Federal Policy Navigation Suite for Education Leaders
A unique combination of resources and services to help education leaders make informed decisions in today’s political landscape
Educational leadership is now akin to walking a tightrope. Institutional responses to policy, political agendas, and cultural flashpoints could affect enrollment, funding, and reputation for years to come. However, allowing anxiety over every possible risk to dominate cabinet discussions will lead to decision paralysis and prevent schools from advancing their own strategic priorities.
EAB’s new Federal Policy Navigation Suite will help senior leaders make informed strategic decisions on the issues that need attention and minimize distracting debate about scenarios that are unlikely to come to pass.
