<p>These people just don't stop with the misinformation</p>

<p>this time it's the false figuire on the 4-year graduation rate:</p>

<p>Quick</a> Facts about Duke</p>

<p>Student/Faculty Ratio (Fall 2010) 8:1
Students Returning After First Year 97%
Students Graduating in Four Years 95% </p>

<p>Duke's **4-year **graduation rate has been in the 86%-89% range - its **6-year **graduation rate was in the 94%-95% recently...</p>

<p>The 95% rate that Duke is now claiming for 4-years would make it the highest rate by about 5 percentage points compared to all major research universities in the country...</p>

<p>ubelievable!</p>

<p>Williams runs 93% and Franklin Olin runs 91% so Duke would be the highest 4 year grad rate by 2% if this is true.</p>

<p>Perhaps they fudged the numbers by only counting those who were still in school at the 4 year point rather than counting dropouts as well.</p>
