Is DEI fixing higher education – or breaking it? Ravi explores this question with New York Times journalist Nick Confessore and University of Michigan Regent Jordan Acker, using Michigan as a case study to better understand what happens when a university’s mission collides with ideology.
Nick shares more about his investigative reporting on how diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives have grown into sprawling bureaucracies and sparked tensions over free expression, identity, and academic priorities. Jordan then joins Ravi to share his personal experience as a public official under attack amid escalating campus activism, how DEI programs have struggled to meet the moment in polarized times and what these fault lines suggest about the future of higher education.

Ravi dives into a new series from The Economist that examines how the U.S. economy has outperformed much of the world over the past 30 years and the key factors driving the country’s success.
Next, he sits down with Beth Hawkins from The 74 to discuss the key differences between the presidential candidates’ proposed education policies and how Project 2025 could impact America’s schools. They then turn to New Orleans, where it’s been nearly two decades since Hurricane Katrina forced a full reinvention of the city’s schools. Ravi and Beth explore the lessons learned over the past 20 years and explain why the future of education policy could hinge on perceptions of New Orleans’ educational progress.
