## Resource

Inside Higher Ed’s editor in chief Sara Custer is in the studio with news editor Katherine Knott and federal policy reporter Jessica Blake to hear the latest about movements on The Hill and in the White House affecting higher ed. On the agenda: the interagency agreements between the Department of Education and agencies across the federal government are the latest efforts by officials to close the department. Meanwhile, the department’s plans to allow some graduate programs access to higher federal loan caps over others attracted more than 80,000 public comments. And accreditation is back in the news with an eventful NACIQI meeting and the run up to negotiated rulemaking.
