In this episode, we speak with Dr. Charles H.F. Davis III about the increasingly repressive conditions on university campuses, particularly in the context of Columbia University's caving in to federal pressures under the thumb of Trump's administration. We explore the broader implications of these concessions at the expense of liberalized notions of intellectual and academic freedom, student activism, and the role of universities as sites of political struggle. Dr. Davis highlights the historical and ongoing repression of student activism, particularly pro-Palestinian movements, and critiques the legal and institutional frameworks that perpetuate these violences. We also delve into the limitations of liberalism in fending off fascist infringement and the active participation of universities in maintaining these structures of domination. We also touch on the historical collaboration between Zionist organizations and U.S. universities, the erosion of diversity and inclusion initiatives, and the broader implications for the future of higher education. Dr. Charles H.F. Davis III is a third-generation educator, organizer, and artist. He is a faculty member in the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education and director of the Campus Abolition Research Lab at the University of Michigan. His research and teaching broadly explore the racialized consequences of higher education on society, including the role of colleges and universities in limiting the life-making possibilities of Black and other racialized communities.

US President, Donald Trump, has cancelled over $400 million US dollars, or roughly $697 million New Zealand dollars, worth of research grants and contracts at Columbia University, as leaders at the university move to alter campus and academic policies to align with what the Trump Administration are demanding. Many believe this is the Trump Administration ‘overreaching,' their power into universities in the country and how they choose to operate. On Friday, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to a Senior Politics and International Relations Lecturer at the University of Auckland, Tim Fadgen, about Trump's moves, and if we could see something similar here in Aotearoa. They started off by asking what the Trump Administration is wanting to change about how Columbia University operates.

Children of the wealthy and connected get special admissions consideration at some elite U.S. universities, according to new filings in a class-action lawsuit originally brought against 17 schools. Although it has always been assumed that such favoritism exists, the filings offer a rare peek at the often-secret deliberations of university heads and admissions officials. They show how schools admit otherwise unqualified wealthy children because their parents have connections and could possibly donate large sums down the line, raising questions about fairness. The filings are the latest salvo in a lawsuit that claims that 17 of the nation's most prestigious colleges colluded to reduce the competition for prospective students and drive down the amount of financial aid they would offer, all while giving special preference to the children of wealthy donors. Since the lawsuit was filed, 10 of the schools have reached settlements to pay out a total of $284 million, including payments of up to $2,000 to current or former students whose financial aid might have been shortchanged over a period of more than two decades. Johns Hopkins is working on a settlement and the six schools still fighting the lawsuit are the California Institute of Technology, Cornell, Georgetown, MIT, Notre Dame, and the University of Pennsylvania. MIT called the lawsuit and the claims about admissions favoritism baseless. “MIT has no history of wealth favoritism in its admissions; quite the opposite,” university spokesperson Kimberly Allen said. “After years of discovery in which millions of documents were produced that provide an overwhelming record of independence in our admissions process, plaintiffs could cite just a single instance in which the recommendation of a board member helped sway the decisions for two undergraduate applicants.” Notre Dame officials also called the case baseless. “We are confident that every student admitted to Notre Dame is fully qualified and ready to succeed,” a university spokesperson said in a statement. Some of the examples pointed to in December's court filings showed that just being able to pay full tuition would give students an advantage. During a deposition, a former Vanderbilt admissions director said that in some cases, a student would get an edge on the waitlist if they didn't need financial aid.

John was born on the Greek Island of Nisyros in 1948 and 6 months later his parents emigrated to New York City in search of a better life. They settled on 135th Street in Harlem and his father found work as a busboy and his mother was a stay-at-home mom. John is a true son of New York; he was educated in both the parochial and public school systems earning his high school diploma from Brooklyn Tech.

At least 20 board members at California public universities have high level ties to the fossil fuel industry, according to a new analysis by Sunstone Strategies.

It's been a 40-year fight in the United States over affirmative action, or taking race into consideration for university admissions. Now, students and schools are adjusting to a new reality after the US Supreme Court reversed the precedent. The ruling is the culmination of a concerted legal campaign by conservative activist Edward Blum and his organization Students for Fair Admissions. Some US universities have stopped using affirmative action, in the past, and the results show fewer minority students enrolled at their institutions. So how will this nationwide decision change demographics – and how will that change students' futures?

Robert Torricelli, former U.S. Senator from New Jersey, discusses protestors in Iran and free speech censorship on America's college campuses. Torricelli comments that this trend is “troubling, and I don't know how we get out of it. And the odd thing about it is, it is the very institutions which have been the safeguard of American free thought and speech, American universities, think-tanks, the media, who are the worst offenders. We've entered in this period of American history, where are the range of permissible thought and speech has so narrowed, that if you depart from it at all, you are labeled, you are censored, and you are silenced.” The former Democrat senator comments, “It's incredibly dangerous. But who would have believed, the Founding Fathers would have been astounded that at a point in history American free thought and speech was challenged. And it didn't come from a foreign adversary, it didn't come from a radical political movement. It came from our own institutions, by labeling people whether it's a racist, or antisemitic, or whatever other unattractive label, or simply claiming that the speech was unacceptable, because it's out of the norm. A free society moves in its' thoughts by people who are out of the norm. We've progressed by people who are a step ahead in their thinking, you don't progress by maintaining the status quo. I wish I could tell you how I thought that we could escape from this, I just I don't know, but it scares me to death.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
