About this episode

The episode discusses public support for educating undocumented students and the shift towards online classes in California's community colleges.

This Week: In what can only be understood as a shocker, new survey data shows the vast majority of Americans of nearly all demographic groups support undocumented students having access to public education . With some variation across groups, this goes for all ages, races, and even religious groups. In fact the only group that had less than 50% agreement with this idea was Trump voters, which I mean, is what it is. Does this mean there’s hope for a sensible and moral path forward on this issue? Also, it turns out that in Califormia’s community college system -- the largest higher ed system in the nation serving over 2M students -- nearly 40% of classes are now online , and most of those are now asynchronous classes comprised of prerecorded modules. How did we get here, and what does this mean for the future of learning in the system that serves the vast majority of college students? Manuel and Jeff discuss.
