Unpacking Attrition: A Change of Emphasis.
Corman, June; And Others
Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v22 n3 p14-27 1992
Conceptual, methodological, and ideological issues in college student attrition in the United States and Canada are discussed; and policy implications of attrition research are examined. It is argued that research in the United States has focused on those who have already demonstrated capacity for success, but greater emphasis on equality of opportunity is needed. (Author/MSE)
