Universities have been in the crosshairs of the White House since
President Trump took office — and Princeton University president
Christopher Eisgruber is one of a handful of college administrators
who have spoken out against it. Kara speaks to the Eisgruber
about his new book, Terms of Respect: How Colleges Get Free Speech
Right, and right-wing attacks on universities that come under the
guise of free speech, including from the late conservative activist
Charlie Kirk and his organization Turning Point USA. They discuss
why some campus leaders have fought against (and others have
complied) with the Trump administration’s investigations into
allegations of antisemitism and demands to overhaul diversity
programs in college admissions and hiring. And they talk about the
long-term impacts of losing academic freedom on the reputation and
success of US higher education, the economy and society as a
whole. Please note: this interview was recorded on Monday
September 29th, before President Trump said his administration was
nearing a deal with Harvard while it also began a process called
debarment that could allow it to bar the university from future
federal grants. Want to see Kara (and Scott Galloway) live on
