Higher Education
New America’s Higher Education team is made up of researchers, writers, and advocates from diverse backgrounds who analyze higher education’s most complex challenges. We work to make higher education more equitable, inclusive, and accountable—so that everyone can access affordable, high-quality education after high school. We are a voice for students in policy discussions dominated by institutional interests.
