The recent scandal at Harvard has not only damaged the reputation of the university and other Ivy League institutions, but it has also shifted status incentives for the elite and influenced the flow of money and influence. This symbolic victory carries real material and political ramifications, impacting high-growth sectors like finance, tax, and venture capital. While the bureaucratic world changes slowly, such symbolic victories can have deep and lasting effects.
In this episode, Mike Solana is joined by Christoper Rufo, writer, activist, and Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. Chris has been in the headlines the past few months due to his public battle against DEI policies. Specifically, his efforts to have Harvard President, Claudine Gay, removed from her position. In this episode, we get into why Chis is on this mission, why DEI policies are so destructive, and how we can solve this issue.
Featuring Mike Solana, Christopher Rufo
