In recent years, elite higher education has been rocked by concerns about politicization, campus intolerance, and declining academic rigor. The Trump administration has moved aggressively to address these issues, levying unprecedented financial penalties on high-profile institutions. How should leading universities respond? And are they willing and able to address the problems without Washington stepping in?
Two organizations that have been in the middle of things are the Stand Columbia Society and the 1636 Forum, which were formed by alumni of Columbia and Harvard, respectively, and are seeking to reform these institutions from the inside. Join Frederick M. Hess as he talks to the founders of Stand Columbia and the 1636 Forum about problems on campus, the challenges ahead, and what leaders need to do now.
