Higher Ed is big, corporate/political business these days.
A few years ago Harvard made an offer to any despot that if they would relinquish power they could get housing and a position at Harvard. Never heard any more about that.
Bingo, big time.
Was this ever in doubt? What's next liberal feminist secular humanism in every classroom? Forced quack vaccinations?
