How Trump's 2nd Term Will Warp College Campuses

Jordan H. Davis dives into the implications of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential win for higher education and its stakeholders. Jordan begins with an instant reaction to the election outcome, likening finally losing a game to a sore loser that you’re just relieved is over (6:37), and then delves into Trump’s agenda for restructuring the Department of Education and the potential impact on student loans (11:41). The conversation moves to state-level legislation, exploring how faculty and staff migrations might intensify, and the risk of further racial and ideological segregation of across higher ed (17:27). Jordan also examines the future of HBCUs and affirmative action under Trump’s policies (28:55), and how these changes may demand new teaching approaches as students bring increasingly complex needs into classrooms (32:44).
