Can Higher Education Be Saved?
b'
Claudine Gay resigned Jan. 2 as Harvard\\u2019s president following outrage over antisemitism at the Ivy League school and amid claims that Gay plagiarized in her academic writings. Her resignation provides higher education institutions an opportunity to reconsider the leftist agenda-laden waters most \\u201celite\\u201d colleges and universities swim in.
As more people realize the true agenda of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, Cornell law professor William Jacobson says they see that \\u201cwe now need to get rid of DEI.\\u201d But a big hurdle is that DEI officers and those employed at universities to promote the DEI agenda are \\u201ceverywhere on campuses, and they\'re gonna fight for their jobs,\\u201d Jacobson says, adding that \\u201ca lot of money is involved here.\\u201d
Asked whether he thinks higher education can be saved, Jacobson tells \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d it\'s a question he wrestles with.
\\u201cI don\'t know if academia can be saved,\\u201d Jacobson says. \\u201cAnd I\'ve said many times, for many years, it certainly cannot be reformed from within.\\u201d
Jacobson joins the podcast to explain how antisemitism at Cornell, Harvard, and other elite colleges and universities has shone a light on the harms of the DEI agenda and how there may still be a way for higher education to move away from a radical leftist agenda.
