> Has College Gotten Too Easy?

> If grades are improving but there’s no reason to think that
students have become better students, an interesting possibility
is raised: The unassuming, academic way Denning puts it in a
recent paper (co-authored with his BYU colleague Eric Eide and
Merrill Warnick, an incoming Stanford doctoral student) is that
“standards for degree receipt” may have changed. A less measured
way of saying what that implies: College may have gotten easier.
>
> It could well be the case, he said, that “schools are just
better at helping students” than they used to be. Indeed, many
colleges have launched initiatives to help more students
graduate, but the effectiveness of these programs varies, and
Denning said he does not have specific-enough data to analyze
their role in rising graduation rates nationwide.
>
> Denning and his co-authors acknowledged this possibility,
noting in their paper that altering what’s necessary to get a
degree is “the lowest cost way to increase graduation rates.”
But colleges’ widespread use of this tactic, conscious or not,
is at this point just guessed at and far from proven.

Very impressive. The athletic staff needs to put such rankings
front and center in the promotional materials they send to
potential recruits.

i know. sometimes i have to dig these things out- even if it
isnt the most well-known of publications, and regardless of the
criteria, we need to boast this more.
