Having worked for many years at Massachusetts community colleges, I have been consistently frustrated with the federal and state governments' focus on graduation rates at community colleges and not student persistence. In my experience, the traditional full time student population at community colleges has become if not a minority population, close to it. U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan's more realistic approach should be applauded.
