Perfect graduation rate schools

Pretty damned impressive:

Fourteen women's basketball teams in the NCAA tournament have perfect graduation rates.

That list includes the tournament's top seed, Connecticut, according to a report released Monday by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida.

Of the other No. 1 seeds, Duke has a 90 percent graduation rate, Oklahoma is at 69 percent and Maryland is at 67 percent.

The other schools with 100 percent graduation rates are DePaul, Evansville, Florida, Lehigh, Marist, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Sacred Heart, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas, Vanderbilt and Villanova.

I'm more surprised that Dartmouth *doesn't*. An Ivy with an imperfect graduation rate? For shame!

Good point. I've been to Dartmouth, and it's such a pretty campus. Hopefully that's not its strong set.
