Black Student College Graduation Rates

There is a lot of information available this Journal of Blacks in Higher Education article titled "Black Student College Graduation Rates Inch Higher But a Large Racial Gap Persists".

According to a study by Nellie Mae, the largest nonprofit provider of federal and private education loan funds in this country, 69 percent of African Americans who enrolled in college but did not finish said that they left college because of high student loan debt as opposed to 43 percent of white students who cited the same reason.

There is a lot of information at that link. Now, should this play a part in the affirmative action debate?
