Reconstructing the First Year of College

By: Vincent Tinto

Colleges may need to refocus their retention programs.

From Volume 25 Number 1 | Fall 1996

Abstract: Reviews the scope and common causes of student attrition, highlighting seven major reasons for withdrawal: academic difficulty, adjustment problems, goal development or orientation, weak or external commitments, financial challenges, lack of congruence between the student and the institution, or isolation. Institutions have developed an array of retention programs in response. One such response, the development of learning communities, is explored in depth.

By: Michael Roster,Linda Woodward

How universities can reduce their legal costs while improving their legal services.

From Volume 24 Number 4 | Summer 1996

Describes the transition and initial phase of the "blended outsourcing," with implications for adapting this approach to other educational support services.
