Not Woke, Just Weak: Illya Shapiro Blasts Spineless Campus Leadership

College presidents aren’t radicals—they’re risk-averse climbers afraid to stand for anything.

Illya Shapiro goes in on what’s actually wrong with most college presidents—and it’s not what you think.

“They’re not woke radicals… they’re spineless cowards. Just careerists climbing the bureaucratic pole.”

He’s making the case that campus leadership doesn’t need a revolution—just guts.

Presidents and deans are great at pushing values they care about. Social justice? Entrepreneurship? Public service? No problem. So why not use that same energy to champion open inquiry and civil discourse?

“They can and should do that for open inquiry and civil discourse, concretely.”

Hard to argue with this one. Worth a listen. 🔥
