Miscellaneous


This week's episode features an hourlong discussion with DePauw University President Dr. Mark McCoy. We begin by unpacking the conclusion of the Mueller investigation and discuss its ramifications. Next, we talk about the politics of being a university president: Was the selection process “political”? How does one appease myriad constituencies? What is the best approach to communicating controversial decisions? The conversation then moves to free speech on campus as we discuss Trump’s recent executive order on conservative speech. We conclude with a conversation on Dr. McCoy’s policy advocacy and why he chooses to speak out on political issues that impact DePauw students.
