Attacks On Higher Education: Past, Present, and Future
from Beerocracy!® · host Emily Gross
One of the Trump administration's greatest enemies is higher education, and the attacks just keep coming. Asserting that higher-ed is "woke" or politically biased, and hiding behind the claim of stoping anti-semitism on campuses, the Trump admin has increased efforts to defund and delegitimize universities. From threats to campus free speech, cuts in federal funding, and arrests of international students, these moves are reshaping academia and impacting the U.S's international standing. I'm joined by Seth Masket, political scientist from the University of Denver and writer of the substack 'Tusk', to unpack Trump's moves, the broader impact, and the historical context.
