Survey research firms are always sampling people’s opinions, and college students are often their subjects. In today’s Martin Center article, Kaitlyn Potts writes about the results of a survey done by Vector and it’s a mixed bag.

She writes:

The students who participated in the study completed pre-course surveys on alcohol abuse, sexual-assault prevention, mental well-being, and/or “Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging.” Though the Covid Cohort clearly retain a progressive belief system where such topics are concerned, their attitudes have nevertheless moderated in a measurable way.

Doesn’t sound bad, but as Potts reports, the survey firm found the slight attitudinal changes worrisome and recommends that schools intervene to steer them back toward “the progressive party line.” Lots of people are heavily invested in that.
