  • Scott Galloway Unloads on Higher Ed

    Scott Galloway Unloads on Higher Ed
    Mar 4 2026
    Scott Galloway, a prolific podcaster and marketing professor at New York University, has had enough. For anyone who knows Galloway’s schtick, that’s not too surprising. On his popular podcast, Pivot, which he co-hosts with Kara Swisher, variations on the theme of Galloway reaching his limit are practically a recurring segment. But few things set Galloway off quite like highly selective universities, which he says have unscrupulously constrained enrollments to justify unfathomable tuition increases. The catch? Galloway has spent his career at just such a university — and he’d be “crushed” if his son didn’t get admitted to one.

  • Inside the Epstein Files

    Inside the Epstein Files
    Feb 25 2026
    The Justice Department’s recent release of millions of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died by suicide in 2019, shines a harsh light on a privileged network of scholars who had entered his orbit. Throughout the documents, professors butter up the financier to fund their pet projects, banter crudely about women, and appear to overlook the criminality of a man who had already been convicted on prostitution-related charges involving a minor. What do the documents reveal about the gilded world of high-profile scholarship — and about elite higher ed’s fraught relationship with money, power, and prestige?

  • The Higher Ed Group Fighting Trump

    The Higher Ed Group Fighting Trump
    Feb 18 2026
    As president of the American Council on Education, Ted Mitchell is at the tip of the spear. A year ago, when the Trump administration moved to slash federal research funding, ACE joined a lawsuit to stop the cuts. This was a major departure for the influential higher-ed advocacy group, which is hardly ever a plaintiff in litigation. In Trump’s second term, ACE has taken a notably pugilistic approach. In addition to fighting in courtrooms, Mitchell has been active in the court of public opinion, casting the Trump administration’s agenda as both unlawful and unwise. But not everyone agrees on the nature of the Trump threat or how to respond to it, which puts Mitchell in a tricky spot. Can he unite this disparate constituency?
