Fifty Years Of Black Studies; Small Colleges Fight Back
Description
It's been a busy month in higher education. And we've got everything you need to catch up on this month's episode of On Campus Radio.
First, we have an update on the ongoing fallout from Operation Varsity Blues, the sweeping investigation into allegations of fraud and bribery in college admissions at colleges across the country. We also discuss Democratic presidential candidate Senator Elizabeth Warren's sweeping proposal to cancel student loan debt for millions of Americans, provide free undergraduate tuition and fees at all public colleges and cut off federal funding for for-profit schools.
Then, we'll break down the latest in the fight to keep Hampshire College open with an interview with interim president Ken Rosenthal, about the school's plans to keep running. We'll also talk to Brian Mitchell, the former president of Bucknell University and the author of "How to Run a College."
After that, we visit Nichols College to take a look at what strategies that small, private college in Worcester County is employing to get ahead of the financial storm so many other schools are in the middle of.
