11. Restoring Trust: Can Higher Education Win Back America?

Public trust in higher education is declining, and the implications for colleges, universities, accreditors, and policymakers are profound.

In this episode of Accreditation Insights, we sat down with Jeremy C. Young to discuss The Trust Agenda: A Framework for Advancing Public Trust in Higher Education, a new report from the American Association of Colleges and Universities that explores why confidence in higher education has eroded and what institutional leaders can do to rebuild it.

We discussed:

The Trust Agenda

The factors driving the decline in public trust

Why institutional innovation matters now more than ever

How colleges and universities can better communicate their value

What accreditation and accountability can contribute to restoring confidence

This is an important conversation for anyone concerned about the future of higher education and the institutions that serve our students and communities.

Listen, subscribe, and join the conversation as we explore what it will take to strengthen trust and advance the mission of higher education in a rapidly changing world.
