Watch out for an Ohio college funding reduction: letter to the

3:49 AM  Gov. John Kasich's current mission to increase state
colleges' graduation rates is a thinly veiled move to camouflage
what is surely a coming reduction in the state's funding for its
colleges.  That everyone should have the opportunity to seek a
college education is now a universally held standard. With that
as a fundamental precept, a natural consequence is lower
graduation rates. For a whole host of reasons, many incoming
college freshman do not complete a college degree. Two prominent
reasons include personal problems such as financial and a basic
lack of preparation or aptitude necessary to do college-level
work. So the more open the college acceptance standards, the
higher will be the dropout rate.  Lowering tuition costs and
adding more momentum to the already runaway college grade
inflation would probably increase graduation rates, but would
that really be a bargain for
