"The decline is real: Surveys show a sharp drop in public confidence in higher education (primarily among conservatives), from 57 percent in 2015 to 36 percent in 2023."
"The report offers zero empirical evidence to connect any particular issues to 'trust,' and few logical arguments."
"Were there any dramatic changes in higher education in the late 2010s and early 2020s that would rationally explain this loss of faith?"
"The Yale committee refuses to come out and speak the truth: The decline in trust of higher education is primarily."
The Yale Committee on Trust in Higher Education reported a significant decline in public confidence in higher education, particularly among conservatives. Surveys indicate a drop from 57 percent in 2015 to 36 percent in 2023. The report attributes this decline to factors like cost, admissions policies, and grade inflation, but lacks empirical evidence linking these issues to trust. The report fails to address the actual causes of declining trust, instead presenting a list of grievances and suggestions for reform without logical connections to the trust deficit.
