Transcript
Look, I believe in the fierce independence of our educational institutions and I worry that if we are swaying in one direction or another based on who is in office, then we don't have the trust of the American people. And I think we failed in some ways to show that we could self-regulate and do that ourselves. But the goal in my mind is to get back to a place where it's clear that universities aren't political organizations, aren't taking a position, that we are focused on bringing the best and brightest to go out and contribute to our democracy and we can do that ourselves. Why have we been losing trust and confidence to grossly oversimplify its
cost, its career and its culture? The cost thing came up, you know, are the career opportunities there? and by culture it's sort of have things got too progressive or not a tolerant enough of viewpoint diversity. Those are all reasonable things to talk about. The questions that are being asked under this administration and even before that many of them it's like yeah we need to be more reflective. I think there's too little viewpoint diversity.
