“You may be right that if we bend over and tell Chris Ruffo to hit us in the ass, that he won't really hit us that hard next time, because we're being so nice and bend over for him,” says Wesleyan president Michael Roth, discussing the famed anti-DEI crusader in this week’s episode of The Syllabus. “But I actually don't think that’s true.” Syllabus podcast host Mark Oppenheimer gets Roth to open up about legacy preferences, academic bias in college athletics, artificial intelligence, the history of the student, and recent controversies surrounding Claudine Gay and plagiarism in academia. Guest Bio: Michael S. Roth became president of Wesleyan University in 2007. He has published several books, the most recent being The Student, A Short History.Stay informed about this podcast and all of AJU's latest programs and offerings by subscribing to our mailing list HERE (https://www.aju.edu/about-aju/contact-aju) If you'd like to support AJU and this podcast, please consider donating to us at aju.edu/donate (https://open.aju.edu/donate/)

Every week, a different guest joins Mark Oppenheimer to talk about politics on American college campuses. Politics are roiling college campuses across the United States. Whether the topic is the Middle East, affirmative action, Title IX, or something else, students and faculty seem to have controversial opinions—and they aren't being very civil in talking about them. To cut through the noise, and to find out what teachers and students really think, journalist, historian, sometime professor, and college administrator Mark Oppenheimer is joined by teachers, students, and administrators to give their uncensored view from the ground (or the quadrangle, or the fraternity or sorority house, or the dining hall, or the dorm, or the playing field). The Syllabus is produced by the Office of Open Learning at American Jewish University in partnership with Inside Higher Ed.
