Which one is correct "this" or "that"?

I recall that when I was a fourth-year student, we were asked to fill out a questionnaire with the aim of improving professors’ performances and the quality of the courses they had been teaching. This/That was because many students had expressed their disapproval of their professors’ teaching ability, productivity, behaviour, and level of enthusiasm.

I would use "That" there.
