Are cord-low share of Americans say a college education is “very important,”raising new questions about whether universities are losing public trust as students and families weigh the cost of a degree.
 
A recent Gallup poll found that 31%of U.S. adults now view college as “very important,” which is down from 70% in 2013 and below the 36% Gallup recorded when it first asked the question in 1978.
 
The report also revealed that the share of Americans who say college is “not too important” has climbed to 29%, nearly matching the share who say it is “very important.” In 2013, just 6% said college was “not too important.”
 
The decline spans across major demographic groups. Gallup noted that there have been double-digit declines in the percent of women, Democrats, people of color,and college graduates who view college as “very important.”
 
The decline comes as higher education faces scrutiny over tuition rates, political agendas, grade inflation, artificial intelligence, and whether colleges are adequately preparing students for the modern workforce.

TheHershey Co. has added a new disclaimer to Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkinsfollowing a legal battle overclaims that images on the packaging did not match the actual candy.
 Packagesof the seasonal treat now feature the words "Carving not on actualproduct" next to an image of the pumpkin-shaped Reese’s withjack-o'-lantern-style eyes and a mouth, according to product images on the official Hersheyland website.
 Thedisclaimer appears in small text on the front and back of the packaging.
 Itreplaces previous language that read, "Decorating Suggestion,"according to court documents.
 Thechange comes after Hershey won the dismissal of a proposed class-action lawsuitbrought by two Florida consumers. Theyalleged they were misled because the Reese’s pumpkins they bought did notinclude the decorative carvings pictured on the packaging, Reuters reportedlast month.
 U.S.District Judge Melissa Damian in Miami ruled that plaintiffs Nathan Vidal andEduardo Granados lacked legal standing to claim they overpaid for the candy.
