About this listen
College tuition remains in the crosshairs. Students are getting locked out of classes they need to graduate. And families are asking hard questions about whether a degree is worth the investment. So what's actually going on in higher education right now?
This week on Get Into IT Live, we're talking with Jon Marcus, senior higher education reporter at the Hechinger Report. Jon has covered this beat for decades, with his articles appearing in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and NPR. He co-hosts the NPR podcast "College Uncovered," and his reporting has won national awards for digging into the real stories behind college costs, access, and value.
We're breaking down two of Jon’s recent investigations: why tuition is climbing again after quietly falling for years, and why more than half of college students can't get into courses they need to graduate on time. If you're weighing your education options, helping someone through the decision, or just want to understand what's happening in higher ed, this one’s for you.
