A high school newspaper? Crimson Red.

Yeah, well, the Harvard Crimson, that's Harvard's newspaper also.

But Crimson Cryer, I haven't thought of that.

Maybe it is.

We of course also wanted to know whether she thinks it's going to destroy the Academy.

I was struck by a recent op-ed she wrote in the Harvard Crimson.

And among other things, Lepore riffs, actually on a title I think you came up with Len for a recent essay by the philosopher Anastasia Berg.

in our pages.

Until educators can defend the everything else, we'll be stuck having these kind of exhausting and pointless battles with people that, as far as I can tell, and here I am talking specifically to you, Mark Andrews, really don't know anything about education.

What you heard from the students at the College of Charleston, which I presume echoes what you've heard from your own students at Harvard and elsewhere, is like a good contrast with what the Dean of Harvard College, David Deming, recently suggested, which is that there should be acceptance or even encouragement of students using AI to assist them or write for them.

You wrote an op-ed in the Harvard Crimson recently in which you posed the question, has Harvard lost its mind? And so I want to ask you, Jill, has Harvard lost its mind?

No, but I was offering up a double entendre because later in the piece I talk about it's difficult to come up with, people have struggled to come up with a label for the kind of intellectual diminishment.

You're part of the problem.

Today's article is from the Harvard Crimson and the headline.

Wexner calls congressional Epstein deposition silly, says Democrats used it as a photo op.

Leslie H. Wexner, the billionaire retail magnate and best buddy of Jeffrey Epstein, accused House Democrats of turning his February deposition about Jeffrey Epstein into a photo op, saying in a Wednesday interview with the Crimson that lawmakers appeared more interested in the politics of the session than in questioning him.

So I could be found, you know, with my friends hanging out, you know, jumping around different activities.

I was on the Crimson for a while and I really loved working on the Crimson for a while.

I had a column in the Crimson, which I love doing.

I was also a PBH student.

volunteer and I loved going into, for two years, I went into Boston City classrooms as a volunteer.

Both doctors were serving on a zillion public health committees or really encouraging students to go into public service.

So I think back upon those two individuals, those huge influences at Harvard as well.

What was your column at the Crimson about?

Or at the very least, they've met before and had some association.

And the Harvard Crimson reported that two-time acting Harvard president Henry Rosofsky, among several other university affiliates, also contributed.

Lee Smolin, who taught physics at Yale from 84 to 88 as an assistant professor, has made major contributions to the field of theoretical physics, appears in Epstein's birthday book under the category of scientist.

In 2019, Smolin told The Verge, a technology news outlet, that he saw Epstein at scientific conferences in 2007 and had no contact with him since 2008.

All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.

the people in question, we're talking the Dubins and the Wexners of the world, how they're presented with a bit of a dilemma, right? The people who have been endowed, the people who have accepted the scholarships and the names of those people, now they have a bit of a moral dilemma on their hands.

So we're going to jump into this article from the Harvard Crimson.

And the headline is, for Kennedy School fellows, Epstein-Link donors present a moral dilemma.

He was a columnist and he was mad that they wouldn't give him any psilocybin.

So he took out, and it's fascinating to go back and read in the Harvard Crimson the things that an undergraduate, Andrew Weil, was saying.

And he absolutely blew the whistle on those guys.

And they got kicked out.

And for one college student, it's also prompted frustration with the role of consent as the threshold for ethical sex.

Yonah Sperling-Milnor writes in the Harvard Crimson that consent alone fails to protect people's dignity and humanity, and we wanted to talk about that.

Good morning, Yonah.

Good morning.

I think people really are looking for relationships that are built around respect and grounded in respect.

And to be able to say something a little bit more substantial than what I want from the sexual culture is that it re- should respect women's choices is, I think, an option that people embrace.

Yonah Sperling-Milnor, uh, wrote an opinion piece in The Harvard Crimson and joined us today.

Yonah, thank you so much.
