The Washington Post quotes the impressive new president of what the Post correctly calls the “long-troubled” University of the District of Columbia. He’s talking about dropping the school’s undergraduate major in education, which has many students but graduates almost no one.
There are about 380 undergraduate education majors now, but enrollment has gradually declined for five years. During that time, the school has issued diplomas to just a handful of students a year from each of four specialty areas. In undergraduate special education, which has about 30 students a year, there are years when no one graduates.
