What Washington Monthly says about the U's transfer decision

Daniel Luzer of Washington Monthly magazine -- the publication that last year ranked St. Paul College as the best community college in America -- reacts to Tim Post's article on the University of Minnesota cutting back on transfers:

(University of Minnesota Dean of Undergraduate Education Bob) McMaster also told Post that the university needs to do a better job helping its transfer students, including “tracking their academic progress and making sure they enroll in the classes they need.” There is, however, no indication the university actually plans to do this.

So where will all those hard working, middle class community college students go? No one knows.
