25. CONVENTION EVENT: Third Way: The Role of State Government During Times of Crisis

COVID-19 is threatening the financial health and well-being of our nation’s students, as well as the colleges and universities they attend. For many institutions of higher ed—especially public schools—CARES Act emergency relief funding just scratched the surface of what they need to survive, and states already stretched thin by the pandemic are struggling to close that gap.

How are state leaders responding to increased financial need from their public university systems? What guidance are they providing to colleges around their fall reopening plans to keep students and faculty safe? And what action do states need the federal government to take to protect and support their higher ed students and systems in this critical time?

To dig into these questions and more, join Third Way and Dr. Zakiya Smith Ellis, Chief Policy Advisor to Governor Phil Murphy (and former New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education) for an on-the-record conversation about the role of state government in response to coronavirus.
