Rite of Passage: Students Become Voters

The American Association of State Colleges & Universities sponsored a report, released last April, called Graduating Students Into Voters.  Ideas42 prepared the report, a 25 page pdf, outlining reasons college students may not vote (not sure of the process, don't know how to register, feel disconnected), and how to increase political participation among college students.  It is very interesting reading.  (The pdf can be found here:  http://www.aascu.org/programs/ADP/StudentsintoVoters.pdf

In my house voting is a requirement of anyone over 18 living at home or taking parental money for college.  It's a form of rent.
