I opined today with @frankiegraziano.bsky.social and Wesleyan University’s President Roth on the Wheelhouse about the end of affirmative action in admissions but the continuing need for diversity on college campuses. My Big Sister listened, and told me I did okay! www.ctpublic.org/show/the-whe...

Wesleyan's Michael Roth on Trump, diversity and college admissions

How colleges and universities are prioritizing equity in education in an age when the Supreme Court says race cannot factor into the admission decision-making process.

It’s a privilege of a lifetime to have Bilal come on essentially whenever we ask. We even pitch storylines together before shows are conceived. The man is a treasure and a bright light in a time where hopes are dim for many

Yale’s Bad Bunny course begins this fall, but I imagine the curriculum has been shifting all summer — as Benito’s Puerto Rico residency “No me quiero ir de aqui” begins this week and his politics, as seen in the “NUEVAYoL” music video that dropped on the Fourth of July, only get louder and prouder.

From Yale’s ivory tower to the Statue of Liberty, Bad Bunny puts Puerto Rico, politics on the agenda

The professor of Yale University’s new Bad Bunny course breaks down the politics of the Puerto Rican artist in these especially fraught times for Latinos on the U.S. mainland.
