Part of a Series

Dr. John B. King Jr., chancellor of the State University of New York and former secretary of education, joins the podcast to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decisions to restrict affirmative action and strike down the Biden administration’s student debt forgiveness plans; the ramifications for marginalized students; and how to address the inequities these rulings will exacerbate. Colin and Erin also talk about extreme heat and MAGA Republicans taking credit for Biden administration economic wins.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
