How did UCLA's rate increase 20 points in one year?

The reported grad rates are combined rates for four classes. In UCLA's grad rate this year, a class with a very low grad rate (14% federal grad rate) dropped out of UCLA's four-year average and was replaced by a class with a very high grad rate (80% federal grad rate). That led to a big jump in UCLA's four-class grad rate.
