While the Biden administration has pursued other goals on higher education—namely, loan forgiveness—FAFSA’s launch was three months late, the portal had glitches, call lines were long, and students and families were left in the dark about what grant and loan packages they were eligible for. All of this seemingly led to a large drop in applications—over 60 percent less than the previous year, according to some estimates.
AEI’s Beth Akers and a panel of experts will discuss how we ended up with these errors and some of the anticipated implications—for students and their families and educational institutions.

#aei #news #politics #government #education #livestream #live #financialaid #highereducation #studentloans #studentdebtWebinar — Authority & responsibility: District leader responses to school reopenings | LIVE STREAMAmerican Enterprise Institute2024-05-09 | There has been no shortage of opinions in the media and on Twitter about how schools should reopen, overwhelmingly from those with neither the authority nor the responsibility to decide. Meanwhile, district leaders who actually make these calls have had their heads down, working through the uncertainty posed by COVID-19 toward reopening plans that balance various trade-offs.
This webinar and its accompanying report share the decision-making processes of district leaders who actually bear the authority and responsibility of reopening schools. The conversation will reveal the extreme uncertainty, challenging factors, lack of good options, and trade-offs that superintendents must weigh in deciding how to reopen schools.

Innovative projects are underway at Stanford University and Johns Hopkins University and in entirely new academic units at public universities in Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas. As Johns Hopkins President Ronald J. Daniels notes, however, “the history of civic education in colleges and universities is one defined . . . by repeated bursts of civic resolve that have run aground or lost focus.”
AEI’s third annual Future of the American University Conference will give historical context to today’s efforts to renew civic education. Please join us for an event where scholars of the history of civics and those leading efforts to renew this field of study will discuss what contemporary efforts can learn from the past.

With the Conservative Party of Canada surging toward winning the next federal election, it is crucial that foreign observers thoroughly understand the state of conservative politics in Canada.

In Keeping the Republic: A Defense of American Constitutionalism, Boston College’s Dennis Hale and Marc Landy argue that taking these criticisms seriously is actually the first step toward understanding the Constitution’s virtues. By constraining the exercise of power, the Constitution sustains the foundation of a large, pluralistic, and rapidly modernizing society.
Please join AEI’s Yuval Levin for a conversation with Dr. Hale and Dr. Landy on how delving into the intellectual history of those who have emphasized the Constitution’s defects can help us better appreciate the brilliance of its design.

Board at 70: The Mixed Legacy of a Unanimous DecisionAmerican Enterprise Institute2024-05-08 | Seventy years ago, the Supreme Court issued its landmark decision Brown v. Board of Education. The decision was unanimous, and Brown still commands unanimous support in the American political spirit. However, different sides read Brown to say and mean different things. As Boston College’s R. Shep Melnick details in a forthcoming AEI report, the interpreted tensions are a feature—not a bug—of the ruling. These tensions have raised significant interpretative challenges, with massive and ongoing public policy implementations.
In this web event, AEI’s Ian Rowe, Dr. Melnick, and the Progressive Policy Institute’s Richard D. Kahlenberg will have a discussion, moderated by AEI’s Max Eden, on the legacy of Brown v. Board of Education, 70 years later.

Among other changes, President Joe Biden redefined “sex” to mean “gender identity” and eliminated important due process protections instituted by the Trump administration.
This regulation is certain to see its day in court—likely, the Supreme Court. But on what grounds will this regulation be challenged? What course will the litigation take, and how do recent and pending Supreme Court decisions factor into the forecast? AEI’s Max Eden will be joined by a panel of experts to discuss these questions and more.

#aei #news #politics #government #education #livestream #liveThe American Dream Lecture Series: Ruth Wisse on Antisemitism in the United StatesAmerican Enterprise Institute2024-05-08 | The United States is confronting the greatest rise in antisemitism in decades. Following Hamas’s October 7 massacre, the Anti-Defamation League reported a 337 percent increase in antisemitic incidents—experienced in synagogues, on campuses, and by Jewish individuals and businesses nationwide. As John Podhoretz has observed, the situation is “a national onslaught that has no precedent in American history or American life.”
To shed light on this issue, Harvard University’s Ruth Wisse will deliver AEI’s fifth American Dream Lecture. A renowned scholar of Yiddish literature, Jewish history, and culture, Dr. Wisse will explore the evolution of American antisemitism and discuss its unprecedented rise in recent months. How can we effectively counter what Dr. Wisse has called “the escalation of anti-Jewish politics in America”?
Join us for the fifth event in the American Dream Lecture Series as Dr. Wisse discusses the threat of modern antisemitism in the United States, followed by a conversation with AEI’s Matthew Continetti.

Trillions of rubles thrown into military production are heating up inflation in Russia. The prices of food staples are climbing fast. A cash crunch is forcing the Kremlin to raid its rainy-day National Welfare Fund and raise taxes.

But rising costs, bureaucratic bloat, double standards, and campus sloth have come to plague America’s colleges and erode Americans’ faith in them.
In their new book, Getting Education Right: A Conservative Vision for Improving Early Childhood, K–12, and College, AEI’s Frederick M. Hess and Michael Q.

Georgia, currently experiencing political turbulence and hesitation on its path toward the West, was among the first targets of Vladimir Putin’s regime in the summer of 2008, when the Kremlin deployed much of the same horrifying playbook that would later be seen in Ukraine.

The Science and Politics of Extreme WeatherAmerican Enterprise Institute2024-04-23 | When natural disasters happen, climate change is often blamed as a culprit. But attribution research actually shows that infrastructure, institutions, and technology are more important factors in how costly weather is to human communities.
This panel will examine the tension between the rhetoric and reality of extreme-weather attribution and what this means for policymaking and the future of regions most vulnerable to climate extremes.

But recently, the environmental movement has seen significant changes. Join Steven F. Hayward—a resident scholar at the University of California, Berkeley, who previously authored an AEI book on favorable environmental trends—for a presentation on how the trend data demonstrate the momentum of environmental progress in the US and around the world.
Afterward, join Dr. Hayward and AEI’s Roger Pielke Jr. as they discuss environmental trends and the exceptional case of climate change, which overshadows almost every other environmental issue. Dr. Hayward and Dr. Pielke will explore what we have learned about the environment, what important information gaps remain, and lessons for future policy choices.
