BY DANIELLE UERHULP News Writer

BSUhas formed atask force to determine ith hi what makes first-year students return to campus for a second year. Currently 41 percent of freshmen don't return for their sophomore year. This rate has remained consistent over the past two years. This figure is significantly lower than the retention rate at other Idaho univer- sities. According to their Web site, the University of Idaho currently boasts a re- I' ! tention rate of 85 percent.
