More About the AEI Graduation Rates Report: The Performance of Private vs. Public Institutions
June 12, 2009
Last week, the American Enterprise Institute released a paper that spotlighted the often large differences in graduation rates between somewhat similar institutions of higher education. As President Obama made clear in his call for postsecondary completion for every American by 2020, the issue of college completion is critical to our nation's future. The AEI paper helps push this conversation forward.
However, one fact not mentioned in its report is the significant difference between the completion rates of students at private, nonprofit colleges and universities, and those at state institutions.
