Jumping?
Authored by: Albert on Sunday, May 15 2005 @ 03:02 PM CDT
Your original question was why has attrition jumped. Did you mean why did it jump a decade ago?

I am not sure what the answer to that question is.

It seems though the statement from the article is somewhat odd. The faculty has always had a rather high attrition rate, but seeing how it has been on going apparently for 10 years it would be hardly seem a problem, but more as if it is by design, which I think is partially true. That design though clearly isn't meant to immediately trim out a quarter of a year of students.

Though I did come down a bit to hard in my first post, really the question I should have asked is what are you asking? How do we know attribition is going to become worse, or why did what they have observed happen, or even why is attrition relatively high in the first place?
