But... nobody is asking them to vote on this question, ie nobody is proposing to let the students decide on this.

Rather, the study is about the opinion of those students on certain topics, and for that, you have to ask them about their opinion.

Right...my point is why even ask?

If you asked my 6th grade classroom whether they should learn more math, they would say no because they never use math in their lives.

At some point, these students will become adults, and some of them university administrators, and then they make the rules.
