Host: Albert Chiu
The United States higher education system has long been seen as among the best in the world. Ivy League campuses like Harvard and Yale regularly hold the highest spots on global lists of top universities. Even U.S. public colleges and smaller private schools are viewed as bastions of learning, free speech, and intellectual freedom. But is that all about to change? Long-running “culture wars” between American liberals and conservatives have escalated to new heights under U.S. President Donald Trump, as he seeks to crackdown on foreign students and threatens to take away their federal funding. Why is Trump going after Harvard and other universities? And what can universities do about his threats? Join us as we discuss Trump’s latest assault on U.S. higher education, and what it means for the future of American academia.
