The EduData Podcast

In this episode of The EduData Podcast, Jamie and Timothy dive into fresh data from the National Clearinghouse Research Center and the National College Attainment Network, analyzing the drop in college enrollment for Fall 2024. They explore how recent changes in FAFSA processes have impacted financial aid applications and discuss the alarming enrollment trends across different demographics. The hosts also examine how these trends might intersect with broader issues like the enrollment cliff and the Supreme Court's decision on race-conscious admissions.
