The major conflict about first generation programs is whether it is social adjustment problems or a combination of problems like an excess of family commitments or financial problems, which make it difficult for first generation students to succeed in college. For example, a program to combat theft in a poor neighborhood would fail unless it addressed the poverty, an underlying cause of crime because people steal to survive if they are too poor to survive any other way. A program is always destined to fail when it cannot directly adjust or respond to the causes behind problems. The problem with these programs is that the causes of first generation student problems are not agreed upon. The attentive administrations of these universities have begun creating programs to address this obvious threat to their continuing student populations. First generation students appear to drop out after failing to overcome a disproportionally large amount of problems with adjusting to, and succeeding in, college.
This dropout problem threatens to keep potential scholars from being able to bring valuable new knowledge to the world by forcing them out of college before they can finish their education.
