The Stories IHE Editors Are Watching
In the latest episode of The Key, Inside Higher Ed’s news and analysis podcast, IHE news editor Katherine Knott joins editor in chief Sara Custer to unpack the latest developments from the White House and the Hill and discuss how they will impact higher ed.
The senior editors cover cuts to funding for minority-serving institutions and new restrictions on international students. They also analyze where negotiated rule making on student borrowing will go and ponder what the “Compact for Academic Excellence” signals about the administration’s higher ed strategy.
Looking to the coming months, Knott shares what’s coming up on the federal policy agenda that reporters in IHE’s newsroom will be following.
