Election Forum w/ Q&A

All presidential elections matter, but rarely has our nation been faced with such a stark choice in candidates and public policies. Join us for a cross-campus forum in which faculty members with specific expertise comment on how certain policies might be different under a President Trump or President Clinton. Issue areas to be addressed include higher education, health care, immigration, taxes and jobs, income inequality, criminal justice, and climate change.
