Have a topic you'd like us to discuss...just send us text!

Peter Lake discusses with host Eric Seaborg, the tension and strategic maneuvering defining the current academic landscape leading up to the election. Are the Federal gloves coming off or will the States shape the direction of higher education all while striving to maintain the essence of academic freedom? It’s a tightrope walk of political neutrality where expressing values could mean risking reputation.
Peter ventures into international waters, assessing what global higher education may look like with this new generation of students along with examining the pressures reshaping traditional faculty roles and governance models under the weight of expanding regulation. How are American universities positioning themselves on the world stage, as they confront the dual challenge of maintaining prestige while adapting to the changing appetites of education consumers? As summer approaches, we contemplate whether a renaissance awaits higher education, one poised to herald a transformative era of growth and innovation. Join us for this exploratory journey that promises to expand your understanding of the academic landscape, both at home and abroad.
