Over at the Daily Beast, Zac Bissonnette raves about "Why college is a waste of money." Looking at it from the other end of the lectern, I agree completely. But his numbers are a little vague, so how’s about refining the estimate? A quick check of websites for UTSA, UT Austin, and TCU reveal that recent graduation rates are out there (it seems to be an NCAA requirement), so I smell a sampling problem for my spring Applied Statistics class. Hmmm, I love the smell of statistics in the morning.
Tip from that Scourge of the North, Mark Steyn, at The Corner.
Update (23 December). Steyn posts a reader’s nitpick, that some students drop out after only a few years. Yeah, but, some hang around for years; that’s why Texas has, by law, the three-attempt rule.
