35 / 56
Business as usual is no longer an option
•
InTexas, only 56% of Texas public university students earn a degree within 6 years
of enrolling*
•
This means 44 % of students either dropped out or have significantly delayed their
education goals
•
This situation creates significant costs for the state of Texas
•
Also, failure to earn a degree causes a real financial hardship for students and their
families
There needs to be a better balance between access and success
