How to Sell a University
Nido Qubein remade High Point University from a struggling college to booming campus known for “wow” amenities. He’s not done yet.

@bgrueskin.bsky.social The NYT play of the protests story was just weird, on web/ app and print. The cooking up of a "why we're not saying millions of people" sidebar, and the obvious pre-protest decision to keep the coverage midpage all day. Would love to know what convos are happening in there.
