A Closer Look at Higher Education by Jenna Ashley Robinson has some scary statistics about Higher Education in the US. Here are a few:
• Only 29% of college graduates achieve a score of “proficient” on national literacytests.
• Only 53% of students who begin college have graduated after six years.
• After factoring in forgone wages and the cost of a college education, the average lifetime earnings advantage for college graduates ranges from $150,000 to $500,000—not the million dollar figure that is often cited.
• In a survey at 50 selective colleges, 46% of students said that some professors use the classroom to present their personal political views.
