Babson is very good but not Ivy League-ish business school known especially for teaching and encouraging entrepreneurs. That doesn't make them totally immune from being an academic institution nor being in the people's republic of MA, however ... it's well known for having professors and speakers from and being networked in with legitimate entrepreneurs who actually risked things to make something productive for themselves and the world.

When I saw it was Babson, I wasn't that surprised they canned him. Sounds like they have weathered the plague in academia better than most others.

His last name is pronounced Fonzi. At first he was suspended with pay. Jeff Kuhner and Howie Carr were all over this...especially since Babson suspended their students for beeping their car horns at Wellsley College in celebration when Trump was elected. Oh the horror!

Still, they caved and created a completely useless, do-nothing “Director of Sustainability” position which does nothing but jack up prices and create much more overhead and administrative burden. Is there a single educational institution that doesn’t succumb to the latest prog fads? Education, in particular, quickly adopts all the lunatic ideas that come down the Prog Pike.
