    Patrick Healy, deputy Opinion editor of NYT, talks to Masha Gessen, Tressie McMillan Cottom and Bret Stephens. He sounds reasonable right up until he decides the devil needs an advocate. I don't know how TMC restrains herself:

    "I’m going to pause here and ask you three — are professors, presidents and others awash in some kind of hysteria?
    [...] Are people being whipped into a frenzy — maybe suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome?"

      @kims Good lord. That entire piece with Healy and Stephens mansplaining to an actual professor as if they know infinitely more than her. She is amazing. I loved this quote:

      Cottom: I’m both a professor and someone who has studied higher education as a system. There are two things that overlap my professional experience and my expertise. One is how much we insist upon conflating a handful of elite colleges with all of “higher education,” when the vast majority of institutions are not particularly rich, elite or prestigious. The other is how much the beneficiaries of the small, powerful set of prestigious colleges and universities enjoy bashing the institutions they pay an arm and a leg to be affiliated with.

      Omg this part:

      "Stephens: I’d say the lowest-quality institutions created since the 1990s have names like Columbia and Berkeley — these are essentially factories of Maoist cadres taught by professors whose political views ranged almost exclusively from the left to the far left."

      Factories of Maoist cadres?!?!

      Her response:

      "Cottom: I would counter, Bret, that the lowest-quality institutions are the for-profit colleges created as paradigmatic economic theories of exchange value that churned out millions of students in “career ready” fields who found it hard to get a job worth the debt — colleges not unlike the one that our current dear leader once ran as a purely economic enterprise."
