The mood on Capitol Hill is reshaping the higher education landscape. The wavering economy and new Administration will deliver an immediate and lasting effect on higher education, which begs the question, how can institutions benefit?

Now What? Political Implications of the New Administration on Higher Education will address what’s happening within the U.S. Department of Education, what post-secondary institutions can anticipate from the current administration and why institutions need to view student retention in a new light. Preeminent educational authorities William Hansen and Scott Fleming will address the primary opportunities and challenges facing institutions, including:

  • Implications of new interest to improve student retention and completion rates
  • Side effects of the Budget Reconciliation Act by school vertical
  • Disposition of the U.S. Department of Education and new appointees
  • Impact of K-12 longitudinal data systems being applied to post-secondary institutions
