    The document discusses an article that proposes a new way to rank colleges based on the percentage of students who vote in local and midterm elections, rather than just factors like endowment size and enrollment rates. The author believes this could help students interested in civic engagement and activism choose schools that best support political involvement. Tracking student voter rates would give prospective students additional information about a school's culture before applying.

    Rating Colleges by Student Activism

    In “A New Way to Rank Colleges: What Percentages of Students Vote” author Karen

    Gross discusses our current flawed ranking system and the emerging idea of ranking colleges not

    only by endowment size and enrollment rates, but also by ranking them by tracking the number

    of students who actively vote in local and midterm elections. Goss feels that if we had access to

    that information new students who want to take an active role in their community and wish to

    effect real change would be able to decide what school best handles and supports student politics

    and activism before they apply.
