Stacey Abrams on Harvard, Columbia, and the Fight for Academic Freedom

One of the Republican Party's most dangerous campaigns is their continued assault on academic freedom. Under the pretense of fighting antisemitism and dismantling "discriminatory" DEI policies, universities across the country are under threat of losing critical funding, and students are being targeted by immigration authorities. From Trump to state governors, attacks are coming from every level of government. In this episode, Stacey is joined by Wesleyan University President Michael Roth and Barnard College Professor Nara Milanich to discuss how our institutions of higher education are pivotal to shaping an informed, innovative, and engaged society, what's at stake, and what academics and their allies can do to push back. Then, she hears from student journalist and Co-Editor-in-Chief of The Michigan Daily, Zhane Yamin, on how students are weathering this storm.
