text:  A poll released today by Gallup and the Lumina Foundation finds overall just 36% of those surveyed said they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in higher ed. More than two-thirds of those said they believe the U.S. higher ed system is headed in the wrong direction. Survey looked at respondents who either are currently enrolled in post-secondary ed programs, those previously enrolled, or those who had never enrolled. It's also important to note 94% of adults say some post-secondary credential is extremely valuable.
