Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Trump has pledged to take resources from existing universities to fund a new free online American Academy and to overhaul the current accreditation system to support more vocational and for-profit training bodies.
55% : This month the House of Representatives narrowly rejected a bill that would make it easier to strip non-profit organisations, including colleges, of their tax-exempt status, but this remained "the nuclear option," he added.
46% : Trump targeted colleges repeatedly on the campaign trail, saying in one video last year: "We spend more money on higher education than any other country, and yet they're turning our students into communists and terrorists and sympathisers of many, many different dimensions.
44% : She added, however: "We are fairly certain that President Trump will work towards enacting some kind of tax legislation in 2025.
39% : Trump last year said that colleges pursuing positive discrimination and diversity initiatives which he called "unlawful discrimination" could be fined "up to the entire amount of their endowment".
38% : In his first term, Trump imposed a largely symbolic 1.4 per cent tax on net investment income generated by colleges with at least 500 students and endowment assets exceeding $500,000 per student.
27% : Trump has pledged to tax university's endowments, cut federal research funding, squeeze the income they receive from students, and fine them for their stances on "culture war" issues.
