Navigating Trump's Higher Ed Shakeup
What could be the impact of a torrent of Trump Administration initiatives targeting higher education, and how should education leaders and students respond? In this episode, we focus on the potential fallout of dismantling the the U.S. Department of Education, the far-reaching efforts to banish diversity, equity and inclusion programs in both K-12 and higher education, and what might we expect when it comes to college affordability and student loan debt in the coming years. In this episode, host Lande Ajose talks with James Kvaal, Underrsecretary of Education in the Biden Administration, and Danielle Douglas-Gabriel, higher education reporter for the Washington Post covering college affordability and student financial aid. This episode was recorded just before the Trump Administration cut off $400 million in federal aid to Columbia University.
