This is a short excerpt from a YouTube video titled "Thank you, Mike, for speaking at my meet and greet event!" (uploaded by encouraging-retrograde). In this excerpt Mike recounts boardroom stories about minority student outcomes: he reports that a minority group had a 7% six-year graduation rate and that math course failure was a primary obstacle; instead of adding remedial support, the president removed the math requirement.

Chapters

So let me tell you a couple stories. When I got on the board, the president who was in place rapidly lost my confidence. He was wondering why there was minority groups who had a 7% 6 year graduation rate, meaning when they started at the end of six years, only 7% graduated. So he asked why is that? And what he found out was the obstacle was math. They had a problem passing math. So what would a common sense person say? They'd say get them tutorials, get them special classes, remediated. Do you know what his answer was? He did away with a math requirement.
