Steptoe & Johnson’s Higher Education Team Featured in Inside Higher Ed

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Steptoe & Johnson’s Higher Education Team was featured in a recent Q&A in national industry publication Inside Higher Ed. Steptoe & Johnson Member and Higher Education Team Leader Jim Newberry is quoted in the article “The Confusion in Higher Ed Right Now ‘Knows No Bounds.’”

In the article, Newberry explains that Steptoe & Johnson’s Higher Education Team is working diligently to answer clients’ questions and uncertainties around the future of higher education. “The confusion right now knows no bounds, and a lot of that has to do with the fact that federal offices are being closed,” Newberry told reporter Sara Custer. “People who were responsible for overseeing projects are no longer there, and so if you’re trying to resolve an issue with the Department of Education, it is very, very challenging.”

Steptoe & Johnson’s Higher Education Team is staying on top of the changing legal environment and stands ready to answer client questions and concerns. The group recently presented a highly successful webinar and published an article outlining the Trump administration’s Executive Order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education.
