Dr. Rupa Marya insists that now is the time for faculty, especially those in medicine, to speak up against injustices in academia and across the world. It is imperative to tell your story, to find allies, and to develop digital safety practices.

Corruption of the highest order. These elite, highly selective institutions are only interested in applying standards to the masses and their children. For the potential donors, no favor is too much. No accommodations are too extreme. No red lines exist. Abominable! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/n...

How extensive is this corruption? Frankly, the blind quest for funding regardless of ethical and moral considerations in higher education is abominable. Have we learned any lessons about the road to hell character of these money grubbing tendencies? Not necessarily.
