Aired October 29, 2025 The Trump administration’s “Compact for Academic Excellence” faces near-universal rejection from the nation’s leading universities, even as the White House continues to look for takers. Hosts Mushtaq Gunja, Jon Fansmith, and Sarah Spreitzer unpack why the compact’s demands are legally shaky and practically unworkable. Then they turn to UVA’s separate civil rights settlement, what it signals for Title VI enforcement, and how DOJ’s growing role is reshaping oversight.

They also examine the surge in international student visa revocations and the escalating legal fight over federal research funding cuts at the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy.

One important approach is to offer credit for prior learning (CPL), which recognizes and awards college credit for learning acquired outside formal education through military service, work experience, informal learning, volunteer activities, or other life experiences.
Join us to learn how to leverage a robust inventory of over 360 state and system CPL policy examples to foster equitable access, drive credential completion, and support adult learners’ success. Representatives from three states will share their specific motivations to advance CPL policy and their experiences with moving from policy design to implementation. Topics include
A close look at the number of CPL themes by state, type of policymaker, and theme The important role of data collection standards in CPL policy development A discussion of how policies focused on quality assurance, transparency, and transcription can help support CPL transfer and credit mobility The popularity of CPL policies focused on awarding credit for military training

NOTE After we recorded this episode, the White House rescinded the memo on freezing federal funds. Aired January 29, 2025 The Trump administration’s sweeping pause on all federal grants set off a wave of confusion and concern across higher education. But just minutes before it was set to take effect, a federal judge blocked the order, putting the freeze on hold until at least next Monday. In this episode recorded Jan. 28, Jon Fansmith, Sarah Spreitzer, and Mushtaq Gunja provide important context on the rapidly evolving situation. Jon and Sarah are later joined by ACE President Ted Mitchell for a deeper conversation on what we know, what’s at stake, and what could come next for colleges, universities, and students nationwide.

Aired January 22, 2025 Jon Fansmith, Mushtaq Gunja, and Sarah Spreitzer break down the early days of the Trump administration’s second term and its impact on higher education. With 28 executive orders already issued—many targeting DEI, immigration, and gender policies—the hosts analyze what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and what’s likely to face legal challenges. Key topics include new executive actions on immigration that could affect international and undocumented students, the administration’s sweeping approach to DEI restrictions, and the implications for federal grant programs. They also discuss how colleges and universities can respond strategically in an uncertain policy environment and what ACE is doing to advocate for higher education.
