This type of program aiming to help students get back on track should not be too much to ask from our administration. The committee members should recognize the value of a rebirth of interest in graduating from a student who may have strayed. This not only improves the graduation rate, but also increases the tuition base, which the administration should love. When students who want to graduate get kicked out of school because of bad grades, it is a bad enough blow to their self-confidence and motivation to further their education. Education at a public university should be available to all of those who seek it.
Nobody is perfect.
We all make mistakes in some way or another. And if students screw up academically, it should not mean the doors of education are closed to them forever. They should help these students not only before they are about to be kicked out, but also when they are ready to come back and graduate. All rights reserved.
