Sun., Aug. 16 at 4 p.m. on 90.5 FM & STREAMING | Coronavirus disrupts higher education, magnifies inequities and accelerates change.

The coronavirus pandemic represents the greatest challenge to American higher education in decades. Many colleges and universities are closing or dramatically cutting their offerings. Students’ lives and academic plans are in turmoil. 

Millions of students are going to class online, many for the first time. It is a time of intense difficulty, risk, and potential promise. This special report will explore issues facing institutions, students, and families.

Every WKAR News story you read is rooted in fact-based, local journalism, produced without commercial influence and available for free to everyone in mid-Michigan. No paywalls. Ever.

But this work doesn’t fund itself. With significant cuts to federal funding, public media is facing a critical moment. If you believe in journalism that serves the public interest, now is the time to act. Donate today.
