[edit]Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Organization
| Description | Proportion of first-year students at the educational institution who return for their second year |
|---|---|
| Data type | Quantity |
| Example 1 | Tufts University (Q49120) → 0.967, point in time (P585) = 2021 [1] |
| Example 2 | University of New Hampshire (Q49207) → 0.858, point in time (P585) = 2022 [2] |
| Example 3 | Warren Wilson College (Q7970595) → 0.57, point in time (P585) = 2020 [3] |
Motivation
[edit]The freshman retention rate is a significant piece of information about a higher education institution, closely watched by both administrations and prospective students. It's often included in Wikipedia articles and would benefit from being recorded here. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 07:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Support Germartin1 (talk) 02:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)- The proposal as it makes little sense given that I would expect that the number changes every year and the proposed examples are unchanged. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 15:52, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- @ChristianKl, you are correct. The numbers do change every year, and should be qualified by point in time (P585). I've updated the proposal accordingly. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}} talk 17:46, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
