Seventy per cent of employers indicate that they have either “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in America’s higher education institutions, according to a new survey by the American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U). Another 23% indicated they had some confidence, with only 7% indicating “very little confidence”. Seventy-three per cent said the time and money spent earning a degree was either “definitely worth it” or “somewhat worth it”. The findings contrast sharply with those studies conducted among America’s general population and registered voters.
