Sampling the population based on certain critiques starts with the quality of the participants; 33% will be from graduates, 33% will be from dropouts and 34% will be from candidates who are still enrolled within the institution.
This is critical to attaining a balance between each statistic. There will be students who may be dishonest and feel compelled to only give an emotional answer to any question that they are asked concerning the study. It may be due to dissatisfied grading or a disagreement between a fellow peer.
Building a relationship between the students, the researcher and the instructors is crucial to complete the circle concerning positive relationships directly impacting the students. Employees and direct staff will not be factored into the equation because these variables are constantly changing amongst campuses across the United States
[...] Next the researcher will have to check the current contingency plans of said institution to ensure they have a process in place to create a successful plan for each potential enrollment. The other option would be a systematic sampling effort where each student is selected using data that the institution would make critical decisions around, the example would be students on a probationary list before being expelled. The questioning would surround the quality of the probationary process, does the institution feel these particular students are salvageable or are they taking advantage of the financial aid that each student partakes in when enrolling within the institution itself.

[...] If a student was doing well and ready to help other students this process may qualify them for employment within the institution; there is no better advocate than the success of an enrolled student who finds value within the institution. The purpose of education is to make people better, to attain knowledge and to understand your own situation. Every student deserves to understand what they are expected to do once they enroll; and if they do not exceed expectations they are disciplined by becoming a dropout and attaining a large amount of debt without employment.

[...] Strategy Concerning Demographic Testing Working through the processes of creating positivity through the qualitative study will be critical in communicating with the participants of the study, individuals who feel the study may be one sided or biased may have an issue with trust and understanding what is expected from them during the study. Spanning the demographic through hall cultures within the institution of choice will also be critical; there has to be a complete balance within all sectors when establishing the rules of the experiment and interviews.
