Seven years for college? You're kidding me!

There was a story on the news today about college students taking on average as long as seven years to finish school! What the hell? On what planet? Even the Cleveland State president said it's not realistic to finish in four or five years.

Now, I did a double major in four years, and still had to pad my schedule with phys ed classes my senior year. I've got a friend graduating next year who could have graduated a semester early even. My volleyball kids all seem to be on schedule to finish in four years.

So who the hell are these people? I understand some majors that an extra semester might be necessary, especially if there are out-of-class requirements like internships or student teaching or whatever, but seven years?
