Following Up With KUNC’s Ketamine Investigation
Last month, KUNC reporters Michael de Yoanna and Rae Solomon published their investigation into the use of ketamine by medics working with law enforcement. Today, the two reporters joined us give us an update on their reporting on the topic.
Turmoil In The Student Housing Market
As colleges and universities across Northern Colorado approach the start of the school year, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has created lots of uncertainty, including in the student housing market. The three major state universities have said they plan to start the fall semester with at least some level of in-person learning. But they’re also ready to shift back to remote learning, if the pandemic worsens and prompts another round of stay-at-home orders. And that possibility has some students wary of committing to full-term leases.
Dan Mika, a reporter for BizWest, joined us to discuss the impact this housing turmoil has on the economy of college towns. You can read Dan’s reporting on the topic here.
