Episode 42: Obama Moves to End a Bush-Era Grant Program

The Obama administration has no plans to renew two merit-based grants—the Academic Competitiveness and Smart Grants—created by President Bush. Paul Basken and Sara Hebel explain why the grants never got off the ground and discuss reaction to President Obama's 2011 budget proposal.

Kelly Field, The Chronicle's chief Washington reporter, and Sara Hebel, our politics editor, spend a minute (or so) each week discussing the key higher-education debates and behind-the-scenes maneuvering taking place in the nation's capital. Other Chronicle reporters and special guests will be filling in for Kelly Field while she is on family leave. Look for new episodes every Tuesday.

Y'know, it would be really nice to provide the text of these for those of us working in environments where we can't really be listening to audio. This one really sounds like they're speaking from prepared notes anyway.
