The Garrity Perception Survey 2018: Education

Perceptions of education swing wildly in New Mexico. Media coverage and controversy tend to be the biggest sway of favorability and trust. Another motivator of “perception” is political ideology.

For example, favorability of universities tends to dip whenever there is controversy or transition in leadership. Favorability of Universities in Southern New Mexico dipped when New Mexico State University was in the midst of a very hostile leadership transition.
