EXCERPT:
A new Gallup survey shows public confidence in American higher education has declined amid rising concerns over campus politics and financial value following a brief period of recovery last year.
Just the News reports that the latest Gallup survey done in partnership with the Lumina Foundation shows the percentage of respondents who say they have a “great deal/quite a lot” of confidence in higher education has dropped to 38 percent from 42 percent.
Public trust in higher education continues to fall.
This year’s Gallup survey of higher ed shows that the decline in trust is also bipartisan.
