It's been a while! In the latest episode of the High School SCOTUS podcast, we're back with a wide-ranging conversation between Elise and Professor Jonathan Glater of the University of California, Berkeley School of Law. Professor Glater is an expert on all things higher education and student loan debt; he is also the Faculty Director of the Center for Consumer Law & Economic Justice at Berkeley. He joined the podcast to discuss two pending cases before the Court, Biden v. Nebraska and US Dept. of Education v. Brown, both of which consider the constitutionality of President Biden's student loan relief policy. But Elise and Professor Glater also took a step out of the legal minutiae to talk about how student debt became a political flashpoint, and why access to higher education has become so culturally and socially divisive in today’s society.

Mentioned in this episode:

Biden v. Nebraska

US Dept. of Education v. Brown
