The curious math of college graduation rates

[unc70]

4. The 4, 5, and 6-year rates were reported in the past

During the 1960s and early 1970s, there was a large cohort whose education was interrupted by Vietnam. Those who came back to school often took even more than six years to graduate. I took more than your because we were on strike following Kent State and Jackson State. I received several incomplete that semester including one that I was never able to resolve; the professor left the University during the chaos and would not respond. I finally took another course.

I don't know the motivation behind this article, but it reminds me of the RW anti education crowd here in N.C.

I know about past graduation rates because I did research in the field back in the day.
