122、The following appeared in a
memorandum1 from the president of Mira
Vista2 College to the college’s board of trustees.
"At nearby Green Mountain College, which has more business courses and more job
counselors3 than does Mira Vista College, 90 percent of last year’s graduating seniors had job offers from
prospective4 employers. But at Mira Vista College last year, only 70 percent of the seniors who informed the placement office that they would be seeking employment had found
full-time5 jobs within three months after graduation, and only half of these graduates were employed in their major field of study. To help Mira Vista’s graduates find employment, we must offer more courses in business and computer technology and hire additional job counselors to help students with their resumés and interviewing skills."
