Dropout Droves

Woke educations aren't for them:
A June 4 report from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center found that college non-completers rose by 2.2 percent in the past year. Citing a lack of direction, student debt, and disillusionment with the value of a degree, many students are leaving school without finishing. Inside Higher Ed highlighted that a student’s “sense of purpose” plays a major role in retention. Instead of addressing these foundational issues—like affordability, job readiness, and clear academic pathways—many institutions have ramped up investments in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programming. Campus Reform has extensively covered the explosion of DEI efforts across higher education. Some universities now employ more DEI officers than history professors. These bureaucracies often mandate ideological trainings, revise general education courses to reflect political priorities, and fund identity-based events—all without clear evidence that they improve student success or retention.
There's no room for real improvement here...
