A final note on the key role of faculty and academic affairs:
“… [w]e have to stop using the R word. Instead we should speak of student education and frame our efforts as part of
the broader educational mission of the institution for that is the precisely the work of the faculty. Their job is not
retaining students, it’s educating students. If they attend to the latter, the former will follow of its own accord.”
Vincent Tinto, in Student Retention: What Next?
