Republicans Turn Negative On Higher Education In Pew Survey
A Pew Research Center report shows a sharp shift among Republicans toward viewing colleges and universities unfavorably. Among 2,504 adults surveyed, 58 percent now see higher education as having a negative impact, up from 37 percent two years earlier, with younger Republicans more positive than older, and even among degree holders, optimism declined notably. Rising tuition costs and campus controversies are cited as possible causes, with broader implications for funding and public service.
