In This Episode:
Adam Hoffman, a writer for the Princeton Tory, joins the podcast to discuss his recent piece in the New York Times about how the leftist political culture on college campuses has sparked a reactionary shift for conservative students
how college administrations are not only actively pushing a progressive social agenda, but also seeking to exclude conservative counter-opinions in the classroom and through student life programs
how the size of university endowments has untethered the universities from traditional channels of accountability, and what can be done to rein in woke campus culture
