If only 36% finish their college degrees in four years, maybe 64% of those in college don't belong there

The New York Times reported here in 2014:

At most public universities, only 19 percent of full-time students earn a bachelor’s degree in four years, the report found. Even at state flagship universities — selective, research-intensive institutions — only 36 percent of full-time students complete their bachelor’s degree on time.

Meanwhile just 59% finish within six years.
