Listen "What Did Colleges Learn from Campus Protests?"

Colleges and universities are still dealing with the political fallout of last spring’s campus protests and encampments. It’s a political fight that’s led to the ouster of high-profile university presidents and generated national debate and even Congressional hearings.

And we hear the perspective of Sam Hilton, a Wesleyan student and executive editor of the student newspaper.
