    • Abstract:
      Using resource dependency theory as a conceptual framework, this study explores the relationship between the financial context of four-year institutions and student persistence. This research reveals that student persistence is positively related to the percent of revenue derived from tuition and negatively related to percent of expenditures on administration.
