A new Boston Globe podcast digs into 'culture wars at Harvard

Protests against Israel's war in Gaza surged on college campuses this past year. Presidents of universities were put under a microscope, some were called to Congress to answer for their statements and actions. Harvard's first Black president, Claudine Gay, was among them. She did not withstand the scrutiny.

A new podcast from the Boston Globe explores Gay’s short, troubled tenure as president and universities' role in a democracy.

Today on Radio Boston we spoke to Ilya Maritz, the reporter and host of the podcast series.
