Data indicated that enrollments had "flattened" but similar run chart analysis indicated that the total number of credit hours have decreased and the retention rate is declining.

As part of the administration's effort to deal with these concerns, the project team decides to do more analysis to figure out what can be done about the latter of these specifically.A vocal faction of the team insists that to improve retention (and graduation rates) the university must tighten its admissions standards (arguing that those with lower GPA and SAT scores "leave").

How would you set up the (right) tool to evaluate whether the vocal faction is right or not?What would the results have to look like in order to substantiate or repudiate its claim?

1. A copy of the completed tool that you used in responding to the question,

2. along with an analysis of the data illustrated in the tool/ diagram/ chart in terms of what inferences you can make regarding the scenario.

3. Alsocomment on how you approached setting up the tool and what was easy vs. difficult in using the tool.
