In defense of diversity: what’s behind the attacks, and what’s coming next

UW-Madison clinical law professor Steve Wright joins the show to bring some expertise to our ongoing discussions of the anti-DEI efforts targeting programs at UW-Madison and other institutions. Then Rob Chappell speaks with Madison School Board president Nichelle Nichols about the search for a new superintendent of schools, the three finalists for the job and how you can get involved. Finally, in honor of Sun Prairie West High School’s recent TedX event, we ask the team: what’s your Ted talk about?
