Episode notes
Truman Scholarships Favor Liberals
- The College Fix found Truman Scholarships overwhelmingly favor liberal recipients, creating a taxpayer-funded pipeline into progressive roles.
- Jennifer Kabbany and her team traced winners into Democratic campaigns, advocacy groups, and liberal law firms, showing lasting political alignment.
Selection Process Creates Systemic Bias
- The nomination and selection structure breeds ideological bias because professors and regional committees lean left.
- The national Truman administrators have been presented the findings repeatedly but have not acted to correct the bias.
Fight DEI By Targeting Personnel And Curriculum
- Do not assume DEI disappeared; universities often renamed or reshaped offices to continue the same functions.
- Pressure trustees and state legislatures to address personnel and curriculum rather than just website language.
