Adam Hoffman on Campus Progressivism, Young Conservative Firebrands, and Reforming Higher Ed

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
