In recent weeks, the Trump administration has put the American
university system on notice.

It has pressed for changes, opened investigations — and in some
cases withheld critical funds.

Alan Blinder, who covers education in America, explains how
schools are responding to the pressure and what it might mean for
the future of higher education.

Guest: Alan Blinder, a national correspondent
for The New York Times, writing about education in America.

Background reading:

Columbia University promised changes to its protest policies,
its security practices and its Middle Eastern studies department
after the Trump administration moved to cut off $400 million in
funding.

President Trump’s battles with colleges could change American
culture for a generation.
