Here’s How Colleges Can Get More Involved in Elections — and Not Just in the Midterms
By Claire Hansen AUGUST 09, 2018
College-age voter turnout is low. Political discord is high. What role can colleges play in the discussion around elections, and how can they stay active in the issues those discussions represent?

A new report released on Thursday from the Institute for Democracy & Higher Education at Tufts University’s Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life, tries to answer that question. The report draws on years of research, including IDHE’s data on college voter registration and turnout, said Nancy Thomas, director of the institute.

The report, titled “Election Imperatives,” describes 10 things college leaders can do not only to improve civic engagement on campus, but to use elections to further educational goals — things like increasing classroom discussions and empowering student activism.

The report is endorsed by numerous higher-education groups, including the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the Associate of American Colleges & Universities.

Clearly permissible for a nonprofit, right?
