The elite institutions, including universities, are facing a crisis of legitimacy as they struggle to adapt to the changing beliefs of the populace, leading to internal conflicts about their direction.

The tension in the political atmosphere is draining out, contrasting sharply with the feelings of chaos and conflict from 2016. I'm cautiously optimistic that institutions and leaders are ready to move past the drama of the last decade.

While the situation in academia is dire, there is hope that new leadership and a commitment to intellectual freedom can revitalize these institutions and restore their foundational principles.

Leaders in chaotic situations must step back, assess the situation, and make decisions rather than getting caught up in the confusion.

Many elite institutions have broken down and are no longer elite, leading to a generation of students who are really lost and unclear about what to do.

As organizations grow, the challenge becomes maintaining a clear focus on principles and values, especially when faced with changes and new challenges.

Organizations often lose sight of their original goals over time due to generational turnover, leading to misalignment between current leaders and the founding mission.

We must focus on common-sense solutions to improve education and put aside party politics to truly help our children succeed.

People are ready for a message that emphasizes ethics and responsibility rather than just freedom and rights, as we've ignored this reality for too long.
