The War on America’s Elite Universities and Colleges

As the Trump administration intensifies its attempts to reshape U.S. colleges and universities, Christiane Amanpour speaks to those who are pushing back. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey talks about her concerns as her state is targeted by the Republican White House and Wesleyan University President Michael S. Roth discusses why he believes the Trump Administration is, in his words, “selling Jews a dangerous lie” by claiming its crackdown is to combat Anti-Semitism. Then, Mike Valerio’s report on how South Korean women are fighting against explicit images made with AI deepfakes. Also, British playwright Ryan Calais Cameron discusses his timely West End smash, ‘Retrograde’, a play revealing how Sidney Poitier’s career was almost derailed by the Red Scare. Plus, as Sudan marks two years of its devastating war, an echo from history as Christiane revisits her reporting on the humanitarian crisis in Darfur in 2004. And finally, a tribute to a giant of Latin American literature, Mario Vargas Llosa. As the Peruvian author dies aged 89, Christiane looks back at their conversation when he told her how he got started by writing love letters. Learn more about your ad choices.
