Ep. 152: Higher Ed Now and What’s Next
Discussing the findings of the Inside Higher Ed/Hanover Research 2025 Survey of College and University Presidents.
The partisan divide in the U.S. seems unbridgeable at times, and many issues in higher education are deeply dividing politicians. But with the 2024 election just days away, there’s a remarkable amount of alignment around the importance of workforce development and training and how to strengthen it.
A new episode of The Key explores the relative consensus between the parties and its implications. Joining the discussion are Amanda Winters, program director for postsecondary education at the National Governors Association, and Michelle Van Noy, director of the Education and Employment Research Center at Rutgers University’s School of Management and Labor Relations.
They examine how this alignment around workforce training is affecting policy development at the state and federal levels, and how November’s election might change what happens in the next few years, if at all.
Hosted by Doug Lederman, editor and co-founder of Inside Higher Ed. Episode is sponsored by the Gates Foundation.
