Student Loans and Campus Conflicts

Since the Hamas terror attack in October 2023, pro-Palestinian protests have emerged on college campuses across the United States, particularly at Harvard and Columbia University. While not all of these protests have been violent, many of the behaviors have raised concerns about student safety. In response, the Trump administration is working to remove federal funding from schools that fail to protect students from dangerous antisemitism on their campuses. FOX News contributor and former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy joins the Rundown to discuss the legal challenges facing Harvard University, as well as the administration's actions.

The Department of Education has announced that it will resume collections on defaulted student loans starting May 5th, 2025. Millions of borrowers must make payments before the government takes further action. FOX Business correspondent Gerri Willis joins the podcast to discuss the rising costs of colleges and universities, which have contributed to the student debt crisis. Gerri explains why now, more than ever, students and parents need to make informed and responsible decisions about affording an education.

Plus, commentary from New York Post columnist and co-author of "Stolen Youth," Karol Markowicz.
