Since the start of the second Trump administration, American colleges and universities have been subject to intense political scrutiny by the White House. Both public and private institutions have negotiated settlements at the expense of DEI programs, admissions, and hefty fines and fees. Law firms, media outlets, and even cultural institutions have also been targeted.rnrnWesleyan University President Michael S. Roth is a widely recognized defender of academic freedom, democracy, and a leading voice in discussions about the future of colleges and universities.

What's unfolding around Les Wexner's name on college campuses isn't just a debate—it's a long-overdue reckoning with how wealth has been used to buy prestige, silence, and institutional protection. Universities didn't just accept donations, they traded credibility for them, elevating donors into untouchable figures while avoiding scrutiny of their backgrounds and associations. The Epstein scandal shattered that arrangement by exposing how deeply intertwined powerful donors were with a system that prioritized money over accountability. Now, the public is no longer willing to separate philanthropy from the person behind it, and the continued honoring of names like Wexner's is being seen not as neutral, but as an active endorsement of a deeply compromised legacy.The demand to remove those names is not radical—it is the bare minimum of accountability, and the resistance to doing so reveals exactly where institutional priorities lie. Universities are stalling not because the issue is unclear, but because they fear the consequences of disrupting a donor-driven system that has long benefited them. Claims that the situation is “complicated” are little more than excuses to delay action that should have already been taken. At its core, this moment is about whether institutions will continue protecting their past decisions or finally align their actions with the values they claim to uphold. The public's patience is gone, and anything short of decisive action will only deepen the perception that these institutions value money over truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In March 2025, the U.S. Department of Education began investigating dozens of colleges - including Harvard and Columbia - for possible violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act for their alleged failure to protect Jewish students from harassment and discrimination on campus. The administration threatened to withhold federal funding and many colleges struck deals to preserve their funding. Critics charged the administration with heavy-handed enforcement tactics that burdened academic freedom and free speech on campus. Join our panel of experts as they explore how these enforcement efforts have played out after one year and what we may expect in the future. Featuring: Prof. David D. Cole, Hon. George J.

Approximately 10 million students per year are attending community colleges in the U.S., and many students are balancing multiple responsibilities while they study. Yet, most community colleges do not offer robust health care services, like contraception, STI testing and treatment, and pregnancy testing.

The program gives funding support to nonprofits, health departments and community colleges that are working to provide SRHR care and information to students across the U.S.' geography and policy environments. Connect for Success also works hand-in-hand with students that attend partnership universities to make sure the programming matches their true needs. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Private credit woes continue! Investors continue to worry about the private credit market and this week has been filled with troubling news from the sector. According to the Financial Times, Glendon Capital Management said private credit funds run by Blue Owl (OWL) and several of its peers may have understated loss rates in their portfolios, suggesting actual losses could be higher than reported. This has led to concerns around the “true valuation” of these assets. This wouldn't be surprising given the little clarity that we have for these loans. We also saw JPMorgan Chase take a conservative approach and mark down the value of some loans tied to private credit vehicles. All the negativity has now caused investors to question the long-term viability of this investment, and many are now wanting to redeem their shares. The problem is these companies don't have to give you all your money back when you ask for it. Blackrock, Morgan Stanley, and Cliffwater all had to curb withdrawals as requests exceeded the pre-existing limit, which normally looks to be around 5%. Looking at Morgan Stanley's North Haven Private Income fund in particular, redemption requests totaled 10.9% of shares outstanding in Q1 and the fund said it would honor 5% of those requests, which is roughly just 45.8% of each investor's tender request. This now means those investors have to continue holding the fund until next quarter and can try again at that time to sell additional shares. I also recently learned of a term in the private credit space called Paid in Kind interest, also referred to as PIK. It is essentially an IOU that borrowers give to lenders instead of cash. When this occurs, the borrower's debt just increases by the interest due rather than the borrower needing to make an interest payment. The crazy thing is that these PIK receipts are still counted as interest income and it counts towards the management fee. An analyst by the name of Ron Kahn, who runs a unit at the Chicago investment bank Lincoln International that does valuations for about a third of all U.S. private credit loans, wondered why private credit companies were showing such few defaults. What he found was lenders were proactively amending loan agreements by allowing PIK interest rather than cash payment so they could avoid default. Lincoln International saw private credit loans with PIK interest rise to 11% at the end of 2025, which was up from 5% in early 2022. There are many concerns in this space right now and I'm sure glad I don't have any assets in this space!   Prediction markets are hitting college campuses to find gamblers Prediction markets have something FanDuel and DraftKings don't, access to the 18 to 21-year-olds in college. Gambling is generally limited to adults 21 years or older, however, prediction markets that are run by companies like Polymarket and Kalshi are trades that are regulated as financial derivative contracts by the Commodity Future Trading Commission. This allows anyone 18 years or older to gamble using these prediction markets. Both Kalshi and Polymarket are hitting college campuses across the country and throwing cash around to lure in 18 to 21-year-old students to place bets via the prediction market. They are doing this by using fraternities and even campus clubs to promote their platforms and in some cases, they pay them $10 per each new account they sign up. There was one fraternity who received $30,510 in two weeks which the fraternity used for parties and new furniture. They are also using student influencers as brand representatives to sell other students on the prediction market. These two companies have no shame as they have even used college athletes to influence others to bet on sports with prediction markets.   Don't pay attention to the price of oil on a daily basis I say that because there's so much speculation out there and likely the information you receive on the price of oil is useless when you look forward to a few months and maybe even just a few weeks from now. Last week the price of oil surged around 35%, but on Monday after comments from the President that this will not last long in the Middle East, crude oil fell back down to under $85 a barrel. Why is this volatility in the price of oil happening?  Roughly 20% of global oil consumption is exported through the Strait of Hormuz and about 20% liquefied natural gas exports worldwide also pass through the narrow waterway. The United States over the years along with other allies have spent billions of dollars making sure the waterway remains open. At the smallest part it is only 21 miles across and to the northeast there sits, Iran. Officially the waterway is not closed or blocked physically, but there are concerns of going through the strait for fear of being hit by a missile shot from Iran. The other concern is how long this will go on because storage facilities for oil have pretty much reached full capacity and when that happens the producers need to turn off the well in a process known as “shutting in” occurs. When this happens, there can be problems and delays turning the wells back on and some may not regain the original flow. As you can tell, it is not a simple process and it's not just oil that's goes through the strait but also liquified natural gas and even large amounts of fertilizer flow through the area as well. I would not recommend making any investment decisions during this time around anything that has to do with oil or even energy for that matter.   The International Energy Agency (IEA) agrees to historic oil release The IEA, which is an organization of 32 member countries primarily with advanced economies in Europe, North America and northeast Asia, agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves. Currently, IEA members hold more than 1.2 billion barrels of public emergency oil stocks, with a further 600 million barrels of industry stocks held under government obligation. While the strategic release is helpful, it is only a temporary fix considering nearly 20 million barrels passes through the Strait of Hormuz per day in normal times. China also could help with oil prices if it reduced its purchasing or released some of its stockpile. Ahead of the war China was buying oil at an elevated rate and in the first two months of the year, crude imports soared 15.8% compared to a year earlier. It's estimated as of January China had a stockpile of 1.2 billion barrels as well. China has also been continuing to receive oil from Iran and since the war began it's estimated they've received close to 12 million barrels from the country.    Surprise.... Gen Z is going to the mall for in-person shopping! You may be hearing that younger people don't go to the mall any longer, but that is not true, it's just a little bit different than when people went 20 years ago. Gen Z, the generation consisting of 14 to 29-year-olds, shops at the mall but first they check online sources like Instagram and TikTok to see what's in style. According to Nielsen IQ, the global annual retail spending by this generation is expected to be over $12 trillion by 2030. Shoppers between 18 and 24 years old made 62% of their general merchandise purchases in stores last year, but shoppers 25 and older made just 52% of their purchases in person. Some of the reasons given for the in-person preference was that Gen Z does not like to pay the shipping fees along with common sense things like they want to touch the item and see it in person especially if it's clothing, they want to see how it looks on them. Malls understand this, and many of them have actually set up areas so that the young shoppers can take their selfies in fitting rooms and other areas that are social media friendly. If you're a salesperson in a retail store and if you're talking to this generation, you'd better be up to date when it comes to what's going on in social media. Some salespeople even have a tablet to show shoppers how influencers are styling different items. It is a misconception that this generation is averse to talking to people, but how you talk to them is different. They'd rather get their advice from an influencer or a friend rather than a salesperson.   Companies Discussed: The Gap, Inc. (GAP), StubHub Holdings, Inc. (STUB), Delta Air Lines, Inc. (DAL) & Uber Technologies, Inc. (UBER)

J. Cole continues popping up on HBCU campuses—including Howard, Hampton, and North Carolina A&T—to personally deliver his new album The Fall Off directly from the trunk of his Honda Civic, creating nostalgic, fan‑packed moments reminiscent of his early career hustling CDs hand‑to‑hand.

The episode opens with an emotional look into Jamie Foxx’s new breakup‑inspired single “Somebody”, which he revealed was fueled by a painful Valentine’s Day split with a Spanish-speaking ex—a heartbreak he said “messed [him] up,” as he described blinking and still seeing her face. Meanwhile, the team dives into the online uproar surrounding Michael Jordan’s viral Daytona 500 moment, where footage showed him pinching and tapping Tyler Reddick’s young son; although critics called it inappropriate, new context and closer footage suggest he was likely removing ice that had fallen into the child’s clothing during the chaotic celebration. The show also takes time to honor the profound legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson, who passed away at 84 and is being celebrated nationwide as a towering civil rights leader, global activist, and inspiration whose decades of work—from marching with Dr. King to running historic presidential campaigns—reshaped American politics and expanded pathways for future Black leaders. The episode closes with a high‑energy highlight as J. Cole continues popping up on HBCU campuses—including Howard, Hampton, and North Carolina A&T—to personally deliver his new album The Fall Off directly from the trunk of his Honda Civic, creating nostalgic, fan‑packed moments reminiscent of his early career hustling CDs hand‑to‑hand.

On the first episode of the Phoenix Cast's series on restorative justice (RJ), Megan and Racheal discuss what RJ is and how it can be used not just to respond to interpersonal violence on college campuses, but how it can transform the entire campus culture. They discuss the insights they gained from The Little Book of Restorative Justice for Campus Sexual Harms by Mikayla McCray and Rachel Roth Sawatzky, their thoughts on punitive systems like the criminal legal system and Title IX, and the benefits of using RJ to address conduct violations, including sexual misconduct. For more information about restorative justice, check out the National Center on Restorative Justice's website: https://ncorj.org/what-is-restorative-justice/If you are in crisis and need immediate support, please call our 24/7 interpersonal violence helpline at 303-556-2255.Request an Appointment with an Advocate athttps://www.thepca.org/online-appointment-requestRequest a Violence Prevention Presentation at https://www.thepca.org/prevention-educationInstagram @phoenixauraria

Falun Dafa clubs on college campuses, like those at Columbia and Harvard, serve as platforms for truth-clarification activities. These clubs organize events such as nine-day classes, film screenings, and promote Shen Yun performances to educate students and faculty about the persecution of Dafa disciples. By establishing long-term truth-clarifying booths and engaging with students, these clubs aim to raise awareness and save sentient beings. This and other experience-sharing from the Minghui website.

In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Kurtz, a pastor's wife, homeschool mama, and soon-to-be mom of six, to share the twists and turns of her family's ministry journey. Hannah and her husband, Thor, began full-time ministry in 2017, eventually following a mission-trip “divine detour” to Lincoln, Illinois, where Thor now serves as the youth pastor at Open Arms.Hannah opens up about their transition to a new church—including the unique challenge of living on a college campus in the middle of being converted into their church campus. She shares honestly about grieving the move, navigating ministry on unfamiliar ground, and the quiet emotional weight pastors' wives often carry.With humor (yes, Thor collects strange items just to scare people), warmth, and deep faith, Hannah talks about community support, prayer, and the unexpected joy of watching God's provision—like her son praying for a baby brother before they even knew one was coming. Her story is full of resilience, hope, and the reminder that ministry transitions are hard… but never walked alone.Key TakeawaysA mission trip led them to an unexpected new calling in Lincoln, IL.They lived on a college campus while it was being transformed into the church campus.Transitioning to a new church brought emotional challenges and grief.Community support is essential for pastors and their families.Prayer played a major role in their family's story—from ministry decisions to a son praying for a baby brother.Having a strong network of pastors' wives makes all the difference.God's faithfulness is evident in every twist, detour, and new beginning.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

Christopher Eisgruber, the long-time president of Princeton University, joins Harry to talk about his new book, Terms of Respect. Eisgruber argues that robust free speech is alive and well on college campuses, and that instances of actual defeat of free speech are far more rare than critics charge. The key to navigating internal strife and external pressure—Eisgruber tells Harry—lies not in an abstract appeal to free speech or equality principles but rather in civil norms of respect that seek to further a model of deliberative community. Mentioned in this episode: Eisgruber's book: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/christopher-l-eisgruber/terms-of-respect/9781541607453/ Eisgruber's recent articles in the Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/author/christopher-l-eisgruber/ Learn more about your ad choices.
