In this new series of The Brand Education Podcast, Zeenat Fayaz is joined by five-time university president Gordon Gee and returning guest David Rosowsky, Senior Advisor to the President at Arizona State University, to examine why confidence in higher education has collapsed over the past few decades. From a damning Congressional hearing to institutions that have lost touch with the very communities they were built to serve, they trace what went wrong, and make the case for how colleges and universities can start earning that trust back.
