Why This New College Might Save Higher Education | Chris Rufo & Stephen Blackwood

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Christopher Rufo and Stephen Blackwood, the founder of Ralston College, about the current state of universities in America and the recent unrest on campuses. Stephen Blackwood discusses his aim to create a university that emulates the best aspects of historical universities, focusing on gifted scholars, eager students, and a strong sense of community. Christopher Rufo discusses his work in exposing corruption in institutions and the need for creative destruction to allow for new growth; how the current state of universities presents an opportunity for new institutions like Ralston College to thrive; and much more.
