She cited the Yale administrations failure to stave off inappropriate influence over the curriculum from the programs donors. The Grand Strategy program, a year-long statecraft and politics course that accepts about 20 undergraduate and graduate students, is backed by two donors Nicholas F. Brady 52, a former United States treasury secretary under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and conservative donor Charles B. Johnson 54, who gave the largest donation in Yales history. Gage, a tenured professor in the history department, began steering the program in 2017 and has since added studies in U.S. civil rights and other grassroots movements to its curriculum. For years, Gage told the New York Times, Brady and Johnson did not exercise influence over the programs curriculum or slate of lecturers. But after the 2020 presidential election, a Times op-ed by Professor of Political Science and Humanities and Grand Strategy guest practitioner Bryan Garsten prompted Brady to begin pushing for changes to the program, telling Gage that she had not been teaching it the way Henry Kissinger would. In the months following the publication of Garstens op-ed, the University moved to institute a new advisory board to oversee the course. To do so, Yale seized on a previously-unused measure in the bylaws of the 2006 gift agreement allowing for an external five-member board of visitors to advise on practitioner appointments. Brady and Johnson suggested several members who were ultimately chosen to join the advisory board. These people included Kissinger, the former secretary of state under President Richard Nixon, as well as Stephen J. Hadley, former national security adviser to George W. Bush and Thomas H. Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey. Its very difficult to teach effectively or creatively in a situation where you are being second-guessed and undermined and not protected, Gage told the Times. --- The artist formerly known as RebelElite791 <cite>Lorkhan posted [p:958571330] in More cance...
