They discuss the Education Department's revised FAQ on DEI policies, newly confirmed Secretary Linda McMahon's plans for the department, and the Trump administration's increasing use of federal funding to pressure institutions. The conversation also covers ongoing research funding disruptions, the potential for a government shutdown, and heightened federal investigations into campus protests.  Send suggestions, links, and questions to @ACEducation on X or Bluesky or email [email protected].
