White men, on the other hand, graduated at a rate of 59 percent

Buried in the article is this statistic which I find very telling. Even among the "privileged" there is a 41% failure rate. There is something very wrong with the whole system of college admissions if this is true.

MANY students should never been enrolled in college, black, white or whatever.

Well, that may not be EXACTLY accurate. The statistic seems to be 41% are not graduating after 6 years. That may very well mean that most in this group are not graduating at all. However, as far back the early 90's, it was difficult to graduate from a Cal State University in 4 years going full time. Many people I know spent at least 5 years because campus was overcrowded and classes difficult to get.

So if we're talking about people who have changed majors partway through, or going part time, this stat may make things look worse than they are.
