California College of the Arts’ announcement last week that it would close by the end of the next academic year stunned many in the Bay Area arts community. Nashville-based Vanderbilt University plans to open a satellite location in CCA’s San Francisco campus and also bought a shuttered site in Oakland. We’ll dig into the deal and talk about what the demise of the 120 year-old CCA and expansion of a new university means for the Bay Area,  arts in our region, and higher education overall.

Guests:

Laura Waxmann, reporter, San Francisco Chronicle

Sarah Hotchkiss, senior associate editor, KQED Arts and Culture

Jeff Selingo, author, "Who Gets In & Why: A Year Inside College Admissions," "There is Life After College" and "College (Un)Bound: The Future of Higher Education and What It Means for Students"
