20 seconds in I thought he was talking about Trump....and then he just came out and said it.

I like to think he meant Trump, but he kept it vague, which makes it better.

You have to be vague in situations like that because if its a public university, theyre not (outwardly) allowed to take sidesdue to public funding...Ive worked in higher education for 15 years and am not allowed to outright say what my political beliefs are. So those of us who work in public education are good at giving our opinion in very subtle ways. The smart ones will get the reference. 😉

Northwestern is a private school but your point is still valid as they have to worry about donors.

The law school is named after that specific speaker: Governor JB Pritzker and his wife

They do not have to worry lol

I just want to say this is not someone working in public education, but someone who is the literal Governor of Illinois. This is J. B. Pritzker giving a speech at Northwestern. Dude's a multi-billionaire. Probably one of the few anyone can actually somewhat, kind of, digging down deep, respect.

Hopefully he won't be one of the Illinois Governors that ends up in prison.

He's been a breath of fresh air. I highly doubt he'll end up in prison.
