Skyrocketing costs of attendance, declining enrollment, the advent of artificial intelligence, campus debates about free speech, and a crackdown on diversity initiatives: Today's universities are in a pickle. Adding to this pickle are President Trump's threats and actions on slashing research funding — the financial lifeline of modern universities. Last month, the Chronicle of Higher Education highlighted a new survey of a diverse group of university presidents who were asked if they “believe the Trump Administration is at war with higher education” — and 94% answered they strongly agree.Luigi and Bethany speak to one academic leader with deep experience at the heart of these debates: Nicholas Dirks, former Chancellor of UC Berkeley (2013-2017) and author of the book, "City of Intellect: The Uses and Abuses of the University." Together, the three of them discuss which idea of the university is still valid in the 21st century, how fundraising changed the governance of higher education, and how universities might navigate the challenges of Trump's second administration.Revisit our previous episodes:Universities and Politics: Should They Mix? with Hanna GrayThe Economics of Student Protests

In the 2nd youth led forum of the year, we will focus on how racial inequities in education are deeply entrenched in the American school system, affecting not just individual students but the broader landscape of educational achievement and opportunity.rnrnResearch shows that schools with higher concentrations of students from marginalized racial and ethnic groups are more likely to experience underfunding, overcrowded classrooms, and limited access to advanced coursework and resources. This systemic inequality can contribute to lower graduation rates and diminished college and career readiness across the board, impacting the ability of schools to produce well-rounded, critical-thinking scholars.rnrnAccording to a report by the U.S. Department of Education, schools serving predominantly minority students receive roughly $23 billion less in funding each year than those serving predominantly white students. These disparities not only hinder the academic potential of individual students but also compromise the overall quality of education in America, limiting the nation's ability to cultivate diverse, informed, and capable leaders for the future.rnrnThis forum will dive into the root causes of these inequities, their impact on students of all backgrounds, and what can be done to create a more equitable and inclusive educational system.

Want to heal the world? Start by healing yourself first.   For this Women of Color Rise episode, Analiza talks with Sarah White, Oglala Lakota and Executive Director of the South Dakota Education Equity Coalition (SDEEC) and 2019 Bush Fellow.    Raised to value spirituality and education, Sarah saw how the system was failing her people with indigenous people falling further behind in the achievement gap. She decided to found SDEEC, a grassroots movement of community stakeholders committed to promoting diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning for future generations.    After years of working, Sarah noticed that her response to coping with trauma was achievement to give her a sense of self-worth. She realized that if she wanted to heal her community and world, she needed to start by heal herself.   Sarah shares strategies to heal: Develop awareness of where we find your self-worth. For Sarah, she realized that she had been seeking worthiness through achievement. She believed that achieving would lead to wellness and being happy. This pattern of thinking set her up on a never ending cycle of looking outward instead of inward. Notice that when we focus on outward success, we are the furthest away from ourselves. When we are on the hamster wheel of striving for outward achievement, we lose sight of our own belief in ourselves, that we are enough as we are. We can come back to ourselves to heal. This includes self-care, even basic things like not skipping meals and drinking water. Let go of martyrdom. Sarah shares that women generally more often than men suffer and martyr ourselves, falsely believing that it's going to contribute to some sort of prosperity. But that's never going to be sustainable. The key is to nurture our spirits, focus on healing, and recognize that this is going to be synonymous with the healing that we need to see within our professional work as well.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/ep-67-heal-the-world-by-healing-yourself-with-sarah-white

In an ideal world, every student would have an equal chance to succeed and thrive in the education system. However, the concepts of equality and equity reveal that achieving this goal requires more than just providing the same resources to all students. Episode 246 of Class Dismissed will explore the differences between school equality and equity and the importance of promoting equity to ensure fairness and inclusion in education. Equality Equality in education refers to treating all students equally, irrespective of their backgrounds, abilities, or circumstances. It emphasizes providing all students equal opportunities, resources, and access to education. While this approach may seem fair, it fails to acknowledge that not all students have the exact needs or face similar barriers to learning. Equity Equity in Education: Equity, on the other hand, recognizes and addresses the diverse needs of students, aiming to level the playing field and provide everyone with the support necessary to succeed. It involves distributing resources and opportunities based on individual requirements, ensuring that students receive what they need to achieve their full potential. In an equitable education system, students from disadvantaged backgrounds are given extra support to overcome systemic barriers and bridge opportunity gaps. Our expert guest on this Episode is Jeff Duncan-Andrade, PH.D. Andrade is a teacher and professor of Latina/o Studies and Race and Resistance Studies at San Francisco State University. He's also the author of Equality or Equity: Toward a Model of Community-Responsive Education.

“For me, education was something my mother always told me, ‘Once you have it, they can never take it away from you and that could be your golden ticket,'” he explained. Jackson found out the hard way how a lack of funds can impact a student's ability to pursue their career of choice. While studying to be an astronaut, he was forced to make the hard decision of finding a different major, which is when the military presented him with an option to still become a pilot — just in the marine core. While the military wasn't his greatest passion, he did accomplish his dream of learning to fly, and it also helped him discover his calling as a people's person while on Capitol Hill. After a successful career in the marine core rising ranks and even creating his own job overseeing all legislative affairs for bases west of the Mississippi, Jackson transitioned out of the military to focus on those people skills, specifically education. While in California, he worked with government and education leaders to help traditionally at-risk youth succeed, like improving early childhood education measures. One such initiative he is most proud of is founding the Black Men for Education Equity group to prevent the disproportionate suspension and expulsion of African American boys between the ages of 0-5. A few resources that Jackson believes everyone should read or listen to are: The leadership philosophy book, Call Sign Chaos, by former U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis The civil rights literature and Nautilus Award Winner book, Nobody, by Marc Lamont Hill Recordings of the nation's greatest leaders via the Master Class platform Jackson leaves viewers with a story of his biggest moment of failure, which ultimately helped formulate his favorite piece of advice: “In those moments where you're preparing to make a decision, specifically when you're anxious … take a step back and pause.”
