from The Brief: Insights from the Inside | PragerU · host PragerU
Harvard historian James Hankins joins Shabbos Kestenbaum to explain why he’s leaving Harvard—from the collapse of Western civilization surveys to the rise of DEI-driven hiring, foreign-donor influence, and how university priorities shifted from excellence to activism. Hankins details the move from Western/US history to “global” frames, alleges systemic admissions bias, unpacks the two-book tenure standard and its demise, discusses China funding/Lieber fallout, and reacts to President Alan Garber’s promised reforms.
