Service Ace? Which Academic Services and Resources Truly Benefit Student Athletes.

Hollis, Leah P.

Journal of College Student Retention, v3 n3 p265-84 2001-2002

Examined the relationship between student-athlete graduation rates and academic support services. Found an inverse relationship between services offered and graduation rate, indicating that schools that admit student athletes with weaker academic profiles are providing more academic support services. Also found that summer school before freshman year is the service with the most impact. (EV)
