Commentary from Rick Seltzer re: “Public confidence in higher ed plunges \u2014 again”<\/strong><\/a> — from chronicle.com<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/p>\n

Only 36 percent of Americans say they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in higher education,\u00a0according to a survey Gallup conducted in June.\u00a0That\u2019s down from 48 percent who said the same in 2018 and 57 percent in 2015.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also broadly consistent\u00a0with a March\u00a0Wall Street Journal-NORC survey that found just 42 percent of respondents thought college was worth the cost because it improves career prospects.<\/p>\n

Confidence waned among all major groups. Sharpest declines were among Republicans, those without a college degree, women, and the oldest respondents.<\/p>\n
