Higher Ed Controversy Draft

  • Summary

  • If you follow higher education like we do, you know that the sector is ripe for controversy.

To dig into those questions, Chronicle staffers gathered recently for a first-of-its-kind higher-education controversy draft. Who built the best roster? That’s for you to decide.
