Elizabeth Howard joined ACE in May 2016 as an assistant analyst, providing research and program support for ACE’s Division of Learning and Engagement. Prior to joining ACE, Howard worked as a graduate teaching assistant at the College of William and Mary. She has also worked as an editorial and research assistant, as well as providing administrative support for education programs. She is interested in issues of diversity and equity in higher education.
In February of this year, ACE fielded a national survey of college and university presidents to better understand their thoughts and experiences with the pressing issues of free speech and campus inclusion. Comparing our findings with Knight and Gallup’s 2017 survey of college students on the First Amendment, it may be that campus leaders and their students are more aligned on these issues than we believe or the media often depicts.
Earlier this year, ACE’s Center for Policy Research and Strategy distributed the survey for the eighth edition of the American College President Study (ACPS), which was first administered in 1986. Across three decades, the ACPS has earned a reputation as a one-of-a-kind research tool that presents a unique and comprehensive portrait of the presidency and the higher education leadership pipeline.
