Ok then - so pros and cons - what do you dislike about High Point? Why do you feel so many people criticize the school? I think it is one of the most divisive I have ever seen - in terms of people who like it and those who bash it. What would you change about HPU if you had the power to do so? What do you see as the school’s shortcomings?

Here’s a specific question - why is HPU’s graduation rate so low?

US News has the 4 year graduation rate at 45% - that’s quite low. As a parent - that would concern me. By comparison - schools that overlap with HPU in terms of applicants - Elon and JMU - had much higher graduation rates. Elon has a 75% rate and James Madison has 67%. How would you explain that?
