The Trump administration is going after the National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement, a 13-year running nonpartisan research group that tracks student voting rates across more than 1,000 college and university campuses. NSLVE essentially tells college campuses how many of their students voted in a given election, without anybody’s individual data or details about vote choices. “NSLVE is a longitudinal nonpartisan study that seeks to understand whether students vote, not who they vote for,” reads the Tufts’ statement. Advertisement“All data received by Tufts from the Clearinghouse are anonymized, and NSLVE’s reports include only de-identified, aggregated data about overall student voting trends,” says the university. The National Student Clearinghouse announced it is cutting ties with NSLVE, effective March 27, citing its commitment to following federal privacy laws.
