""This told us that we needed to be doing more to support community colleges in their efforts to engage their students," says Clarissa Unger, executive director of the Students Learn Students Vote Coalition."
"Many privacy experts, however, are skeptical of the accusations, which echo claims first raised by right-wing election activists."
"Both Tufts University and the National Student Clearinghouse maintain they have not violated the privacy law."

The turnout rate for student voters at community colleges is improving, narrowing the gap with public four-year institutions from 9 percentage points in 2020 to 3 in 2022. Clarissa Unger emphasizes the need for more support for community colleges to engage students. However, data collection for future voter turnout analysis has been halted by Tufts University due to a federal investigation into the National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement, raising concerns about student data privacy and the integrity of the study.
