"If we provide college students with nonpartisan news and analysis as part of the curriculum, they will be more likely to vote in November..."
Is the instrution the students are recieving now being screened for non-partisan content? Hell no. Everyone knows that most instructors at virtually any university are leftists, even the students. It would choke most of them to say something non-partisan about Trump or the Republicans, and certainly you know that.
Also, according to the Califonia DPH, only 1.5% of the deaths from Covid-19 in the Golden State are among people 18-34, so college students are in fact not in great mortal danger. They know that too.
