Graduation rates are lower for minority college athletes. Discuss two specific ways that colleges and universities could increase this rate.
What will be an ideal response?
One suggestion to improve college graduation rates for minority athletes is to make players ineligible for post-season play and championship contests if the sports team fails to graduate at least 40% of its players within a 6-year period. Another way to potentially increase graduation rates is by closely monitoring academic achievement throughout the semester for athletes and providing tutoring if needed.
