sas Kc potagel vlna?
Over the course of years there have been both a rise and fall of polities in our society. The
question is with higher education becoming the new talk in our generation, does the idea of politics
play a role in higher education? I am interested in this topic because throughout presidential
campaigns the idea of higher education has been brought up in several different ways. The idea of
free college has brought rise to the libertarians while the majority of conservatives are against the
idea because of the effects it will bring to the American education system and budget. If we look
at two universities: one that is private and one that is public we can simply pull the idea of politics
out in.a very easy way, my goal is too not be simple, but go more into depth to signify how politics
are playing a role. Looking at Liberty University one of the most known private universities within
the United States can be said to be high in politics due to the idea of religion and how it plays
alongside the majority of conservatives.
Whe long traditions of inquiring higher education changes have begun to continue to make an
instant impact within the American education system. The significant change of politics in higher
education changed in the early 1990’s when the republican party took congressional majority for
the first time in a very long time. This is when the previous federal agenda of higher education
became threatened due to the change of party majority. The idea of federal aid, grants, loans, and
the opportunity for students to obtain a higher education was beginning to change for what some
would say both good and bad.There are many things that need to be brought into play to make this topic effective and
relevant to the past, present, and future of higher education. Topics that will be discussed
throughout this paper are the following: Who affects the outcomes of politics in higher education,”
(hat determines how politics play a role in education$ When does politics play a role in higher
eclucaton (whether that be private or public universitios~a what geographical region does higher
education play the largest rolg, Wdes the idea of common core play alongside politics in education?
lastly, with the idea of immigration heavily weighted in American Politics right now oes that
play a role in significant role in statistics of how immigrants are granted acceptance in higher
education?
