Your higher-ed tax dollars at work

The nation's largest newspaper recently reported that a distressingly low percentage of college freshmen are actually graduating from a four-year college within six years. Some highlights (lowlights?) from Oklahoma's tax-funded institutions:
University of Oklahoma, Norman campus (62 percent graduation rate)
Oklahoma State University, main campus (58 percent)
Southwestern Oklahoma State University (35 percent)
East Central University (35 percent)
Southeastern Oklahoma State University (32 percent)
University of Central Oklahoma (31 percent)
University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (22 percent)
Northeastern State University (32 percent)
Langston University (22 percent)
Northwestern Oklahoma State University (31 percent)
Oklahoma Panhandle State University (27 percent)
Cameron University (19 percent)
