"The Varying Degrees annual survey takes a deep look at Americans’ views on higher education. Due to a global pandemic and America’s shifting political climate, the importance of trustworthy information about perceptions of colleges and universities has been essential to informing policymakers, educators, and the public at large to better understand these changes and identify fruitful ways to respond to them. NORC and New America will continue to work together to better understand this complex and often-changing higher education landscape." – Erin Knepler
