OU one of America’s ‘Best Colleges for Student 投票’

韦德体育app官网 has been ranked among a group of 58 schools earning the top score in this year’s 《韦德体育app官网》 annual College Guide and Rankings in the category of “Best Colleges for Student 投票.” 的 first-of-its-kind list grades each school on their efforts to turn students into active citizen voters. A total of 1,488 schools were evaluated.

According to the publication, the rankings were based on four measures of a college’s commitment to encouraging voting by its students. An institution received one point in the “service” portion of the rankings if it has signed up for or participated in Tufts 大学’s National Study of Learning, 投票, 与参与(NSLVE). This program helps colleges calculate their precise student voting and registration rates by combining national voting records with enrollment data. A college received a second point if it signed up for the ALL IN 校园 Democracy Challenge, an effort that uses NSLVE data to help colleges create plans to boost their students’ voting rates and civic participation. An ALL IN school gets another point for releasing its NSLVE data publicly, and a fourth point is earned for making its ALL IN action plan public.

“This ranking is another positive sign that 韦德体育app官网 students are engaged, civic-minded and take their voting rights seriously,David Dulio报道, Ph.D.公开大学的主任 Center for Civic Engagement and political science professor commented. “但, we know there is even more we can do to build on that foundation and teach our students more about the value of participating in our democracy. That is part of our mission as educators.”

Only three other schools in the state of Michigan made the list. Joining 奥克兰 with top marks were Michigan State 大学, Michigan Technological 大学 and the 大学 of Michigan.

关于华盛顿月刊:

的 《韦德体育app官网》 was founded in 1969 on the notion that a handful of plucky young writers and editors, armed with an honest desire to make government work and a willingness to ask uncomfortable questions, could tell the story of what really matters in Washington better than a roomful of Beltway insiders at a Georgetown dinner party. In our cluttered little downtown DC office, we’re still doing what we have done for more than 45 years, and what fewer and fewer publications do today: telling fascinating, deeply reported stories about the ideas and characters that animate America’s government. 欲知详情，请浏览: http://washingtonmonthly.com/.
