    8. What Do We Know of Missing? --Poor retention is nothing new. --Students are leaving with debt. --Students take relatively few credits per semester. --No comprehensive analysis of where students are. --No comprehensive analysis of why students left. --Why don’t we have a comprehensive analysis? --Is there an implied contract when we admit?

    9. Who is Responsible/Accountable? --What office is responsible for retention? --Since retention has been relatively invariant, then is the implication that it is acceptable? --Is admission criteria to blame? --Does it cost more to educate seniors rather than freshmen? --What’s relationship between access and retention?

    10. CLOSING COMMENTS --Need Comprehensive study of where students go after they leave UWM --Need comprehensive study of why students leave UWM --Need analysis of debt burden when students leave. --Identify who, what office, is responsible/accountable for retention.
