Higher Education Leaders Urged to Correct Misleading Narratives on College Costs and Completion Rates

Higher Education Leaders Urged to Correct Misleading Narratives on College Costs and Completion Rates

A current president in the higher education sector has expressed frustration over the dissemination of misleading information regarding college completion rates and tuition costs. The president highlights that many leaders in higher education often cite outdated or incorrect data, which is then amplified by the media. For instance, while it is commonly stated that only half of college students graduate, data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center shows that 61.1% of the fall 2019 cohort completed their studies within six years. This rate increases to 64.8% when extended to eight years. Furthermore, the president points out that the cost of net tuition and fees has been declining over the past decade due to increased tuition discounting, contrary to the narrative of rapidly rising education costs.
