Survey: What Republican voters want for higher ed

A recent survey by Third Way and GS Strategy Group revealed that Republican voters view college degrees positively, with 63% affirming their value. Trade schools and community colleges are especially favored, with 91% and 87% support, respectively. However, there's a strong desire for reforms in accountability and affordability, with 87% advocating for increased oversight of higher education institutions. A significant majority believes the federal government should regulate transparency and ensure educational institutions provide a meaningful return on investment for students.

The survey demonstrates that while Republican voters value four-year degrees, they are increasingly demanding accountability and affordability from higher education institutions.

Among Republican voters, there is a significant push for reform in higher education, focusing on transparency, assessment of degree value, and preventing fraud in the industry.
