Time Is the Enemy, Complete College America, September 2011
Unless we move with urgency, today’s young people will be the first generation in American history to be less educated than their predecessors. Consider this a sobering wake-up call — and an urgent appeal for action now. …4 of every 10 public college students are able to attend only part-time. Which means leaders have been making policy decisions about
higher education absent critical information about 40 percent of the students, as if their success or failure was less important than that of “traditional” full-time students… Seventy-five percent of today’s students are juggling some combination of families, jobs, and school while commuting to class; according to the U.S. Department of Education, only a quarter go full-time, attend residential colleges, and have most of their bills paid by their parents…. Part-time students rarely graduate…. Poor students and students of color struggle the most to graduate…. Students are taking too many credits and too much time to complete…. Remediation is broken, producing few students who ultimately graduate. …The Big Idea: Time is the enemy of college completion. -
