Emily Sachar of The Daily Catch hosts The Catchup, sponsored by Hudson Solar and Battery Solutions, and sits down with Bard Observer co-editors Luc Redgate and Mica Rajakumar, who have been leading student coverage of Bard College President Leon Botstein since DOJ documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein named him. The editors walk through their exclusive interview with Botstein and a Feb. 12 open house at his campus home that drew 60 to 80 people and grew tense, with some students pushing for his resignation. Botstein stayed composed but kept returning to the same points: he won't step down, calling that a decision for the board; he should have cut ties with Epstein in 2015; and he's proposed a $400,000 fund, drawn from Epstein-linked money, to address sexual violence.
Produced by Emily Sachar, Walter Mullin, Matty Rosenberg, and Jennifer Hammoud at the Radio Free Rhinecilff studio
