Episode 32: What Higher Education Can Expect From the Biden Administration

The Biden-Harris platform unveiled during the 2020 presidential campaign suggests that higher education will be a primary focus of the new administration. ACE Senior Vice President Terry Hartle joins the hosts to talk about what we can expect to see come January, including attempts to double Pell Grants and make public college free for middle-income families and roll back a range of Trump-era regulations and orders such as Title IX and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. They also discuss the need to pass a comprehensive COVID relief package, ideally in the lame duck congressional session.
