[civsa] Politics & Concerns of Visitors

[Jayne Reimel]

Hello everyone,

I'm in the process of collecting data regarding how the concerns of prospective students/parents have (or have not) changed over the past year and half as it relates to our current political climate. I'm looking to get some more insight from a non-UC perspective and hear some of the comments or questions you all have been faced with.

1. Do you find counselors/tour guides being asked questions about the political climate on campus? This could also include free speech policies or student activism. If so, what types of questions are they asking?


2. How do you train either professional staff or student staff to handle these types of questions or concerns?


3. Have you been faced with the "I think your campus is too liberal/conservative for me/my student" comment before? If so, how do you respond?


4. For those of you who have been in your role longer than 2 years, have you observed any changes in the content or tone of questions that students/parents are asking about politics on campus since the 2016 election?


I'd love to hear any feedback you may have!
