How Higher Ed Got Jawboned
The Trump administration’s campaign of extortion against colleges and universities is coming to a head, as settlements with Columbia University and Brown University make headlines this week. Host Cristian Farias invites University of Chicago Law Professor and former Knight Institute Visiting Scholar Genevieve Lakier to discuss the strong First Amendment case universities should be making to resist the Trump administration’s jawboning of higher education. Wesleyan University President Michael Roth argues that the administration is weaponizing allegations of antisemitism “to get control of colleges and universities” and ultimately erode the independence of academic institutions.
