Federal Policy Resource Hub for Higher Education Leaders
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 Resource Hub for Higher Education, known as the Federal Policy Navigation Suite, helps 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.
Higher ed federal policy areas covered:
- Immigration and international enrollment
- Belonging and campus culture
- Federal research funding and compliance
