• The ROI debate: whether a four-year degree still delivers, and for whom. How the CSU system is responding to shifting policy and public skepticism.
• The space between K-12 and higher education: whether California’s schools are genuinely preparing students for what comes next. How are they being held accountable and what are state policy makers looking to do to give Californian students the education foundation they need to succeed? 
• AI on campus: policy, practice and impact on students.
• Achievement gaps, graduation rates and college readiness.
• Campus life and culture: student activism, what’s happening in classrooms, the debates and controversies that define this moment in higher education.
• Solutions and innovation: how institutions are tackling persistent problems, and whether those efforts are working. How are other universities addressing some of the same challenges and what can CSU learn from them? 

• Report and write news briefs, deeper dives off the news and enterprise stories, always with an eye to audiences’ interests. Every day, we connect the dots for readers, explaining what is happening and its significance. 
• Pitch story ideas ahead of the moments that matter — deadlines, transfer windows, a big board of trustees meeting, budget votes, enrollment drops.
• Build the beat with audiences in mind: students, counselors, parents, faculty, staff, administrators, policymakers. Write with a sense of who needs this information, how to make your journalism clear and useful and what they’ll do with it.
• Collaborate with EdSource’s data team.
• Contribute to EdSource newsletters and maintain an active social media presence.
• Work independently on deadline and as part of a collaborative team.
