American confidence in higher education has risen, with 42% expressing "quite a lot" or "a great deal" of confidence, compared to 36% previously. Concurrently, the percentage with little or no confidence decreased from 32% to 23%. A poll shows that both Democrats and Republicans have similar sentiments, with 42% saying higher education is "fine as it is." The Trump administration's critiques have provoked a backlash, creating support for higher education. Institutions should acknowledge that the future landscape will differ from the past and prepare accordingly.
According to Gallup, after reaching an all-time low in the past two years, American confidence in higher education has risen to where those expressing 'quite a lot' or 'a great deal' of confidence is now 42 percent (up from 36 percent), while those with little or no confidence has decreased from 32 percent to 23 percent.
The Trump administration attacks on higher ed have triggered some measure of backlash among public opinion, creating a certain rallying effect around the sector.
One of the realities I think everyone in higher ed must embrace is that the future is going to be different from the past and attempts to return to the past are unlikely to be successful.
As Cantwell says, 'I do not believe Trump will be able to destroy American higher education, but his administration will try, and the sector will suffer.'
