Ep. 159: Uncertainty, Disruption and Campus Mental Health
How the political climate and economic uncertainty are increasing the mental health challenges on campuses.
In the run-up to the presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, Inside Higher Ed’s editor in chief, Sara Custer, and news editor, Katherine Knott, discuss what we know and what we don’t know about President-elect Trump’s policy agenda and how it could affect universities and colleges.
Katherine and Sara discuss what sources are telling IHE reporters about education secretary nominee Linda McMahon and who the key players in the Republican-led Senate and House are. It’s anyone’s guess what the administration’s policy priorities will be, but Katherine shares what she and Inside Higher Ed journalists will be looking for to get a sense of which way the wind might be blowing for higher ed on Capitol Hill.
Hosted by Sara Custer, editor in chief of Inside Higher Ed.
