If you want to keep up with the disastrous goings-on in higher education – and, honestly, you probably don't – we recommend following Kepner's work at the Statesman. Having only recently graduated from college herself, Kepner became Austin's most authoritative source for higher-ed news after moving to town in the fall of 2023. It was a good time to get here, because the shit is going down: In her first couple of years on the job, Kepner’s beat has her reporting on the clampdown on free speech, the death of DEI, and ruinous cuts to research funding.
