Dropout Rates Tied to End of Draft at Service Academies
A Navy spokesman cited the end of the draft as a major factor in rising dropout numbers at two service academies. At Annapolis 800 graduates represented 61 percent of 1971 entrants, with 522 dropouts including 352 voluntary and 170 pressured resignations. The Air Force Academy reported a 46 percent class of 1975 dropout, the highest in its history, while West Point and Coast Guard Academy shows steadier rates.
