In Defense of Inequality: UATX President Carlos Carvalho's Convocation Address

To the class of 2029: you have chosen to rebel. Not against hierarchy, but against its abandonment. Not against standards, but against their erosion. Not against excellence, but against those who would fake it.You rebel against a world that tells you mediocrity is enough, that comfort is the highest good, that all answers are equally valid. Your rebellion is in service of ancient truths: that wisdom deserves deference, and that difficulty breeds strength.America's next quarter-millennium begins right here, with you.Welcome to the rebellion.
