Shannon Mattern's post about her resignation from Penn pulls no punches and is well worth a read https://wordsinspace.net/2025/06/30/i-prefer-weeds-to-ivy/

When I look at Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Kevin Hassett, and their ilk, I don’t (entirely?) blame Penn — but I do see in these alums the dangers of an instrumentalist, entrepreneurial education. I see what happens when you build a university around a business school, and then run a nation like a business; when education cultivates cunning that’s deployed for the purposes of deception and extraction. When I watch these men proudly perform their ignorance and egotism and fraudulence on screen, I’m embarrassed, appalled, and angry.
