This is an episode we think you’d enjoy of The Gray Area with Sean Illing. 

American higher education is under attack. Project 2025 laid out the battle plan pretty clearly: Get rid of the Department of Education, shut off federal funding, take control of the accreditation system, and take down diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. And in the end, change what students are encouraged to study and what professors are allowed to teach.

The questions we’re left with is why? And is it working?

Today’s guest is Michael Roth, president of Wesleyan University. He’s a vocal defender of higher education. But he’s also honest about where things have gone wrong and what needs to change. Michael and Sean discuss the Trump administration’s efforts to change universities and colleges, the potential societal effects of that effort, political biases on campus, the dangers of ideological conformity, and the value of a college education (what is even the point of going to college any more?).

After a Scott-free August, Prof. Galloway himself is back!

On his triumphant return to the show, Scott talks with Jessica about the misguided MAHA movement, and how the Trump administration is decimating America’s public health institutions. They also look ahead to Congress’s fall agenda, as both parties will try and negotiate around the possibility of a government shutdown — again. 

Plus: why was Beijing the real winner of last month’s Trump-Putin summit? Scott and Jessica explain, with help from the new Prof G podcast China Watch, and discuss how the U.S. forced India right into Russia and China’s arms.

Then, they unpack Trump’s embrace of state-style capitalism and what it means for U.S. allies and rivals alike. Finally, they take you inside Beijing’s first-ever humanoid robot games — a spectacle that’s part comedy, part preview of China’s AI ambitions.
