This assessment is simply not true and not based on actual data coming out real research institutions
@ideas42 did full review of behavioral science around voter participation at colleges which you can view which provides much more nuanced view: http://www.ideas42.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/ideas42-Student-Voting-Brief.pdf …

@TuftsIDHE data shows enormous variation between campuses with similar demographic profiles in similar political environments - hard to look at this data and say campus culture doesn't matter https://idhe.tufts.edu/sites/default/files/NSLVE%20Report%202012-2016-092117%5B3%5D.pdf …
For example, @NorthwesternU has voting rate MORE THAN 10% higher than @HarvardIOP and 20% higher than @Stanford and @UChiPolitics despite serving relatively similar campus populations. Do campuses really have no agency in this?https://news.northwestern.edu/stories/2017/september/student-voter-registration-rate/ …
Am generally tired of political pundit class only paying attention to the stakeholders in our democracy that they have easy access to and knowledge of (e.g. parties, politicians, etc). These stakeholders definitely matter, but there are so many other actors with agency too.
How can we say candidates (& strategies) aren’t factor in voter turnout? Do you believe youth turnout would have been same regardless of whether it was Obama, Sanders or Clinton on ballot? Some make youth priority, others don’t. I know research well, our data cited in report.
Why would these explanations be mutually exclusive? Candidates generate some level of enthusiasm. Actions by campuses (and probably others) can still have impact, even if the strength of the effect will be determined in part by interest in the candidates.
