Abstract: In the February, 1982 issue of Interfaces , Schick and Kunnecke infer that academic grades and quality of institution are poor indicators of employment retention. Although the analysis is qualified by “limitations and reflections,” the general hypothesis is that these characteristics may not be indicators of employee retention, that is, graduates of prestigious institutions with high grades can be expected to change jobs early in their careers. We believe that the authors have not appropriately tested this hypothesis, and it is our contention that there is at least a possibility for an alternative interpretation of the data.
