Description

Small-scale graduation ceremonies have kicked off at Columbia University after the main commencement was canceled due to pro-Palestinian campus protests. In other news, New York City has installed new changing tables in nearly all public park bathrooms, improving convenience for parents. Plus, New York State now requires high school students to complete a financial aid application or formally opt out by graduation, following a FAFSA redesign aimed at simplifying the process for tuition aid applications. Despite these improvements, delays have been reported. WNYC’s Michael Hill discusses these challenges with State Senator Andrew Gounardes, the bill's sponsor, and high school senior Adiba Salbia.
