This lecture takes a substantive examination of the U.S. Department of Education—how it got to where it is today and what needs to change. We’ll dig into the policies that have shaped higher education, the challenges we’re facing now, and what a better path forward could look like.
Grounded in both research and practical engagement with education and higher education policy and leadership, this talk invites thoughtful discussion about the future of where and how these federal education responsibilities will be adapted by 50 different states.
