“…From an institutional perspective, while we have information on institutional context factors and their effect on degree completion, organizational analyses are limited by the fact that they mainly tend to evaluate the influence of structural aspects of an institution (Oseguera 2005(Oseguera -2006Sjoberg 1999;Titus 2004Titus , 2006a and until recently, the organizational culture of an institution (Berger 2000(Berger , 2001(Berger -2002Braxton 2000;Kuh 2001Kuh -2002.

Using multi-institutional data from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program's (CIRP) annual survey of entering freshmen, the Higher Education Research Institute's (HERI) Faculty Surveys, campus registrars' offices, and IPEDS data, we evaluated the extent to which peer institutional retention climates and faculty perceived campus climates influenced individual 6-year retention rates. We used hierarchical generalized linear models (HGLM) to examine the extent to which institutional climate (as measured by peer institutional retention climate and faculty perceived climate), net of students' ability, expectations, and family socioeconomic status, influence students' persistence behavior. We found that institutional retention climate, as defined by a student body's aggregated report of withdrawal intentions, did independently determine whether a student would persist or not. While past research has overlooked peer and faculty climates, the results from this work call for the attention of peer institutional retention climates.

This study examined the effect that variances in the U.S. News & World Report rankings have on enrollment trends and practices in both top and non‐top 25 business schools. The purpose of this study was to determine whether mobility in the rankings was met with a statistically significant response to the research questions presented. While this was not the first study to look at business school rankings and their effect on enrollment trends, it was the first one to look at recent data associated with this phenomenon, as well as, the first study to utilize panel data in order to determine the answer to its research questions. The four research questions put forth dealt with enrollment numbers, student quality, acceptance rates, and peer assessment scores. The study determined that the research questions are not statistically significant across the board and that one group is more sensitive than the other to variation in the rankings. Possible practical implications for these findings and further research are discussed, as well as, the limitations of the study.

“…Esto contrasta con resultados de otros estudios (Berger y Milem 2000;Berger 2002;Kuh 2002;Fernández, 2009), y con la percepción de algunos críticos del sistema educativo (Astin & Scherrei, 1980;Berger, 2000Berger, , 2001Berger, -2002Berger, , 2002Braxton & Brier, 1989;Smart & Hamm, 1993;Berger & Milem, 2000) que sitúan a las mismas instituciones de educación como el principal factor de la interrupción de los proyectos formativos de los estudiantes. La decisión de interrumpir los estudios se presenta, entonces, como un fenómeno complejo que no está asociado directa y necesariamente con factores de orden institucional, sino que existe otro tipo de motivaciones y realidades que se conjugan para tomar la decisión de interrumpir la formación universitaria.…”

Objetivo: identificar algunas incidencias, cuando un sujeto decide afrontar la vida desligándose de una institución de educación. Metodología: la investigación se desarrolló desde una perspectiva de investigación cualitativa, con un diseño exploratorio y fenomenológico. El análisis privilegió una perspectiva crítico-comprensiva. Hallazgos: el fenómeno denominado deserción responde a una decisión personal, no necesariamente asociada a factores institucionales donde generalmente se centra la mirada; sino que responde a dinámicas de búsqueda y construcción subjetiva. Conclusiones: se destaca la capacidad para tomar decisiones, participar en dinámicas de movilidad social y construirse subjetivamente desde las propias expectativas.
