This may mirror the graduation rates of Blacks in general. Does he know how many Blacks graduate on time and what may be the causes for their inability to graduate in four years. For most, it is directly related to funding. So, no matter how great it would be to graduate with one's class, I would hope that it would be more important just to graduate. Also, is he aware of the GPAs of members vs. non-members? His opinions seem valid only because anything seems valid when it is untested. But, when one compares BGLOS to WGLOS in this way, one must not forget to include the general disparities between Whites in Blacks in higher education graduation rates and pre-college preparation.

It's tough enough to graduate without going into severe debt or dropping courses, but his attittude appears cavalier, as though those people choose not to graduate on time. And, for MOST students (regardless of race) that is not the truth.
