BAD NEWS AND GOOD NEWS "For decades now, colleges have focused their attention on increasing minority enrollment. But what happens once those students arrive on campus? A report this week from Education Sector, an independent think tank, finds that many colleges and universities are graduating their black students at rates that are significantly lower than those of their white students. The report also shows that some colleges that have worked to close the gap have been able to boost their graduation rate for black students—in some cases, high enough to surpass that of white students."

I am inclined to say that a school that does not have a graduation rate of at least 50% (or if that is too harsh, 40%) should be restructured or shut down. What is the point of an institution of education that fails to educate.
