New look at public university graduation rates
In Crossing the Finish Line, William Bowen examines graduation rates at public, 4-year universities in the U.S. Primarily an exercise in regression analysis on student attributes, the book proceeds from a startling fact: among universities in their sample, fewer than 60% of students who started college in 1999 ever earned a degree. Bowen is president emeritus of the Mellon Foundation and Princeton University.
