State higher education institutions need to improve graduation rates, University of Tennessee interim president Jan Simek said while visiting UT Health Science Center in Memphis as part of an annual tour of campuses.
UT Knoxville has a 63 percent graduation rate but aims for 80 percent to compete with the flagship institutions of neighboring states, Simek said.
