Confidence in colleges and universities has reached a new all-time low, according to a recent poll commissioned by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression and conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. 'In two AmeriSpeak panels representative of the U.S. household population, we asked Americans: ‘How much confidence, if any, do you have in U.S. colleges and universities?’' a press release from FIRE reads.
Thirty percent similarly said they have 'very little' or no confidence at all in higher education. Democrats, women and younger Americans aged 18-34 saw 'some of the largest drops,' according to the report, while the level of confidence among conservatives – which was already low in the past – has 'reached a floor.
