ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Practical ideas and noble ideals drove bipartisan embrace of higher education during the years preceding 1970. And then, to what extent did Kent State trigger the steady decline of easy access to university educations and the idea that college isn’t, and shouldn’t be, for everyone?
Writer and author Will Bunch, of the Philadelphia Enquirer, provides historical context and Kent State President Todd Diacon shares the experience of following values to navigate today’s divided culture, using lessons learned from May 4 1970.
