Hello and welcome to the podcast! I’m Karen Weaver. Today, I’m joined by journalist Eric Kelderman from the Chronicle of Higher Education. Erik has covered college administration for years, with a focus on the challenges facing campus leaders. From accreditation to finance to public perception, Eric brings deep insight into the forces shaping higher ed.
Eric has written many fine pieces for the Chronicle, but one of his recent pieces was on tiny Lourdes University in Ohio and their struggles with athletics and maintaining enrollment.
The title was great: “we have more athletes than fans”!
