- Summary:
-
This study analyzed institutional factors that significantly affect cohort default rates at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and assessed the potential for reducing these rates. It has been hypothesized that the HBCUs most successful in lowering student cohort default rates are those that have also succeeded in increasing student retention rates. Swail's (1995) conceptual framework for student retention, which focuses on barriers and issues facing minority students, was used to identify and assess factors that might contribute to reducing cohort default rates. A mixed time-series/cross-sectional model examined the effectiveness of institutional strategies designed to reduce cohort default rates; data was analyzed for financial aid, recruitment and admissions, curriculum and instruction, academic services, and student services at 80 HBCUs for the period 1987-95. Analysis revealed that increases in some non-academic components (grants and student services) of an institution's budget are statistically associated with increases in cohort default rates. However, increases in instructional services are associated with lower cohort default rates, with such increases having their biggest effect at relatively low levels of spending. The study concludes that, although the data explain about 40 percent of the variation in cohort default rates, student-based characteristics and other factors account for the majority of the variation.
