American confidence in higher education declines again

Original: American views of higher ed decline, once again

New commentary highlights that American public confidence in higher education has fallen once more, continuing a multi-year downward trend. Analyst Bryan Alexander argues the decline reflects ongoing concerns over cost, political polarization around universities, and questions about the value of a degree. Observers say the sustained erosion poses mounting challenges for colleges already facing enrollment pressures and funding debates.

Why now: Fresh survey data and commentary renew debate over why trust in universities keeps falling.
