Companies expect new employees to be comfortable and competent using AI but employers surveyed said graduates “are far from that point.” Educators are seen as the so

A staggering one-third of the American population reports having no confidence in higher education. Once viewed as the gateway to opportunity and upward mobility, colleges and universities are now in a trust crisisincreasingly perceived as inaccessible, unaffordable, and disconnected from the realities of today’s learners.

How does student satisfaction at HBCUs compare to institutions nationally? Student satisfaction is a critical component for student success. At RNL, we have observed that satisfaction can vary based on the institution type. Student satisfaction levels at a four-year private may differ from a four-year public. In addition, we have seen that students at schools with a specific identity or mission (such as Christian colleges) may also have different levels of satisfaction.
