YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe news of Claudine Gay's resignation as Harvard's president has sparked anger among those who say the university yielded to pressure from right-wing billionaires. Many argue that the orchestrated effort by the far-right to remove Harvard's first Black president is part of a broader history of undermining Black credentials. Joining Ali Velshi to discuss Gay's forced resignation and its implications for academia are scholars Eddie Glaude Jr., a professor in the African American Studies Department at Princeton University, and Jelani Cobb, a staff writer at the New Yorker and the dean of Columbia Journalism School.
