Following insights gleaned from a previous study the authors conducted, and to encourage greater transparency in the quantitative research design of higher education studies, the authors tested which institution-level variables found within the activism literature can be retained when modeling student activism behavior at multiple levels (Morgan, Zilvinskis, & Dugan, 2019). Their research questions included: Which institution-level variables found within activism literature can be retained when modeling student activism behavior at multiple levels? How do the retained institution-level variables relate to individual activism behaviors?
