Corey Turner
Corey Turner is the NPR education correspondent reporting in Can the Trump administration make college cheaper?. The Planet Money episode uses his reporting to explain the Trump administration’s graduate-loan caps, the Bennett Hypothesis, and the uncertain evidence on whether federal aid raises tuition.
His role in the source is explanatory rather than biographical. He turns Federal Student Loan Caps into a policy mechanism: fewer federal dollars may pressure schools to cut prices, but the same mechanism can also reduce enrollment, push borrowers toward private loans, or make students bear the first cost of the price signal.
