Inside Higher Ed: Adjuncts and Graduation Rates
If community colleges want to see more students graduate or finish programs, what should institutions do? Add new testing or assessment programs?
There may be a simple answer. A national analysis of graduation and program completion rates at community colleges has found that institutions with higher percentages of full-time faculty members have higher completion rates. The study was conducted by Dan Jacoby, the Harry Bridges Professor of Labor Studies at the University of Washington, whose paper on the research is forthcoming in the Journal of Higher Education.
