In this second part from the Milken Global Institute, Jeff Selingo engages in a provocative conversation with investor and Harvard critic Bill Ackman. They discuss the challenges facing elite higher education today—from DEI rollbacks and government funding threats to what Ackman describes as Harvard's financial crisis and governance failures. Ackman argues that administrative bloat, viewpoint homogeneity, and an unsustainable business model have undermined top institutions, while suggesting Harvard's $53 billion endowment may be significantly overvalued. The discussion explores contentious issues in admissions fairness, including legacy preferences, and concludes with Ackman's vision for higher education's future, where competition from new models might force established universities to reform or risk irrelevance. Key Moments0:00 - Intro1:04 - Federal Funding as a Lever of Influence8:07 - Board Insulation at Harvard13:08 - Limiting Class Size14:25 - Fairness in Admissions18:27 - Where We Go From Here Connect with Michael Horn:Sign Up for the The Future of Education NewsletterWebsiteLinkedInX (Twitter)Threads Connect with Jeff Selingo:Sign Up for the Next NewsletterWebsiteX (Twitter)ThreadsLinkedIn Connect with Future U:TwitterYouTubeThreadsInstagramFacebookLinkedIn Submit a question and if we answer it on air we'll send you Future U. swag!Sign up for Future U. emails to get special updates and behind-the-scenes content.

英语新闻丨北京发誓坚决打击关税

China Daily Podcast

China has vowed to take firm and necessary countermeasures in response to the United States' escalating tariff threats, reaffirming its commitment to defending national interests while upholding the stability of the global trade system.中国发誓将采取坚决必要措施,以应对美国不断升级的关税威胁,重申其维护国家利益和维护全球贸易体系稳定的决心。Analysts said that China's move sent a strong signal to the international community of rejecting unilateralism and joining efforts to safeguard multilateral trade rules.分析人士表示,中国此举向国际社会发出强烈信号,表明中国反对单边主义,携手维护多边贸易规则。They noted that Beijing retains ample policy tools to respond, including raising tariffs on US energy and agricultural imports, as well as further expanding export controls on critical minerals such as rare earth elements. These targeted actions are expected to increase pressure on Washington and could pave the way for a return to rational negotiations, they added.他们指出,北京方面拥有充足的政策工具来应对,包括提高对美国能源和农产品进口的关税,以及进一步扩大对稀土元素等关键矿产的出口管制。他们补充说,这些有针对性的行动预计将加大对华盛顿的压力,并可能为恢复理性谈判铺平道路。"China will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its rights and interests, should the United States escalate its tariff measures," the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on Tuesday, hours after the US threatened to impose a further 50 percent tariff on China if Beijing does not withdraw its 34 percent counter-tariff.中国商务部周二在一份声明中表示:“如果美国升级关税措施,中方将坚决采取反制措施,维护自身权益。”此前数小时,美国威胁称,如果北京不撤销已加征的34%反制关税,将对中国进一步加征50%的关税。US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on April 2 regarding the so-called "reciprocal tariffs", imposing a 10 percent "baseline tariff" and higher rates on certain trading partners.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于4月2日签署了一项关于所谓“对等关税”的行政命令,决定对部分贸易伙伴征收10%的“基准关税”,并提高其税率。Last week, Beijing adopted an array of countermeasures, including an additional 34 percent tariff on US imports, following a decision by the US to impose an additional 34 percent tariff on Chinese imports.上周,继美国决定对中国进口产品加征34%的关税后,北京方面采取了一系列反制措施,包括对美国进口产品加征34%的关税。"The US' tariff escalation threat against China compounds its mistake and further exposes its nature of blackmail, which China will never accept," the ministry said. "China will fight till the end if the US is bent on going down the wrong path."中国商务部表示:“美方对华升级关税威胁加剧了其错误,进一步暴露了其讹诈本质,中方绝不接受。如果美方执意沿着错误的路走下去,中方将坚决斗争到底。”Analysts believe that the set of forceful and targeted countermeasures that Beijing has taken showed that it has ample tools at its disposal, especially against sectors and companies that are priorities for the Trump administration, and where China's dependence is not significant.分析人士认为,北京方面采取的一系列强硬且有针对性的反制措施表明,其拥有充足的反制手段,尤其针对特朗普政府重点关注、而中国对美依赖程度不高的行业和企业。The energy and agricultural sectors that Trump hopes to bolster are also the primary industries in some US states. Intensifying sanctions on these sectors would therefore heighten domestic pressure on the Trump administration, said Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities.特朗普希望加强的能源和农业部门,也是美国一些州的主要产业。因此,粤开证券首席经济学家罗志恒表示,加大对这些行业的制裁力度将加剧特朗普政府的国内压力。Luo said that China can consider extending export restrictions to potentially include lighter rare earth elements like lanthanum and cerium, as the US is highly dependent on such Chinese imports.罗志恒表示,中国可以考虑扩大出口限制,可能将镧和铈等较轻的稀土元素也纳入其中,因为美国高度依赖中国进口稀土元素。"The trade war this time is not one that can easily be settled through concessions," Luo said. "China must take firm and resolute countermeasures to defend its interests, which will then compel the US to come back to the negotiating table."“这次的贸易战不是一场能轻易通过让步解决的贸易战,”罗志恒表示,“中国必须采取坚决有力的反制措施,捍卫自身利益,从而迫使美国重返谈判桌。”The US saw widespread protests over the weekend that in part opposed the Trump administration's aggressive tariff policies, which are seen as inflicting real economic pain on households and businesses across the country.上周末,美国爆发了大规模抗议活动,部分原因是抗议特朗普政府激进的关税政策,这些政策被认为给美国各地的家庭和企业带来了实质性经济伤害。Steve Lamar, president and CEO of the American Apparel & Footwear Association, said in a statement last week, "To be clear, tariffs are taxes borne by the American companies that import the goods and the hardworking American families that buy those goods."美国服装和鞋类协会主席兼首席执行官史蒂夫·拉马尔上周在一份声明中表示:“明确地说,关税是由进口商品的美国公司和购买这些商品的辛勤工作的美国家庭承担的税款。”"Tariffs will significantly increase the cost of manufacturing in the US, and, when paired with the retaliatory tariffs that will surely come, will undermine US export opportunities as well," Lamar said.“关税将大幅增加美国制造业的成本,再加上必然会采取的报复性关税,还将损害美国的出口机会。”拉马尔说道。China's potent countermeasures don't mean that a trade war is the only way forward, as Beijing stands ready to talk with Washington.中国的强硬反制措施并不意味着贸易战是唯一的出路,北京随时准备与华盛顿对话。China urges the US to immediately correct its wrongdoing, cancel all unilateral tariff measures against China, stop its economic and trade suppression, and settle differences with China properly through dialogue on an equal footing and on the basis of mutual respect, the Commerce Ministry said.中国商务部表示,中方敦促美方立即纠正错误做法,取消所有针对中国的单边关税措施,停止其经贸打压,并在平等和相互尊重的基础上通过对话妥善解决与中方的分歧。Beijing is not alone in facing the Trump administration's "Liberation Day" tariffs. The White House has dragged its own long-standing allies into the fray, including imposing additional tariffs as high as 20 percent on imports from the European Union, 25 percent on imports from South Korea and 24 percent on imports from Japan.北京并非唯一面临特朗普政府“解放日”关税的国家。白宫将其长期盟友拖入战局,包括对欧盟进口产品征收高达20%的额外关税,对韩国进口产品征收高达25%的额外关税,对日本进口产品征收高达24%的额外关税。"By placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business and as a market to invest capital," said Bill Ackman, a hedge fund titan who endorsed Trump's run for president.支持特朗普竞选总统的对冲基金巨头比尔·阿克曼表示:“通过对我们的朋友和敌人征收巨额且不成比例的关税,从而同时向全世界发动一场全球经济战,我们正在摧毁人们对我国作为贸易伙伴、经商环境和投资市场的信心。”"We will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate," Ackman said in a post on social media platform X.阿克曼在社交媒体平台X上发帖称:“这将严重损害我们在世界其他国家的声誉,需要数年甚至数十年才能恢复。”Ma Guangyuan, a senior economist, said the era of the US calling the shots and forcing countries to choose sides is over, as the US-led trade system is falling apart. However, this does not mean the end of free trade itself, as the global community still recognizes the benefits of open economic cooperation, Ma said.资深经济学家马光远表示,美国发号施令、迫使各国选边站队的时代已经结束,美国主导的贸易体系正在崩溃。然而,这并不意味着自由贸易本身的终结,因为国际社会仍然认同开放经济合作的益处。"Economics will triumph over politics and free trade will overcome hegemony," Ma added. "China can seize this chance to broaden its circle of friends and jointly foster a new trade framework on the foundation of equality, freedom and mutual benefits with other economies."“经济将战胜政治,自由贸易将战胜霸权,”马光远补充道。“中国可以抓住这个机会,扩大‘朋友圈',与其他经济体共同构建一个在平等、自由、互利基础上的新型贸易框架。”High-ranking officials from Italy, Portugal and France, as well as the European commissioner for trade and economic security, visited China in late March. Around the same time, South Korea and Japan agreed to accelerate negotiations with China on the stalled trilateral free trade agreement.意大利、葡萄牙和法国的高级官员以及欧盟贸易和经济安全事务专员于3月底访华。与此同时,韩国和日本同意加快与中国就陷入僵局的三边自由贸易协定进行谈判。"Our championing of free trade is not just a response to US aggression, but a strategic initiative to guide the development of the multilateral system in a direction that benefits all," said Mei Xinyu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.中国国际贸易经济合作研究院研究员梅新育表示。“中国倡导自由贸易不仅是对美国侵略行为的回应,更是引导多边体系朝着惠及各方方向发展的战略举措,”"The US' blanket, across-the-board imposition of high tariffs this time might end up uniting all the affected economies into a shared marketplace that could potentially dwarf the size of the US market," Mei said.梅新育说:“美国此次全面征收高额关税,最终可能会将所有受影响的经济体联合成一个共享市场,这可能会使美国市场的规模相形见绌。”countermeasuresn.反制措施baseline tariffn.基线关税unilateralismn.单边主义blackmailn.讹诈;威胁disproportionate tariffs不成比例的关税economic coercionn.经济胁迫

Ook na het weekend blijkt Donald Trump niet van mening te zijn veranderd. Hij zet zijn handelsoorlog volop door. En daarin heeft hij een paar goede volgelingen. Handelsminister Howard Lutnik noemt die handelsoorlog onvermijdelijk en is ervan overtuigd dat Amerika tot nu toe leeggeplunderd werd door de rest van de wereld. En ook minister van Financiën Scott Bessent ziet geen reden voor paniek en weigert zelfs maar aan een recessie te denken. Beleggers denken er duidelijk anders over, want wereldwijd kleuren de beurzen rood. Een bericht van nieuwszender CNBC leek daar even verandering in te brengen. Dat meldde dat een economisch adviseur van Trump een gerucht had opgepikt over een mogelijke pauze in de handelsoorlog. Beleggers wisten niet hoe snel ze moesten inslaan, maar kwamen vrijwel meteen weer van een koude kermis thuis. Want het Witte Huis wist niet hoe snel dat gerucht ontkracht moest worden. En dat wierp de beurzen alleen nog maar verder in het diepe. Tot overmaat van ramp besloot Trump vervolgens ook weer dat hij te lang z'n mond had gehouden. Zijn doelwit? China. Dat had vlak voor het weekend al aangekondigd om elke heffing vanuit de VS met gelijke munt terug te betalen. Dat wordt een duur grapje voor Trump, want die dreigt nu met nog eens 50 procent extra heffing tegen China. Een samenvatting van deze rollercoaster van een beursdag hoor je in deze aflevering.

Elon Musk - Did DEI Impact LA's Wildfire Response?

Elon Musk Pod

What do Elon Musk, raging wildfires, and Los Angeles Fire Department hiring policies have in common? It's a question sparking debate across social media as critics like Musk blame the city's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts for a perceived decline in firefighting efficiency. But is there evidence linking these initiatives to the spread of the flames—or is it all social media speculation? As wildfires swept through Los Angeles, tech billionaire Elon Musk and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman took to social media, particularly Musk's platform X (formerly Twitter), to criticize LAFD's DEI efforts. Musk amplified claims tying the department's focus on diversity to a failure to prevent and control fires, sharing a post that read, “DEI means people DIE.” However, neither Musk nor Ackman presented evidence directly connecting DEI initiatives to the fire department's operational capacity. The controversy also spotlighted LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley, who became the department's first female and LGBTQ leader when she was sworn in in 2022. That same year, the department established a dedicated DEI bureau. Critics have questioned whether these developments contributed to wildfire challenges, though no direct link between Crowley's leadership or DEI efforts and the severity of the wildfires has been established. On her podcast, Megyn Kelly harshly criticized Crowley, claiming she prioritized diversity efforts over operational firefighting measures. “She has made not filling the fire hydrants top priority, but diversity,” Kelly said in a now-viral clip that Musk and Ackman shared. However, multiple reports clarify that responsibility for maintaining water supplies, including fire hydrants, falls to the city's Department of Water and Power—not the fire department. The right-wing social media account Libs of TikTok also targeted Crowley, posting content about her participation in LGBTQ Pride events and criticizing her leadership. These posts gained millions of views, further fueling criticism. Libs of TikTok, which has faced prior suspensions for accusations of hate speech, asserted that their posts were factual despite the platform's policy violations. Commentators like Matt Walsh echoed similar sentiments, claiming the LAFD deliberately excluded white men from firefighting roles. Walsh offered no evidence to support this assertion, though the department has indeed voiced a commitment to hiring and retaining a more diverse workforce. Some social media users pointed to a decades-old claim by radio host Adam Carolla, who testified before Congress in 2017 that he was denied a firefighting job in Los Angeles in the 1980s for not being “Black, Hispanic or a woman.” Carolla's anecdote predated both Crowley's tenure and the formation of the DEI bureau by decades, rendering it irrelevant to current LAFD practices. The debate even spilled into televised political discussions. During a CNN segment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) pushed back against conservative commentator Scott Jennings, who criticized the LAFD's diversity efforts. Crockett expressed frustration over the persistent blame placed on DEI policies. “I am so tired of people acting as if white men are the only ones capable,” she said. CNN anchor Abby Phillip pressed Jennings further, questioning the connection between DEI initiatives and the department's ongoing battle with what was described as a “historic fire.” Despite the criticisms, there's no indication that Crowley neglected fire prevention efforts in favor of diversity initiatives. Upon her appointment, Crowley told the Los Angeles City News Service that her “first priority” would be strengthening communication with her command staff. The LAFD's 2023-2026 Strategic Plan lists the department's primary goals as maintaining operational readiness, enhancing firefighter safety and well-being, and improving workplace conditions. While promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion is also a goal, it ranks third on the list.

Elon Musk heeft een te grootse belofte gedaan. 12 maanden geleden gaf hij toe dat de verkopen bij zijn Tesla in een dip zaten, maar dat ze wel zouden blijven groeien in 2024. Nu, een jaar later, blijkt het aantal geleverde auto's terug te lopen. En dat is voor het eerst in de geschiedenis van de autobouwer. Hoe groot het probleem is waar Tesla mee zit, en hoe het bedrijf dat kan oplossen, dat hoor je in deze aflevering. En dan hebben we het ook over beursgangen. Vorig jaar bleek uitzonderlijk, gemiddeld leverde een investering in een nieuwkomer op de beurs je zo'n 20 procent winst op. En met een goede gok had je je inleg zelfs vijf keer over de kop kunnen zien gaan. Dus vertellen we je op welke beursgangen je dit jaar moet letten, en of de succesverhalen van vorig jaar misschien weer dat aantal IPO's kan aanzwengelen. Verder hoor je over Apple. Dat probeert te redden wat er te redden valt in China. Het wil de iPhone-verkopen daar weer aanjagen, en gooit ze daarom in uitverkoop. En zelfs de nieuwste, beste iPhones moeten eraan geloven.

Bueno, la Comisión Federal de Comercio también ha tomado nota, ya que las quejas de los consumidores se acumulan en la era de la IA generativa y la popularidad del comercio electrónico. Se han establecido nuevas reglas para combatir las reseñas y los testimonios falsos, mientras que la agencia podrá solicitar sanciones civiles contra los infractores conscientes. Mientras los costos de endeudamiento siguen bajando, la refinanciación de hipotecas en Estados Unidos registró el mayor aumento desde los primeros días de la pandemia. El índice de refinanciación subió un 34.5% en el transcurso de una semana, según datos de la Asociación de Banqueros Hipotecarios, y subió un asombroso 118% en comparación con la misma semana del año anterior. Las solicitudes de hipotecas en general también siguieron aumentando, y el último índice de precios al consumidor, que se enfrió, preparó el terreno para que la Reserva Federal se embarcara en un ciclo de flexibilización en septiembre. Shake Shack $SHAK es la última en asociarse con Serve Robotics $SERV para utilizar robots autónomos en las aceras para entregar pedidos de Uber Eats $UBER en Los Ángeles. La noticia hizo que las acciones de Serve subieran casi un 10% el miércoles y la acción subió otro 4% antes de la apertura del mercado. Los robots totalmente eléctricos y alimentados por IA, que parecen cajas sobre ruedas, están equipados con tecnología GPS avanzada y están diseñados para eliminar el ruido y la congestión en áreas urbanas abarrotadas.

"Las criptomonedas están aquí para quedarse, pase lo que pase. Así que el Congreso debe hacerlo bien". Si bien Kamala Harris no ha compartido formalmente sus puntos de vista sobre las criptomonedas, una medida de los demócratas de alto rango para apoyar a la industria indica que puede alejarse de la postura dura de la administración Biden. Las criptomonedas se han convertido en un tema importante en las elecciones, y el candidato republicano Donald Trump ha pedido que Estados Unidos sea "la superpotencia mundial del bitcoin".

The PhD in Shut-Up is inspired from a great piece written by Chris Bray. This is about credentialism and how it has bent California to the breaking point. There is a new Scott Wiener, who likes to go around pretending to know everything because he is a social worker. Sometimes credentialism is a big deal, but what about experience or just blatant intelligence? Well, that doesn't count, just ask MSNBC. What does God's Word say? Proverbs 9:10 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.1 Timothy 3:1-10 Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons3 Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.8 In the same way, deacons[b] are to be worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. 10 They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons.Episode 1,429 Links:Against Credentialism; dare ye to challenge the legislation of a doctor of social work?Biden Admin to Wipe Out $1.2 Billion Federal Student Loan Debt for 153,000 BorrowersWithout evidence, @SRuhle suggests @elonmusk and @BillAckman have insisted that their wealth means they know everything.@WilliamCohan's frustration blows, he whines that Musk and Ackman don't have anyone around them to say "they should just be quiet."@WilliamCohan admits they don't like that @BillAckman can say what he wants "unfiltered" people in the media like Ruhle and himself.

In her 34-page decision, Secretary Bellows accuses Trump of engaging in insurrection and, consequently, determines he is ineligible to hold office under the Fourteenth Amendment. Interestingly, despite calls from the Lieutenant Governor to “explore every legal option” to remove Trump from the ballot, California Secretary of State Shirley Weber said the former president would remain on the state's primary ballot. 3:20pm- While appearing on CNN, David Axelrod—former Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama—said “I do think it would rip the county apart if [Trump] were prevented from running because tens-of-millions of people want to vote for him.” 3:25pm- A new USA Today/Suffolk University poll indicates that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump currently has greater support within the Hispanic American community than does President Joe Biden—39% to 34%.

Mays of The New York Times write: “Hundreds of migrants bound for New York City took a detour in New Jersey over the holiday weekend, in an apparent attempt to bypass a city order that seeks to limit the chaotic flow of arrivals…The surge in New Jersey arrivals appears to be an end-run around an emergency executive order last week by New York City's mayor, Eric Adams, requiring charter bus companies to provide 32 hours' advance notice of the arrival of migrants and restricting the times of day when they can be dropped off.” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/01/nyregion/ny-nj-migrants-buses.html 3:50pm- According to a Fox News report, migrants who have entered the United States illegally are currently lined up in New York City to receive taxpayer-funded housing. New York City, which previously declared itself a “sanctuary city,” guarantees free housing to migrants. 4:05pm- Claudine Gay has resigned as President of Harvard University—making her the shortest tenured president in the school's nearly 400-hundred-year history. Last month, Gay testified before the House Education and Workforce Committee. During one noteworthy exchange with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Gay refused to say calls for the genocide of Jews is speech that is violative of the school's code of conduct. Gay also faces dozens of credible plagiarism allegations. 4:15pm- In a recently surfaced video, former Director of the National Institutes of Health Dr. Francis Collins conceded that the federal government made mistakes with its public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He explains, “if you're a public health person…you attach zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people's lives, ruins the economy.” In November of 2021, Dr. Collins, who is now serving as an advisor to President Joe Biden, infamously performed “Somewhere Past the Pandemic”—an original song to the tune of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Rich, Matt, and Henry will find any excuse to play it. 4:35pm- On Monday, Rich appeared on Fox News to preview the 2024 presidential election.

Is it really that hard to be opposed to advocating genocide? Most college campuses immediately condemn conservative speech as hateful and unacceptable whether it's pro-life, pro-traditional marriage, or stating that your chromosomes determine if you are male or female. And especially if you are backing a Republican politician or policy position.So many administrators refuse to condemn protests calling for "globalizing the intifada" or demanding a Palestinian state "from the river to the sea," which would be the end of Israel. Last week, three college presidents said the appropriateness of those protests depended upon the context.On Monday at the University of Pennsylvania, Sara interviewed several students drenched in moral relativism about the issue. Some found it too complicated to have an opinion, others said they were anti-genocide but refused to be critical of someone who believed the opposite. Is it really any surprise that weak leadership at these institutions produces weak students?Join Sara as she tells us about her conversations at Penn and her upcoming reporting at Harvard.Please visit our great sponsors:Express VPNhttps://expressVPN.com/saraProtect yourself online with an extra 3 months FREE.

A surge of anti-Semitic hatred on campus since the October 7 attack has many wealthy Jewish Americans shifting their opinions in a big way — and not just on Jewish issues. Now, establishment megadonor Bill Ackman has written a stunning open letter denouncing Harvard's extreme history of anti-white racism, and apologizing for his past failure to act.
