Colleges try to ease path for freshmen
by John Pope
Dillard University's establishment of the Division of Student Success is part of a national trend in which colleges and universities are paying attention to the importance of holding on to the students they recruit. One reason such services are being set up is because of pressure from accrediting organizations and the federal Department of Education to show how students fare once they have enrolled and, if necessary, to help them.
