Scott Jaschik, formerly of Inside Higher Ed, joins the podcast to talk about what he sees as the top 10 leading trends shaping higher education this year and his predictions for what’s ahead. But first, the hosts dive into the chaos happening in Congress this week, as the House tries to carry on without a Speaker while facing a looming shutdown. They also look at what the new gainful employment rule means for institutions and give a sneak peek at the changes ahead for the Carnegie Classifications.
