Should remediation in higher education be ended? A recent report from Complete College America says exactly that. The authors call for all public institutions of higher education in the United States to stop offering it and instead ensure that students who need extra help take co-requisite requirements, such as extra tutoring. Their recommendations are based on several research findings. The author reviews studies that estimate the impact of remediation on graduation. The author argues that eliminating remediation because many students don't succeed is similar to not performing CPR because so few people are successfully revived. The solution to this problem won't come from a blanket solution like eliminating all developmental coursework. While research is needed to understand the best way to provide students who arrive at college with the skills they need to succeed, simply eliminating remediation because many students don't succeed is likely to result in a further reduction in both access and success.
