That's not the college's problem but rather on the individuals who didn't have the grit to earn a credential. Attending a university or college is a privilege, not an educational right like public school for K12. It is an academic challenge and supposed to be difficult. Attending higher education is costly though so I have empathy for those that cannot complete their degree because of the high financial cost.
I only ever positioned myself to ensure I was in the percentage that graduated for my degrees. College isn't for everyone and plenty of individuals can be successful and contribute to society without a college degree. I respect anyone for whatever path they select to do good and right for their own life. That out of the way, I'm proud to have earned degrees and it has improved my quality of life.
