q2 · i? · review · r2

The report cites Faircloth & Tippeconnic (2010) for "high dropout rates of up to 50 percent among AI/AN youth" and Guillory & Wolverton (2008) for inadequate college support. These are descriptive statistics reported in the review, with no effect size.

"At present, high dropout rates of up to 50 percent among AI/AN youth (Faircloth & Tippeconnic, 2010) and inadequate support to persevere at the college level (Guillory & Wolverton, 2008) threaten successful outcomes for AI/AN students."

q2 · i? · review · r2

The report, citing Lopez, Heilig, & Schram (2013) and Bosse et al. (2011), states that despite rising college attendance, AI/AN students' "rates of matriculation and retention in college are still very low compared to their White peers."

"Although more AI/AN students are going to college than in the past (Lopez, Heilig, & Schram, 2013), their rates of matriculation and retention in college are still very low compared to their White peers"
