Universities Lost Public Trust. They're Finally Taking Notice.

A new report from Yale University sheds light on declining public trust in higher education – and the responsibility universities must take for what’s happened.

That’s a start. And the report holds lessons far beyond the Yale campus. 

In recent years, it’s become impossible to ignore the antisemitism, lack of free speech and ideological conformity at many of our leading educational institutions. 

Throw in the fact that inflation-adjusted tuition has roughly doubled at four-year public and private schools in the past 30 years, and it’s easy to see why more Americans are second-guessing whether heading off to college is the sound investment it once seemed.
