Protests on over 100 campuses fueled by pro-Palestinian sentiment have strained public trust in higher education, notably among Republican parents, according to the SimpsonScarborough study.
Republican parents were the most affected group by the protests, with nearly half experiencing a decrease in trust, while Democratic and Independent parents showed less impact on their views of higher education.
Columbia, Harvard, and UCLA were prominent in the protests, with their leaders appearing before Congress about campus antisemitism; some institutions like Emerson College claim protests led to negative effects like decreased enrollment.
