An UNMUTED Debate: Have the Ivies Failed America?

​DOORS OPEN AT 6:30, SHOW STARTS AT 7

​Eight schools. A sliver of America's students. And somehow a staggering share of its presidents, judges, CEOs, editors, and Nobel laureates. No institution in American life concentrates prestige like the Ivy League. The only question is whether that's a scandal or an achievement.

​So: did the Ivy League fail America, or is it the last thing we're still getting right?

​Arguing against the Ivies, Mark Carlson is a reformed elitist and high finance professional with scary amount of non-fiction books in his apartment. He claims to have seen the rot from the inside at Columbia University.

​Arguing for the Ivies, Victor Agbafe is the most Ivy decorated person UNMUTED knows. A graduate of Harvard College, Yale Law and School of Management, and UMichigan, this guy lives and breaths these institution.

​Moderated by Maura Cremin, a half-elitist (non-ivy undergrad + Harvard Law) and MC'd by Grace Weinstein of the Recount. Let's get it on. Drinks provided.

​UNMUTED is the place where talking points go to die. Talk politics. Keep your friends. Make new ones.
