Puerto Ricans are still recovering from the destruction left by Hurricane Maria last September, but a financial storm continues to take a toll on people on the island. In the second of a two-part series produced in collaboration with WNYC, we turn our attention to the austerity measures planned for Puerto Rico—particularly, cuts to the public university system. We follow Gabriel Negrón, an economics student at the University of Puerto Rico who has made it his mission to fight back against austerity measures.
