Bari Weiss has started a new "university"

[FelineOverlord]

It doesn’t offer degrees and the “faculty” is a train wreck.

1. I think Pano Kanelos will be the person at the helm not Weiss

She's not starting it, exactly. She's on the Board of Advisors. She was quoting from Kanelos (who guest wrote on her substack).

Here are others involved (from the substack written by Kanelos):

Our project began with a small gathering of those concerned about the state of higher education—Niall Ferguson, Bari Weiss, Heather Heying, Joe Lonsdale, Arthur Brooks, and I—and we have since been joined by many others, including the brave professors mentioned above, Kathleen Stock, Dorian Abbot and Peter Boghossian.

We count among our numbers university presidents: Robert Zimmer, Larry Summers, John Nunes, and Gordon Gee, and leading academics, such as Steven Pinker, Deirdre McCloskey, Leon Kass, Jonathan Haidt, Glenn Loury, Joshua Katz, Vickie Sullivan, Geoffrey Stone, Bill McClay, and Tyler Cowen.

We are also joined by journalists, artists, philanthropists, researchers, and public intellectuals, including Lex Fridman, Andrew Sullivan, Rob Henderson, Caitlin Flanagan, David Mamet, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Sohrab Ahmari, Stacy Hock, Jonathan Rauch, and Nadine Strossen.

3. The project began with......I

Someone concerned with the state of higher education should know when to say "and me" instead of "and I".

4. Does it matter that the sentence uses I as the subject

not the indirect object?

[Me.]

2. Ah Yes, Bari Weiss

so what are you actually paying for...their version of Ted Talks?

5. So...trump U, version 2.0?
