Jim Newberry, former mayor of Lexington, KY, developed strong ties with local universities and now focuses his law practice on the higher education sector. As co-chair of the higher education team at Steptoe and Johnson, he represents various colleges. He recently discussed ongoing concerns such as confusion and uncertainty regarding federal regulations during a conversation with Inside Higher Ed. Newberry noted a lack of information and fear among colleges, attributing some issues to closed federal offices that hinder communication and problem resolution.
"That was the mission to which I wanted to devote the rest of my professional career when I left the mayor's office."
"It's confusion, lack of information, uncertainty about what the future may hold, who they will be dealing with. It's, in short, the fear of the unknown right now."
