Critical-path courses can create significant obstacles to graduationas a single DFW (grade of D, F, or withdrawal) grade in any course can impede a student'sability to graduate on time. Reducing course fail rates along the critical path significantly reducesthe students’ time to degree.

Often driven by historical colonial relations, thesedisparities can have harmful results such as uneven stakeholder benefits, unidirectionality, andperpetuating oversimplified stereotypes, and can continue without critique due to hiddenassumptions of prestige in resources despite evidence to the contrary.
