I am a proud alum of Bowdoin College. If my college experience that helped me analyze problems, work with data and information, weigh alternatives and develop creative solutions is anything like Mr. Mamdani’s, NYC will be in good hands.
We cannot expect different results if we slavishly follow convention. Mr. Mamdani will be greatly challenged and tested, but if even a few of his ideas improve our world, I will rejoice for him.
Great essay. After studying journalism for a year and a half back in 73 & 74, I came the conclusion that the profession was way too hard for me and dropped out. Instead I went back to school later and received a BA in recreation. I eventually retired after 29 years of working with the mentally ill. Working with the mentally ill was much easier.
Even though journalists study how to be a journalist and the ethics and standards behind it there's really no licensed requirement to work in the industry. Do you think there should be something like that to ensure some kind of accountability?

73 years old and still learning, I hope.

The attack on higher ed is so maoist, yet magas will express their devotion to trump because he is 'saving' us from communist China.
