While the public have questions and concerns about higher education in the U.S., the majority are satisfied with what universities provide and believe they are a necessary public investment.
The Gallup organization and Pew Charitable Trust studies are referenced in Scott Jaschik's summary points from the two studies. A couple of trends that are important include; those surveyed were more positive about colleges that are geographically near them, public institutions are perceived more favorably, and are perceived to have a positive impact on the community and society at large. The analysis of results revealed that Republicans have a far less favorable impression of higher education on many issues.
When asked about how student populations should look, 64% said that diversity was important. In addition, respondents indicated that some special conditions should be considered, including consideration of athletic talent (60%), musical talent (72%), leadership (73%), and compensation to overcome poverty or health hardships (83%).
Respondents registered support for standing behind diverse choices in speakers appearing on campuses but indicated that they thought most colleges/universities lean toward liberal views. Concerns were raised about colleges/universities protecting their students from sexual assault and supporting their mental health needs.
