“One overriding concern that college leaders should keep in mind is the danger that, if not framed well, approached carefully and paired with supply-side strategies, demand-side strategies can be interpreted as an implicit judgment that what the college puts out for students is fine and that students just need to make better choices.
Leaders must be very clear that improving timely graduation requires the college to ask itself tough questions about what it can do better to simplify and empower the choices that students make as they navigate the institution.”
