USC Annenberg's Pew Hispanic Center garnered national media coverage with its release of a study showing that Hispanic students drop out of college far more often and receive bachelor's degrees about half as often as white students. The study shows that Hispanics with similar academic backgrounds as whites still graduate college at far lesser rates. "The tragedy is that too few (Latinos) are getting bachelor's degrees," Richard Fry, the author of the report and a senior research associate at the center, tells the Los Angeles Times in a June 24 article.
