This week, we interviewed two people with leading roles in the
rapidly escalating conflict between the Trump administration and
American higher education.

Today, we speak with Christopher Rufo, who led the conservative
critique of, and assault on, critical race theory and diversity,
equity and inclusion efforts. Mr. Rufo’s vision and campaigning
have helped inspire Trump’s wide-ranging crackdown on higher
education.

Earlier, we talked with Christopher L. Eisgruber, the president
of Princeton University, about the institution’s path forward in
the face of drastic funding cuts, and his vow to protect academic
freedom at all costs. You can listen to that conversation here.

Guest: Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist and writer.

Background reading:

Mr. Rufo helped make critical race theory a conservative
rallying cry.
