A new poll conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago (commissioned by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression) shows that only 28% of Americans have a lot of trust in higher education. Academia has continued to alienate much of the country as an orthodox echo chamber. As with media outlets, the result has been falling interest and trust in these institutions.The poll asked “How much confidence, if any, do you have in U.S. colleges and universities?”
Only 28% said they had a “great deal of confidence in colleges and universities.” Not surprisingly, given the ideological balance at most schools, the highest levels of trust came from Democrats and liberals. However, even this group only showed a 40% high confidence rate. Among Republicans, it drops to 12% and among independents it drops to 28%.
For most businesses, such negative reactions would be viewed as catastrophic. For academia, it will not matter a whit.
It is still personally beneficial for professors and administrators to push ideological agendas and maintain the lack of intellectual diversity on campuses. These professors are not challenged in their writings or their statements. They dominate publications, awards, and associations. In the meantime, these schools still receive sufficient support from alumni and, in the case of public universities, public funding.
This could not come at a worse time as many decide that college is simply not worth the money. At the same time, falling birthrates are impacting dropping applications. Others have little interest in going to institutions where they must hide their political viewpoints or values.
We have seen the same phenomenon in the media where media outlets are collapsing in viewership or readership but reporters are resisting every effort to return to a more neutral and objective basis for coverage. Recently, the Washington Post’s new publisher and CEO William Lewis dropped a truth bomb on his writers by telling them “Let’s not sugarcoat it…We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. Right. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore.”
The response from the media has been a campaign against Lewis and another editor tasked with saving the newspaper from itself. The New York Times, National Public Radio, and other outlets have piled on Lewis with a series of attack pieces. This is being actively and openly supported by reporters at the Post and could well work in pressuring owner Jeff Bezos. The result will be to stay the course of plunging trust and readership at a paper that is hemorrhaging money and readers.
We need great universities and great newspapers as a nation. We need Princeton and the Post. That is why this trend is so alarming. These are hardened silos that seem impenetrable to efforts to restore trust in their product.

We were all budding socialists-cum-communists by 1860 thanks to that fellow traveler of Karl Marx, “Crazy Abe” Lincoln.
American freedom persisted for a mere 71 years.
America will never enjoy the true maximal freedom of its Constitution and Bill of Rights in the absence of the full and complete repeal of Lincoln, in so far as that is possible against whatever remnants endure today, commencing with Karl Marx’s anti-American and unconstitutional “Reconstruction Amendments.”

How is the 13th,14th, and 15th amendments inconsisitent with capitalism or in support of marxism?
Moot and incoherent.
Those were written to address illegal aliens who could not be admitted to become citizens per the Naturalization Act of 1802, that was in full force and effect on January 1, 1863, requiring deportation of 4 million related individuals by way of immediate compassionate repatriation as no other disposition adhered to the law.
It is noteworthy how our Democratic Party resembles the Commuist Party at the tail end of the Soviet Union: lifetime government positions; fabulous wealth, compared to the populace; fulltime effort to prevent meaningful reform of a bloated bureaucracy; closing the door to fresh faces; pointless wars just to give the government something to do; putting dissidents in prison or mental institutions; forbidding any criticism of the official “Pravda” (Truth). Oh, and they give themselves numerous awards and medals. An aristocracy composed of donkeys.
I have 100% confidence that academia is run by Marxist anti-America trash. All Government funding to Marxist academia must be eliminated. And the tax-exempt status of Marxist academia must be revoked.
Oh, that was done by the American Founders and Framers in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Per Article 1, Section 8, Congress has no power to tax for anything other than debt, defense, and general Welfare, which is comprised of basic infrastructure such as roads, water, post office, electricity, airports, seaports, sewer, rubbish collection, and other facilities, commodities, and services used by all, or the whole of the populace, that are not readily available in the private sector.
Additionally, unions, the essential component of anti-constitutional communism, including, but not limited to, teacher and professor unions, are criminal organizations that must be eliminated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for obstruction of replacement hiring, contract breaches, disturbance of the peace, trespassing, property damage, bodily injury, etc., while the Department of Labor and Labor laws are unconstitutional and must be repealed as such.
Your limited view of general welfare is not shared by the Supreme Court — see Helvering v Davis (1937) that correctly held that Social Security was consitiutional.
You didn’t cite the Constitution.
…and the totally erroneous, politically biased, and abjectly corrupt Supreme Court of 1973 was struck down, overturned, and embarrassed by the Supreme Court of 2022.
And the partial, biased, corrupt, and sycophantic Supreme Court of 1869 found not-prohibited secession to be prohibited; alas, without citation.
Because secession is not prohibited, secession is prohibited.
Let’s set a precedent here and now.
Pay no attention to precedents.
Oh, and throw manifest and demonstrably corrupt judges, Justices, and courts in prison.
Jonathan: Public confidence in public education has dropped. But it has little to do with professors and administrators pushing “ideological agendas” and the “lack of intellectual diversity on campuses” as you claim. That’s a false dichotomy.
The main problem is that higher education is very expensive in the US. Most working-class families can’t afford a university education–unless they saddle themselves with oppressive student loan debt they probably won’t be able to repay.
Polls consistently show between 78% to over 80% support a free public education. Pres. Biden has made various proposals to reduce the cost of a university education but all have been shot down by the MAGA Republican House. In his first term DJT wanted to slash the DOE budget. That’s also part of his “Project 2025” plan if he is re-elected. The contrast could not be more stark. Dems support public education. DJT does not. Something to remember as we head to the November election.
Because of the high cost of education in this country there has been an increase in the number of students going overseas for their education. We have friends whose daughter attended undergraduate school in Switzerland. Why? Because tuition was free. She’s now back here to attend medical school. But it’s going to cost her parents an arm and a leg!
I think the student loan crisis is driving many of the polls. As a country with the largest GDP why can’t we afford a free public education for all qualifying students? If little Switzerland can do it why not here?
But what does not being able to afford a university education have to do with not trusting or having confidence in a university education?
During the Obama presidencies, President and First Lady Obama advocated strongly for, and funded, community colleges.
Community colleges tend to offer certificate programs for practical skills, in addition to liberal arts classes, and therefore the vibe at many community colleges is different from the vibe at 4-year liberal arts colleges and universities.
In general, there are fewer tenured professors focused on promulgating ideologies. Instead, they try to transfer knowledge about welding, or imaging, or respiratory therapy, or plumbing. They try to remediate innumeracy and illiteracy among freshman who arrive at the community college unable to read or do math. Maybe because the teachers who taught them at their k-12 public schools attended a 4-year college or university where they were taught that math was racist or that teaching a young child what “ch” sounds like would hurt that child.
Because we can’t afford it. We are $41T in federal government debt. Also, most of the education is a waste.
Edward — We certainly can afford so-called higher education, even a European-style entirely state supported system.
The federal debt needs to be compared to the size of the US economy; not much.
And I most surely note that the education is not a waste!
David: “education is not a waste.:
+++
No, but indoctrination is.
Taxpayers don’t owe capable students and families that can certainly afford to purchase higher education themselves.
Communist teacher unions and school districts can certainly stop striking and ripping-off students and families.
Please cite the Constitution for your unconstitutional, collectivist, communist recommendations, comrade.
There is no provision to tax for or fund education.
School-age Americans are a small percentage of the general population (~15%) and their education does not constitute “general Welfare” but very individual, specific, and particular welfare.
There is no enumerated power allowing Congress to regulate education.
Education is a particular and private concern, and local for most students.
The federal debt needs to be compared to the size of the US economy; not much.
Huh??? Twice in history, the Federal Debt exceeded GDP. WW2 and now.
Education is not a waste!
In your case it was.
David,
I am betting you didn’t get any degrees in LGFBQUTMCDTKPRMWSE theory.
Young, I am sure that I did not, whatever that is…
🙂
“Because tuition was free.”
You’re lying.
Americans pay tuition at both public and private universities in Switzerland. Then pay exorbitant living expenses.
“[W]hy can’t we afford a free public education for all qualifying students?”
By what right do you force one person to pay for the education of another? By what right do you treat one person as a means to another’s ends?
“. . . unless they saddle themselves with oppressive student loan debt . . .”
So instead of saddling those who received the education, the Left wants to saddle with expenses those who did *not* receive the education.
Here’s an idea: If you want something, pay for it. Don’t loot your neighbors to pay for it.
Sam, what do Swiss pay?
“what do Swiss pay?”
When you figure that out, factor in: Confiscatory federal and local income, VAT, energy, corporate taxes.
Return On Investment (ROI)
With human rites educing and sequestering human diversity (i.e. individuals) , with shared responsibility (e.g. federal loans and relief) forcing progressive prices, with affirmative discrimination under Diversity (i.e. color judgment, class bigotry) doctrine, with transnational pressure (i.e. immigration reform including illegal aliens), with low grade degrees (e g. gender or sex-correlated attributes including sexual orientation) without a viable market, with violent movements on campus, etc., there is a progressive ROI.
N.n,
Yeah. That sums it up pretty good.
UF, obviously, you have successfully assimilated this egregious, dazing, and confusing word-salad felony perpetrated against the “Fog Factor” (i.e. “Fog Index”).

https://x.com/onestpress/status/1802449392529453194
This has to be the most idiotic of many idiotic columns on this idiotic blog for idiots.
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in U.S. colleges and universities?”
The stupidity of this question is beyond belief.
It is totally devoid of meaning.
Confidence in terms of WHAT ???
This is a classic example of a push poll, which is a negative campaigning technique, typically conducted by telephone, used to influence individuals by asking vague questions about an issue. Under the guise of an objective opinion poll, loaded questions are posed to mislead or bias the listener against a particular issue. The American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR), the American Association of Political Consultants, the Council for Marketing and Opinion Research, and the National Council on Public Polls have denounced the practice.
Here are some equally meaningful questions:
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in Wednesday?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in carrots?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in ferrets?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in doors?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in shoes?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in pencils?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in toenails?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in flowers?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in dogs?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in desks?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in underwear?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in windows?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in concrete?”
“How much confidence, if any, do you have in water?”
YAWN
LOL just think, higher education produced THAT^^^^
Personally, I have a great deal of confidence in Wednesdays, carrots, ferrets, doors, shoes, pencils, toe nails, flowers, dogs, desks, underwear, windows, and concrete. Water, I am iffy about. It depends on the source. I drink purified water to be safe.
I have confidence in the above things, because they are what they portend to be. Higher education, I am less confident in. Its meaning is slippery. Some college graduates are as dumb as a bag of hammers.
***Higher education, I am less confident in. Its meaning is slippery***
Exactly my point !!
The MEANING of higher education is slippery.
The MEANING of the question posed is also slippery.
The question means whatever the the person being questioned THINKS it means. In other words push polling.
A meaningless question was posed in a pointless poll, producing meaningless results.
If you think higher education should work for everyone, then you are obviously mistaken. There will always be failures and examples of poorly performing “graduates”. But you cannot condemn the entire system on this basis.
Where do you go if you are sick? Doctors offices and hospitals are full of the products of higher education.
Where do you go if you have a legal problem?
Who do you consult if you need a bridge to be built?
Who designed the computer or smart phone that you are using right now?
Who designed your TV?
Who designed you car?
Who designed the refinery that makes the gasoline for your car?
Who develops improved seeds for farmers, to get better crop yields?
Who develops the medication you take for your high blood pressure?
Who developed the MRI scanner that diagnoses your cancer?
Who designed the radiation device to treat your cancer?
Who designed the GPS system?
Who designed the rockets that launch communication satellites?
Who developed the devices to make the contacts or spectacles you wear?
The answer is, graduates of the higher education system.
By all means condemn them, and shut down this egregiously wasteful system.
Your comment is idiotic. The obvious issue is “How much confidence do you have in academia to properly educate students and to conduct meaningful and beneficial research?” And the answer is equally obvious. Zero confidence among knowledgeable and reasonably intelligent people. Academia today are just Marxist indoctrination camps and nothing more. They promote non-thinking and obedience to Marxist propaganda. Of course, all this is beyond understanding by idiots, as proven by your post. You are obviously a product of the very academia that intelligent Americans have no confidence in.
Since you seem to think that academia has FAILED to “properly educate students and to conduct meaningful and beneficial research”, then I suggest you stop going to a doctor when you are sick, stop taking your medications, stop using your computer, smart phone, TV, stop using your car.
I suggest you go live in a cave in the wilderness, where you will be free from all the awful Marxist improvements to life that have resulted from academically trained people.
Marxist improvement….lol
Innovation comes from SOCIAL PROGRAMS!!!!
Brilliant
Looks like somebody hit a nerve.
I am a formally proud graduate of Cornell University and Stanford University, and have been advocating against DEI and a return to full viewpoint and academic diversity for some time. Alas, the correction of the many problems in academia will take a long time. We are starting with a wider recognition of the problems. And some of the so-called DEI hires are beginning to fail and resign,…like the presidents of MIT, Harvard, and Cornell. But real change will take concerted and frankly, unprecedented actions, and leadership from the boards of our great colleges,….something those board members have never, in recent times, been called on to produce. The financial models including the now diminishing “automatic” alumni support, the shady money from foreign governments (like Qatar and China….which come with important constraints and commitments) and the very generous federal grant and tuition loan programs all need to be levered to force a return to academic excellence as the criteria for faculty and students. These universities are a US treasure we cannot squander to politically correct purposes. They are essential for our republic and our countries commitment to innovation, and excellence.
I think that “higher education” has been on a serious decline for over 50 years. For as long as I can remember (I’m in my mid-70s) there has been a difference between careers that required the academic knowledge and skills that could best be acquired in the kind of regimented, long-term, study environment provided by colleges and universities, and careers in which the ability to cite a degree conferred an air of legitimacy and exclusivity to a category of employment (so-called “profession”) that might otherwise be challenged to achieve that status. Careers of the first kind are relatively rare. The second phenomenon is more accurately known as “credentialism”. Jobs in the credentialist category also frequently require membership in a union of some kind, to further ensure that otherwise qualified individuals who have not done all of the requiired obeisance to petty authorities are denied the ability to work at their chosen jobs. Public (and many private) school teachers would be an example of that. In more recent decades, true academic achievement in colleges has been increasingly supplanted by collectivist thinking and credentialism, even in those careers that should benefit from academic excellence and diligence.
28%? Surprised it’s that high
A good start would involve taxing endowments – somehow – not a tax expert by any means
Incest is a heinous act and intellectual incest is the worst form.
The universities have done this to themselves and America and now their vile group-think runs down into elementary education like raw sewage spewing from a broken cesspool wall. However, what lies ahead for those participants in intellectual incest will even be worse: purges and eating their own kind.
Hell! I don’t have confidence in lower education. Just look at K-12 reading and math scores in Chicago and many other major cities. They keep throwing money at the government run education systems and the results are inversely proportional to the money spent.
“Higher Education” isn’t higher anymore…except for cost.
Below, Olly asked what is the Return on Investment for taxpayers, from the investment in “higher” education? That depends on the degree. For engineering and medicine, geology and hard sciences, probably a good ROI. For all the soft stuff like poli-sci, history, literature, art, marketing, education, criminology, gender, theatre, business management, etc. – not much.
The problem is White Privilege. The upper-class white folks can not conceive of their little darlings getting their hands dirty. Oh no, Little Samantha and Little Broderick must work at a desk, and have peons bring reports to them so that they can “manage” people. Sometimes that happens, but as often as not, in the private sector, Samantha and Broderick can’t cut it. They may survive in a government job, where money is not an issue. America has been able to afford this sop to the White Folks because of deficit spending, and the fact that we were the world’s reserve currency.
Well, life changed on June 9, 2024. Reserve status is no longer in legal effect. It may carry on for a while, but with the contract over, it will start to change.
@Floyd
‘For engineering and medicine, geology and hard sciences, probably a good ROI.’
Perhaps financially speaking, but those *fields* have also been captured, as have their university programs, and the net result is pretty much the same. Bad scientists, doctors, and engineers will drive us over a cliff just as handily as anyone else, and it’s already begun happening – this can’t be viewed in microcosm anymore or strictly in terms of dollars because it is very much a holistic problem with very real consequences for everyone.
People accentuating trades or similar are probably on the right track – our universities are largely a lost cause at this point. There really aren’t many exceptions.
James,
Good observation.
Someone could be a good doctor, but unethical and either not render aid to someone in need or even cause harm to someone.
UpstateFarmer-Disagree with that. You still have to be ethical or you are not a good “doctor”. You are a malpractice case waiting to happen especially if the statute of limitations in your state are long. The winds change and then mischief tends to not pay. We just have to make sure the winds do change. That comes from years of experience in quality assurance and malpractice review panels.
GEB,
I was thinking of those who would not give medical care to those who refused to take the COVID shot.
And, that one doctor who purposefully harmed a patient because the patient made a comment about her pronoun pin she was wearing.
UpstateFarmer 12:41
I hope that patient filed a complaint with police because that is assault, especially because the doctor was offended by a comment. Part of being a “good” doctor is having a thick skin. I would have fired that Doc on the spot. Better yet is to refuse to cover their call, then they can end up taking call 24 hrs / day 7 days a week.
GEB,
The good professor had a column on it, somewhere around here. She was put on some kind of admin leave over the incident. She bragged about it on social media.
The people running academia and newspapers have no interest in changing, even when faced with the destruction of their institutions. They are complete ideologues with zero understanding of or interest in objectivity. Fort them, it is better to rule in hell than serve in heaven. .
True, BUT – how can they change, as a practical matter? Assume that you had a Dean, who was sensible. Problem is, he had to pretend to be a Democrat to get the job in the first place, and now, should he “come out” – he loses this job, and his chances of landing a new one are not good at all. A lot of people in academia are stuck – the same way that a Nazi in WWII was stuck. Heck, he may realize in 1941 that Hitler was going to lose the war, and a bad person – but how could he leave the Nazi Party? How could he even voice his dissent?
Rivastigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor used for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease.
A common side effect is Freezing Phenomenon.
We are being lied to and gas lit by this administration.
Waters – Look for it in the debate. He may be getting the freezing side effect but I see no evidence that the drug is giving any beneficial effects. And he was stupid before he was ever senile.
Hard to say if he is getting benefits. He could be a slobbering blob without it.
I believe that college / university education is on a path to failure, and may be irreparable. First is loss of purpose. In the past (when I went to graduate school followed by University of Chicago (now Booth) school of business, The purpose was to educate and to reward those who attained even excelling that purpose. Today we see university leaders chosen based on their pronounced commitment to DEI. Actually Chicago Booth stands out holding to its commitment to excellence… ranked #1 by both Forbes and The Economist, U.S. News & World Report; U.S. News ranked Chicago Booth executive MBA program #1 and its part-time program #1 in the U.S.
They’ve really built an impressive business model. First, convince everyone; parents, students and businesses, that the path to a great legacy, with wealth, fame, status, must go through higher education. Make getting loans to pay for it very easy. That secures demand. Second, get guaranteed financial investments from the government (public funds); student loans, grants. That guarantees payment for whatever is supplied. Endless demand and guaranteed revenue Nicely played.
What is the ROI for taxpayers?
OLLY,
“What is the ROI for taxpayers?”
Indoctrinated baristas with a mountain of debt they took loans they are crying about, for a useless degree that does not pay anything and no one will hire them for.
Okay, so how do I “opt out” of this program?
So, for-profit “universities” like pheonix and school companies like Corinthian and Trump university were not scamming students with supposedly high hiring rates with their “degrees” were not a factor?
Taxpayers don’t pay as much into higher education than they used to. States have been cutting funding to higher education for years. When they cut state funding tuition goes up. In the 60’s and 70’s a much greater percentage of university funding came from states and it is what made college or university affordable. Now with much lower percentages and still shrinking state funding tuition cost continue to rise making a student loan not only necessary, but a requirement for the majority of those who want to go to higher education institutions. Who benefits from the loans? Private equity firms of course. It’s guaranteed government loans and they love the fact that students will be paying off those loans for years after graduation. To them it’s a reliable income stream. To reduce dependence on student loans states must increase their percentage funding so tuition costs become lower. The whole point of STATE universities and colleges was that states funded the majority of the institution so it’s affordable for all residents who wish to attend.
“Taxpayers don’t pay as much into higher education than they used to.”
“How have higher education expenditures changed over time?
From 1977 to 2021, in 2021 inflation-adjusted dollars, state and local government spending on higher education increased from $116 billion to $311 billion (168 percent increase). “
Does anyone still believe anything George Moron says?
S. Meyer,
Of course we do not.
That is why I just scroll past all his comments. Not worth the time reading.
I do read your responses as they are excellent take downs of the moron and worth a read.
Thank you, Upstate. I am trying to help George. If someone doesn’t do it, George will live the rest of his life as a fool. He acts as if he doesn’t care, but I noted that George did more research recently than before. Unfortunately, George still screwed up the data. He knows he is lacking, so he remains angry at you and others because you have it, and he doesn’t.
S. Meyer,
I commend you on your efforts, but I feel it may be in vain. He clearly has drank the woke leftists kool-aid to the point he is drunk on it.
Upstate, I have no doubt you are correct because George is a mean spiteful person, so first he has to learn how to be a decent person. Then, perhaps, my words will have some effect. It is also a warning to other mean and spiteful people not to be stupid.
S. Meyer, better than what you offer. George is referring to per student state expenditures, although for this low-intellect crowd he should have said so. So divide your centibillions by the number of students in 1977 and 2021, hmm?
(Goes away muttering about ignoramuses…)
David, George wrote a wordy word salad, a combination of mistruths and truths. Since George is George, he doesn’t understand how one idea relates to the next, so no one but you seems able to interpret his gibberish.
Is your specialty diving into gibberish, creating more gibberish?
The problem with universities is the problem with all institutions — people. An institution is only as good as the people who control it, whether it is a university, a church, a government, or a military. So the first thing to do is to figure out what went wrong with an institution’s system of recruiting and promoting. For example, in journalism, rather than an apprenticeship in the newsroom, reporters now enter by obtaining degrees from schools of journalism, as Joel Kotkin notes in the attached link. As someone else has already noted, the cost of university has also changed who goes to university, so rather than kids from working class and lower middle class families, the same people who graduate with a degree in journalism, now do so with degrees in history, social sciences, and other disciplines. Zero diversity, but lots of group think. Administrators at universities are no longer the best scholars; they are professional managers or those faculty who would rather shuffle papers and manipulate people than teach and publish. So there is a gap between faculty and administrators. Add in affirmative action, grant money, ridiculously high tuition (in part the result of overbuilding and too many highly paid administrators), a reduction in permanent faculty (replaced by temporary faculty and teaching assistants), and other factors which tend to corrupt faculty and administrators and undermine good teaching and objective scholarship, and you have today’s university.

Could that 28% be those who either work in academia or service that industry?
Turley is in academia and when there is a poll saying that Americans have little trust in academia he concludes they mean others in academia rather than him.
That is called “they could not mean me” bias.
Where did he say that?
Funny i have never heard that term.
Thats called “just makin’ shit up” bias.
😂
