Bard College Pres. on Private Schools for the Common Good
Can private schools work for the common good? Leon Botstein believes they can. He has spent the past 45 years promoting that very ethos as president of Bard College. Botstein’s approach to the common good at Bard College has seen the school extend education opportunities to disadvantaged youth around the world and to inmates inside America’s sprawling prison system. He joins the show to discuss.
