, older or of color struggle the most to graduate,” according to Complete College America, the nonprofit that produced the report.
“I think college is not structured in a way to have these students be successful,” said Stan Jones, president of Complete College America and a former Indiana education commissioner.
