Don't miss the latest discussion on The Washington Outsider #Report on Coalition Radio with Ilya Shapiro on all things academia: #antisemitism on campus, #DEI, the bureaucratic mission creep, #plagiarism and other concerns related to academic integrity, financial conflicts of interests, foreign funding and foreign students, and of course, free speech. We all know that the performance of the three elite university presidents (two of whom are now gone) at the Congressional hearing in response to the #genocide defense question was a huge mistake - but what should they have said instead? And of course we explore the legal boundaries separating speech from non-speech, and free speech from harassment. A lot of it may seem like common sense, but the social media cognoscenti often make rookie mistakes in conflating concepts of what is actually constitutionally protected and what is wishful thinking! The overarching theme of this conversation is why the problems on campus are much bigger than Claudine Gay or any other individual administration - and what should and can be done about it. We also talk about some interesting and disruptive alternatives to the mere focus on investigations of academic wrongdoing and overreach. A fun and informative conversation for anyone either following these issues closely or on the other hand, looking to catch up and make sense of the endless stream of articles and controversy. #plagiarism #academia #Israel #Hamas #Gaza #terrorism #counterterrorism #extremism #counterextremism #freespeech #lawandorder #societyandculture #Constitution #publicrelations
