The academic community is currently engaged in a debate over the future of higher education following the resignation of Claudine Gay as Harvard president amidst an Ivy League plagiarism scandal. Nancy MacLean, a scholar who studies conservative social movements, appeared on the “Say More with Shirley Leung” podcast, suggesting that Gay's departure is part of a broader, well-funded campaign to change higher education. The conversation has attracted the attention of Canadian political figures, as indicated by a tweet tagging Pierre Poilievre and Justin Trudeau, emphasizing the importance of the state of Canadian universities. The issue has also been discussed by UnHerd, which hosted a debate featuring Peter Boghossian and others on whether to completely overhaul or reform universities from within. Jordan Peterson announced the launch of @petersonacademy, citing systemic issues within universities as the impetus for creating an alternative educational institution.
