How long until full Trumpismo?
Erstwhile humanities scholar (I personally love the humanities) and current anti-higher ed propagandist for the right Tyler Austin Harper has now decided his position is that “entire fields of the social sciences” are “functionally fake” and “basically witchcraft with Data.”

Yale dropped 'improving the world' from its motto, endorsed the creation of a "civic education initiative" (a wink & nod to the right-wing), and promoted 'viewpoint diversity' all but in name so it's disappointing, but not entirely surprising that its administration would make a deal with Trump.
Fresh off of endorsing Chris Rufo —by name—and his vision to destroy higher education, Yale is rushing to help the Trump admin resegregate education. An absolute disgrace.
