Welcome to the second episode of "Arguable," where Dhruva Bhat and Utkarsh Amitabh engage in a discussion about the role of universities in political discourse. Between them, Dhruva and Utkarsh have studied at some of India and the world's top universities: Harvard, Oxford, Wharton, INSEAD and Ashoka. They bring their experience in education to the question: should universities take political stances, or should they remain neutral?
In this podcast, we talk about the history of protest and political statements at universities, the growing distrust in higher education globally, and the benefits of a bottom-up versus a top-down approach to political discourse. Along the way, we explore the challenges of addressing diversity and inclusion in higher education, debating how universities can balance the need for fairness in admissions with the goal of fostering a diverse academic environment. What does this mean for the future of higher education and its role in society? And how should universities navigate the fine line between political engagement and neutrality? Tune in to this episode of "Arguable" to find out.
