The University of North Carolina Board of Governors is considering a policy shift, which would cap enrollment for universities who do not increase their retention rates.

UNC School System President Erskine B. Bowles said in the past, universities have been rewarded for increasing their enrollment growth, but now they want to concentrate on graduation.

“We’re doing a great job in accessibility, but we haven’t done a good job in retention or graduation,” Bowles said. “This is a significant policy and focus shift. We agree it’s the right emphasis for the universities.”
