In late January, The Education Trust posted a press release noting “some public colleges and universities are making gains, closing gaps in graduation rates for minority students.”
That release then noted a small number of “Top Gainers” and “Top Gap Closers” to highlight institutions which have “made the biggest improvements in these areas.” Among those few schools receiving kudos was UW-Madison.
….Earlier this week, Newsweek used these same Education Trust figures to demonstrate how “American universities are accepting more minorities than ever. Graduating them is another matter.”
