College Students' Support for Wealth Redistribution: Evidence from a National Survey
Lyke, Austin
Journal of College and Character, v21 n3 p171-185 2020
Drawing on national survey data, this article analyzes the relationship between student demographics, political ideology, educational expenses, and group experiences in college and support for wealth redistribution. Findings show that liberal/leftist political ideologies, financing college through on-campus work and loans, and participation in racial/ethnic organizations in college positively predict student support for raising taxes on the wealthy. Right-wing ideologies, working off-campus, having parental financial support, and playing intercollegiate sports are noteworthy negative predictors. Implications for higher education administrators and the political discourse are discussed.
