Well, they certainly were all over the goodness of NHTI in an editorial yesterday:
But the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, offered a ray of good news last month. In a report that attempted to quantify the value added by colleges – in other words, how much graduates of an institution outperformed their expected average salary – Concord’s own NHTI came in first among two-year schools. Not second, not third.
First.
And they rave about its 41% graduation rate. Let me give a bit of “balance” to that – I present the #1 worst as assembled by Fiscal Times: Granite State College
10 Public Universities with the Worst Graduation Rates
1) Granite State College, Concord, New Hampshire
- Graduation rate: 9.1%
- Undergraduates: 1,723
- Median SAT score: N/A
- Pell Grant recipients: 49.4%
- In-State tuition and fees: $8,775
- Acceptance rate: 100%
9.1% – all that money spent by students who are probably at the margins to begin with – this is the way to run a State level education system? And THEN we see the brouhaha from the Feds and politicos about the for-profit schools? How about cleaning up your own act?
