As the cost of higher education has soared in recent decades,
universities have attracted more scrutiny about the value of a
four-year degree.

Now, the Trump administration is taking those questions to the
next level with a set of policies that scales back the federal
government’s student loan program.

Ron Lieber, who writes about personal finance for The New York
Times, explains what the new changes are, and how they might
reshape higher education in America.

Guest: Ron Lieber, the Your Money columnist for
The New York Times, writes about everything from retirement
savings and college tuition to credit reports and taxes.
