"Disentangling these effects is incredibly difficult, because it requires data on attitudes over time or on people’s pre-university views and values. But two recent research papers, published within weeks of one another, attempted to work their way through this Gordian knot, and came to broadly similar conclusions: a university education does have a direct impact on someone’s political attitudes, but it is much less than you might think – and not always in the obvious direction."
