State of the States: How Higher Ed Can Build Their Future


Listen Later

In this episode, Katharine Meyer of Brookings and ACE’s Heidi Tseu join Jon Fansmith to delve into the complex landscape of state higher education governance. They explore trends such as free college approaches, the surge of anti-DEI legislation, and the impact of the Supreme Court rulings on race in admissions. They also dissect the challenges and opportunities facing higher ed around student-athletes, tenure, and state support for skilled workers. Plus, catch up on Congress, DACA, Title IX, and Pell appropriations.
