The Conservative Woman's Guide

What does real education reform look like, and which policies are actually helping students succeed? 
This week on The Conservative Woman’s Guide, host Karin Lips sits down with Neetu Arnold, Paulson Policy Analyst at the Manhattan Institute and NeW alumna, to discuss the state of American education and the reforms that are making a difference. 

Neetu’s experience with the Network of enlightened Women at Cornell University helped shape her career in public policy. She explains how students can navigate ideological bias on campus while developing the skills to challenge prevailing narratives. 

The conversation explores misunderstandings surrounding student loans, the emerging role of AI in classrooms, and the dramatic academic turnaround often referred to as the “Mississippi Miracle.”
