In this episode, Jeff Selingo and Michael Horn bring back the reporters roundtable format with Hilary Burns (The Boston Globe), Doug Belkin (The Wall Street Journal), and Karin Fischer (The Chronicle of Higher Education) to explore how the Trump administration is reshaping higher education. The conversation covers why elite universities like Harvard are being singled out, how SEC and heartland institutions are seizing opportunities, and what declining international enrollment means for universities’ budgets and academic pipelines.
Fischer noted, “We’re seeing international education — and particularly international students — be politicized in a way they really haven’t been before.”
