Open Campus
U.S. center-left
Open Campus is an independent nonprofit news organization that focuses exclusively on higher education, embedding reporters in local partner newsrooms across the country. It is funded by education and journalism foundations, none of which have direct editorial control. Its coverage of the Trump administration's higher education policies — including DEI bans, federal funding leverage, and campus compact proposals — has been watchdog in orientation, framing these actions with scrutiny.
