Recent exit polls indicate a significant divide in support for Trump, with college-educated voters at 42% and non-college-educated at 56%. This divide has sparked considerable concern among college presidents, particularly regarding its implications on higher education (58% concerned) and American democracy (64% concerned). The 2025 Survey of College and University Presidents reveals that leaders largely feel ineffective in addressing this divide, with just 3% believing higher education is effectively responding to public confidence erosion, highlighting a pressing need for better communication of the value of education.
"Just 3 percent think the sector has been very or extremely effective, versus not at all, somewhat or moderately effective. The leaders have a similarly dismal view of how higher education is responding to declining public confidence."
"Experts say that the diploma divide can't be decoupled from the public confidence crisis, and that both have implications for the intensifying debate over higher education's value."
