LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas University has implemented a new strategy to improve retention among students who failed out of its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The Lawrence (Kan.) Journal-World reports that 150 students were offered to participate in a new faculty mentoring program.

The college’s dean, Carl Lejuez, says that 125 of the students who failed came back to school through the program. Only one of those students has since left.

The program’s goal is to help these students’ grades so that they can continue to be enrolled. Lejuez says more than enough of the college’s faculty volunteered to mentor students without being paid.

He says the hope is that the quickly hatched program can help student retention until a more concrete faculty mentoring program can be implemented.
