The article discusses perspectives from both conservative and liberal commentators on university policies and young voter engagement. Conservatives argue that accompanying federal funding with strict administrative and tuition reforms is necessary for universities like Columbia. They advocate for policies ensuring more responsible fiscal management. Meanwhile, liberals note a shift in youth political engagement, highlighting declining voter turnout among younger demographics and a surprising lean toward Republican candidates. This new trend raises concerns for the Democratic Party about reinvigorating interest among young voters in future elections.
"It's time to require colleges and universities that get so much federal aid to cut the administrative bloat; set a maximum administrator-to-student ratio and enforce it."
"Election turnout in November trended downward for young adults; when the youth did vote, they leaned Republican. Trump won a majority of those under the age of 26 except women of color."
