What is the future of
public higher education? Political and legal conflicts in this arena have been
front-page news in recent years. Americans are deeply divided about whether
higher education plays a positive role in this country, and only one in three
adults has earned a bachelor’s degree. This panel of leading scholars and
administrators in higher education will put these conflicts and facts in
context, addressing topics such as the First Amendment, sanctuary campuses,
student debt and higher education financing, for-profit colleges, admissions
policies, and the demographics of higher education.
Papers from this
program will be published in Fordham Urban
Law Journal.
