Interesting article. At Chicago State, the article certainly spins it such that it appears they deserve to be singled out. However, a University's dropout rate is not a determining factor of its quality. Some schools are just purely harder than others. In fact, I would argue that schools should be failing students if they are not qualified to perform the jobs which the degrees say they do. If schools end up passing more students just to avoid being on the "dropout" list, we'll be seeing a lot more bridges being "engineered" that collapse during use. For insight from a professor at CMU on why he wants to fail more students, see: http://vonahn.blogspot.com/2009/03/failing-students.html http://vonahn.blogspot.com/2009/03/failing-students.html Yes I took his class. Yes it kicked my ass. Yes it was hella fun.
