What I Cover
Dan Bauman investigates how the business of higher education affects real people — from faculty and staff members to prospective and current students, alumni, communities, and the rest of the world.
My Background
Dan Bauman joined The Chronicle after starting his career at the St. Paul Pioneer Press (Minnesota). An award-winning reporter, Bauman’s work has outed an internet huckster masquerading in the news as a financial guru, chronicled how one financially decimated university alerted its creditors to the potential for closure while still enrolling students by the hundreds, and scrutinized how millions of dollars of campaign donations at the state level each year help partisans and ideologues win seats on the boards that oversee America’s top public universities.
