In this powerful episode, we're joined by Dr. Sheldon McAfee, a leading voice in education and equity, to unpack the shifting landscape of higher education in America. With efforts to dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs on campuses across the country, what does the future hold for students of color, especially young Black men, whose college enrollment numbers continue to decline?
Dr. McAfee brings critical insight into:
- The political backlash against DEI and what it signals for institutional priorities
- Why Black male enrollment is shrinking and how it affects the broader educational ecosystem
- The role of community colleges, HBCUs, and alternative education paths in this moment of uncertainty
