Hispanic graduation rate at the University of Maryland lagging
Tagged: graduation rate, Maryland, population, studentPosted on: October 3rd, 2007“For the University of Maryland, adapting to a growing Hispanic population is already a challenge.
The six-year graduation rate among Hispanic students is lagging behind those of white and Asian students by about 15 percent, university President Dan Mote said in his State of the Campus address this year.
But now, with the number of Hispanic students graduating from Maryland high schools expected to triple by 2014, according to statistics commissioned by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education Board of Regents, the effort to close the achievement gap has taken on new urgency.”
