Ep. 149: Voices of Student Success: Helping Gen Z Navigate Future Careers
Examining the issues young people face as they approach the next chapter of their lives amid global changes.
We’ve turned the page on the third month of the Trump administration, and the White House has shown no signs of slowing down when it comes to actions that have direct impacts on higher education in this country.
Linda McMahon was confirmed as education secretary and has made quick work of shrinking the size and influence of her department. At the same time, the agency opened investigations into reports of antisemitism on dozens of college campuses and has threatened to withhold $400 million in federal funding from Columbia University unless it agrees to demands from the government. Also this month, President Trump signed the long-awaited executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, and international students and scholars are on edge after a series of arrests and deportations.
In this episode of The Key, Sara Custer, Course Strat's editor in chief, checks in on the latest developments in Washington with federal policy reporter Jessica Blake and news editor Katherine Knott.
