Colleges Urged to Fight Gen Z Political Apathy

Original: Why is Gen Z politically apathetic, and how can colleges inspire civic engagement?

A growing debate is underway about why Gen Z shows signs of political apathy and what role universities should play in encouraging civic engagement. Commentators point to disaffection with institutions and barriers to participation among young voters, arguing that colleges can counter this through civic education, campus programming and opportunities for students to practise democratic involvement. The question of how to re-engage young people in politics is drawing attention from educators and civic organisations alike.

Why now: Concerns about low youth political engagement are prompting debate over whether universities can help re-energise young voters.
