Since the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023, the Everything Leftist Omnicause has turned its Eye of Sauron toward aggressive support for Palestinian nationalism—support for Palestinian nationalism that all too frequently crosses the line from a political position to antipathy towards American Jews. Nowhere has the latter been more visible than on the most elite college campuses, where administrations that have been perfectly happy to suppress speech they didn't like about mainstream political issues have allowed Palestinian nationalist demonstrators to impose their wills on campus. Today's guest used her position to ask the presidents of three of America's most prestigious universities how that came to be; the resulting incoherent responses started a firestorm that culminated in her new book, Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America's Elite Universities. Joining us today to discuss higher education and the rot within it is U.S. Representative Elise Stefanik of New York.Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America's Elite UniversitiesRep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) Questions University Presidents on AntisemitismThe Universities That Don't Understand Academic FreedomElise Stefanik's new book ‘Poisoned Ivies' highlights the dangerous extremism in higher education

He got into TWO Ivy League schools — and qualified for $0 financial aid. Then his income dropped from $290K to $75K. Here's how the appeal really works. Andy and Pearl Lockwood break down a real financial aid appeal happening right now: a self-employed dad whose 2024 tax return said "too rich for aid," whose actual income collapsed to $75K — and why both Ivy League financial aid offices refused to budge until they saw proof. If you're self-employed and assume you'll never qualify for college financial aid, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Foreign Podicy, host Cliff May sits down with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik — once the youngest woman ever elected to the House and its highest-ranking female member — to discuss her new book, Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America's Elite Universities.

Tune in for a frank discussion on antisemitism, academic freedom, and the urgent need to reform elite higher education.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit claremontinstitute.substack.comAs institutes of higher learning lose public trust, a Yale committee has issued several recommendations for greater "openness." In response, the university has trimmed down its mission statement to remove hints of activism and focus on efforts to “create, disseminate, and preserve knowledge.” As the reputations of legacy institutions slump, renegade academies have risen to upset the status quo. Ryan Williams and Spencer Klavan discuss the prospects for these new upstart institutions: Will they spark a wider revival of the traditional academy, or transfer established prestige?

In this episode, we're taking a field trip into New York City for a sugar rush and some serious higher-ed talk. We recap our night at the 92nd Street Y, where legendary anchor David Muir interviewed higher-ed expert Jeff Selingo about his new book, Dream School. We dive into the surprising college connection between these two media icons (hint: it all started in a dorm room at Ithaca!) and tackle the "Brand Name Trap"—the immense pressure students feel to chase elite rankings over a "perfect fit." From Emma's bold move to recruit celebrity guests to some serious confusion over marshmallow-topped hot chocolate at Glacé, this episode is the perfect mix of professional insight and father-daughter banter. Whether you're eyeing the Ivies or looking for a hidden gem, join us as we redefine what a "wonderful school" really looks like. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Newt talks with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21st), Chairwoman of the House Republican Leadership, about her new book, “Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America’s Elite Universities.” They discuss how America’s elite universities, once proud symbols of academic excellence, have become centers of far-left indoctrination and division. Stefanik traces her own political and professional trajectory, from volunteering for the New York Republican State Committee at age 14 and ultimately running as a 28-year-old underdog who has become a long-serving New York Republican in Congress. Drawing on her experience as a Harvard alumna, Stefanik argues that many elite universities have shifted from liberal leaning but pluralistic to ideologically lopsided, with a dramatic imbalance between Democratic and Republican faculty and a growing culture of political indoctrination over academic rigor. Stefanik’s participation in the hearing with university presidents was a historic turning point in the national debate over higher education. She concludes by expressing her hope, both as a policymaker and as a parent, that this earthquake in public awareness will help restore American universities to global excellence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lloyd Blankfein never chased a master plan. He focused on whatever was right in front of him, and those small decisions carried him from a Brooklyn housing project to leading Goldman Sachs through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.In this episode of Big Shot, Harley and David sit down with Lloyd to explore how that path unfolded. He talks about growing up in public housing and sharing a room with his grandmother, then suddenly finding himself at Harvard at 16, arriving in a suit because he had no idea what college culture looked like. He reflects on the dislocation of moving between the projects and the Ivy League and how he learned to navigate both worlds without ever feeling fully at home in either.Lloyd traces his shift from law to commodities, what he absorbed inside J. Aron, and how a crisis inside Goldman in the 1980s reshaped the firm and opened unexpected doors. He also shares what it was like to lead Goldman Sachs through 2008, why Warren Buffett's support mattered at a defining moment, and what it took to keep the firm intact while the global financial system was breaking apart.It is a conversation about chance, focus, resilience, and the surprising places a life can go when you simply take the next step.—In This Episode We Cover:(00:00) Intro(05:15) Lloyd's early days(07:05) How Lloyd graduated early (08:53) How Lloyd ended up at Harvard at 16 (10:56) A glimpse at just how humble his beginnings truly were(13:42) What it was like arriving at Harvard with no roadmap(19:37) Why top public-university talent can match (and sometimes surpass) the Ivies(20:27) What it was like moving between worlds (25:05) Why it took a long time to adjust to the burden of great wealth (27:11) What led Lloyd to law school(28:48) Lloyd's approach of thinking one step ahead(30:35) Why Lloyd quit practicing law (35:16) Lloyd's pivot to finance and initial rejection from Goldman Sachs(41:00) The J.

DAMION1In our 'Treaty Talks Begin With Bold New Commitment to Avoid Commitment: Delegates agree to form a task force to consider considering action and then unite to Say 'Plastic Is Bad'—Then Go Back to Their Plastic-Filled Hotels' headline of the week. Here's what to watch for at this month's global plastics treaty talksNegotiators from more than 170 countries are arriving in Geneva, Switzerland, this week to resume discussions over the United Nations plastics treaty, eight months after they missed their original deadline for finalizing the pact. Many delegates, advocacy groups, and U.N. officials are hopeful that the 10-day session will result in a final agreement that delivers on the U.N.'s objective to “end plastic pollution.” But progress has been slow at each of the five preceding sessions, in large part due to a consensus-based decision-making structure that has allowed oil-producing countries to obstruct progress.

Batya Ungar-Sargon joins Jillian to break down what Trump's really doing—and it's not just trolling the left. From declaring war on Ivy League gatekeepers to taking on the Supreme Court over illegal immigration, his latest moves are a full-scale assault on the ruling class. Batya unpacks how this isn't about left vs. right—it's about elites vs. everyone else. We get into Trump's Middle East strategy, the realignment of the working class, and why the media still refuses to admit what's happening: the people are waking up—and the elites are losing their grip.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Virgil, master of the setup, is now laying the groundwork for some of the Aeneid's major setpieces: the love affair with Dido, the voyage into the underworld. But first Aeneas has to pass a different milestone, one that people sometimes miss: he has to say goodbye to his father. It's one of the most human moments of the poem--something every single one of us has to go through--elevated to magisterial significance in the hero's journey. Follow along with us to the end of Book III as Aeneas enters a new stage in his adventure. Plus: a firsthand update from the Ivies after my trip to Ithaca to give a speech at Cornell.

Ah yes, the Ivy League, those storied institutions with all their societies and rituals. In this episode of The Cameron Journal Podcast, we're talking with Matt Robinson about his new book that explores the storied lore of America's oldest and most venerable institutions.

In this episode of the Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel answers listener questions from Instagram and TikTok (@admittedlyco) on a range of topics surrounding the college admissions process. He offers advice on balancing academic and extracurricular pressure to avoid burnout, and discusses strategies for applicants not targeting Ivy League schools. Thomas also covers gap years, when to hire a college advisor, international applicants, and how deferred applicants should approach their LOCI. Key Questions: "How do we balance not burning these kids out before they even arrive on campus? Feels like a feedback loop that needs to change. College admissions are expecting more, students are doing more, or doing more elite activities, and then admissions expects these things are the norm." "Would you mind addressing how your intent applies to students that aren't looking at the big Ivies?" "How to balance life as a teen and top academic achievement in a manner that is healthy and avoids burnout?" "Thoughts on a gap year? How do you make the most of a gap year?" "As a parent of a rising ninth grader, when do you recommend hiring a college advisor?" “How important is having national or international awards for top schools? Is having none going to get you rejected?" Advice for international applicants, especially in creating opportunities when extracurricular activities may not be as prevalent in their countries. How deferred applicants are reviewed during regular decision and how to strategically approach a letter of continued interest. Remember, navigating college admissions is all about finding the right balance, staying true to yourself, and focusing on what truly matters. Trust in your unique journey.  Be sure to follow Thomas on Instagram and TikTok at @admittedlyco. Feel free to DM your questions or drop them in the comments—there's a lot of great engagement happening between students, parents, and those with experience!

This week, Alex and Greg meet up at UATX and are joined by Dr. Christopher Nadon, Associate Professor of Government at Claremont McKenna College and teacher of Western Civilization and humanities at Emet Classical Academy in New York. The group touch on Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind before delving into Dr. Nadon's experience with just how far American students have fallen academically in recent decades. But not all hope is lost, as the group also discuss potential solutions to the rot infesting the American education system. Recommended reading: The Classical Cure for the Ivies

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. If you have suggestions or feedback on how I can earn your paid subscription, shoot me an email: cmclymer@gmail.com.]Another day in this election, another weird claim about trans people.On Wednesday, J.D. Vance sat down for a long interview with Joe Rogan, doing his usual schtick of making a litany of absurd claims, among them that high school students are “becoming trans” to secure an advantage in the notoriously competitive Ivy League admission process, explaining it this way:“If you are a middle-class or upper-middle-class white parent and the only thing that you care about is whether your child goes into Harvard or Yale, like, obviously, that pathway has become a lot harder for a lot of upper-middle-class kids.”Sigh… okay, so, let's all take a breath and put on our thinking caps.For any trans person or someone who has a trans loved one, the first question that comes to mind is: how on earth would this be worth it?Because even in the most progressive areas of the country, trans youth and their families still face intense cultural obstacles. Even where non-discrimination laws exist for trans people, anti-trans sentiment doesn't simply disappear.Any trans person can tell you that even in places where 99% of folks have no issues with trans people, all it takes is one transphobic person to cause trouble.And they do! Let's be clear about that: anti-trans harassment and discrimination happen everywhere in the United States. Simply residing in a progressive place doesn't insulate trans people from bigotry.Last month, Jo Yurcaba of NBC News reported on the CDC's 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, data gathered last year but published about three weeks ago.In regards to trans high school students, the data is predictably horrifying. About a quarter of trans and questioning students surveyed had attempted suicide in the past year, 40 percent reported being bullied, and about 70 percent reported persistent sadness or hopelessness.Bottom line: it really ain't great to be a trans youth in the current climate.So, even if a non-trans high school student were presenting as “trans” to obtain a mythological advantage (more on that in a sec), they would quickly find out that transphobia still very much exists.I just can't see how it would be worth it. It doesn't make sense.Okay, so, what if a non-trans student didn't publicly come out as "trans” but lied on their college application about being trans in order to gain that mythological advantage?That's a hell of a roll of the dice, isn't it? A family would basically be betting that their college applicant could keep their false representation a secret, limited only to the admissions committee, risking all the consequences that would come with any future revelation that they lied on their application.That doesn't make sense, either.But here's the kicker to all this: trans youth are woefully underrepresented at Ivy League universities and clearly don't have an admissions advantage when applying.That CDC national survey also reported that about 3.3 percent of high school students identify as transgender.Harvard's entering freshmen class this year has 0.7 percent trans students, a fifth of the national average.UPenn's entering class is 1.0 percent.Princeton's entering class is 1.4 percent.Dartmouth's entering class is 1.6 percent.Brown and Cornell have neither publicly-available, official statistics nor student surveys on trans students matriculating this year.The entering classes of Yale and Columbia are tied for the highest rate of trans students among the Ivies: two percent, nearly half the national average of high school trans students.Most of these college stats were gathered from student surveys conducted by campus newspapers. I was unable to find any evidence that these institutions factor in an aspiring matriculant's gender identity when considering their application.Maybe a top university outside the Ivies does?Stanford has no publicly available data on this, so I called their admissions office, and after explaining my inquiry, a polite but understandably incredulous staffer told me: “We don't collect that information during the admissions process.” They directly confirmed that trans applicants have no advantage.Not wanting to waste anyone else's time on this—or mine—I left it there. It's abundantly clear that being transgender offers no clear advantage when applying to our nation's top universities.But I also have to ask: why shouldn't being transgender make an aspiring applicant stand out a bit?Being trans is a rare life experience which has constantly been at the center of American public life over the past several years and certainly shows no signs of going away in the national discourse.If a college education is meant to include developing social skills for their future place in the workforce and learning from other students of widely different backgrounds, doesn't it seem reasonable that all college students, regardless of gender identity, benefit from having trans classmates?I feel the same way about conservative students. Having young people of varying political backgrounds and viewpoints in good faith conversation with each other is a necessary thing for civic engagement and professional development, and it should be encouraged.It reminds me of a heartwarming conversation I read recently between two friends who met each other as law school students, one of them a trans progressive and the other a non-trans conservative.The conservative had a written a memoir in which he described his trans friend in a manner that he realized might not accurately reflect their identity. He wrote the friend an email apologizing for the error.The trans friend wrote him back with a kind reply, offering grace and understanding and good faith.The two signed off their respective emails with love, reflective of a long friendship that was built on trust, despite their divergent political views.The conservative in this story is J.D. Vance, and his trans friend—whom he would later betray by selling out to to horrific anti-trans views—is Sofia Nelson.So, maybe this expectation of sociocultural exchange doesn't guarantee good outcomes, especially when one of the parties throws away their value system for fame and power. It's almost as though J.D. Vance knows what he's saying about trans people is flat-out wrong and hateful and counterproductive, and he's decided that betraying people he claims to love—let alone an entire vulnerable community—is worth it.And that does beg the conclusion: if this is how he's used his Ivy League degree, it probably makes sense he imagines anyone else would lie to get one.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

Just James, Peter and Rob this week to wade through the disaster that has become of American higher education. Naturally, the essential question arises: what do we do about these once-prestigious institutions? The Ricochet trio think it through.

The recent turmoil, protests and an apparent lack of accountability at many prestigious American institutions of higher learning have begged a question: is an Ivy League education still worth the cost? Does the rarefied air of these schools for the elite still impress the American public the way it once did, not so long ago? If not, why and when did it happen? What's more, will it ever again.   In this episode of Trading Perspectives, Sam and John discuss the ongoing protests at numerous Northeastern colleges and universities and wonder whether these schools will return to position of prominence with the common man. The answer isn't as simple as yes.
