By 1980, the figure had increased to 70 percent. This the attrition rate for minority students has decreased from 55 percent in 1977 to 30 percent in 1980." "The attrition rate for all students at Middlebury was 24 percent in 1977, and only 18 percent in 1980. Therefore, although the rate of attrition among minority students has decreased, it remains high in comparison to the attrition rate of the student body as a whole." campus culture racial diversity student life
