The proof of failure

Found some interesting links on how college students aren't graduating as quickly as advertised. This one site shows that of 100% students who start their path to a degree in 2004,  at a 4 year school, 42.6% are not graduating on the average time with the rest of the class http://collegecompletion.chronicle.com/state/#state=ny&sector=public_four

Then this one talks about how only about 50% graduate on time, meaning the possibility of another 40% either graduating far later, or not at all.
