مستخلص: This annual report compares graduation rates for scholarship athletes at Oklahoma public and private institutions of higher education to those of the student body as a whole over 3- and 6-year periods. Colleges and universities identified scholarship athletes in 11 sport categories: football, basketball, baseball, softball, track and field, wrestling, volleyball, gymnastics, golf, tennis, and "other." Data are reported for: first, within-state bachelor- or associate-degree seeking students who graduated from any public or private institution within the state; and, second, within-institution students who graduated from the institution in which they enrolled as freshmen. The study found that: (1) at comprehensive universities Caucasian scholarship students graduated at about the same rate as all Caucasian students; at regional institutions they graduated at a higher rate; and African American scholarship athletes graduated at higher rates than all African American students in all institutions; (2) both male and female scholarship students graduated at lower rates in comprehensive institutions but at higher rates at regional schools; and (3) in four sports categories--softball, track and field, volleyball, and gymnastics--scholarship athletes at comprehensive universities exceeded average rates for all students; at regional universities and two-year colleges other sports were dominant. Twenty-six tables provide within-state and within-institution data; while four tables provide graduation-rate comparisons by year of enrollment. (CH)
