GEORGIA COLLEGE GRADUATION RATES LOWER THAN OTHER STATES

After the immigrant haters in Georgia's Senate passed SB458 to prevent undocumented immigrants from attending any Georgia college or university,a study by the Chronicle for Higher Education states that in Georgia, an average of only 24 percent of entering college in the freshmen year get a degree within four years in Georgia’s public four-year colleges. This is well below the national average. Across Georgia, only 52 percent of students complete a four-year degree within six years.
A dim outlook over Georgia's college education for mostly U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. It is even more idiotic to deny public education to undocumented immigrants who have more of an incentive to graduate well. Our state needs more educated people, hopefully we will have some more educated people in the Georgia Senate and House in the future.
