About this episode
As college students head back to campus, we take some time to revisit a difficult moment in the history of higher education--- COVID-19 and the closure of many college campuses. We're joined by Anthony Abraham Jack , faculty director of the Boston University Newbury Center and associate professor of higher education leadership at the Boston University Wheelock College of Education & Human Development, to discuss his new book Class Dismissed: When Colleges Ignore Inequality and Students Pay the Price . He spoke with former college students about their experience during the pandemic, and how they feel their education was affected by COVID era policies. Plus, we take calls from former students and their parents about their experience of higher education in 2020 and 2021.
