We first note that hand-wringing about the decline in US college enrollments has mistakenly linked such declines to the price of four-year colleges.
But the decline is entirely driven by two-year community colleges (and by for-profit colleges). The four-year sector is the dog that didn't bark.

Social scientists have professional incentives to focus their work on what is _novel_ to people in their field, who they view as their core audience. The mental switch to be made is that what is _obvious_ to people in your field is often not obvious to ordinary citizens, and hence is valuable.

1. As almost every research shows, young men have NOT turned to the right — compared to older men. In fact, they moved slightly to the left compared to older men.
Young WOMEN have turned to the left compared to older women.
Recent graph on Trump approval provides good example.
