After a decade of progress, students are losing their footing when it comes to graduating college, but there is hope in the hands of key stakeholders.
The United States is at a crossroads when it comes to college completion. More than a decade ago, a bipartisan collective of states and governors set ambitious higher education goals because they recognized their economic futures depended on increasing the number of adults with post-high school education or training. This goal was also championed by President Barack Obama, who pledged to return the U.S. to its status as the first in the world for college completion.
Since the 1960s, the federal government has committed vast resources to the cause of college access, to the tune of tens of billions of dollars each year in Pell Grants and tens of billions more underwriting student loans. This federal largesse has opened the college doors more widely to more students.But access doesn't mean success.
