How Ivy Leagues Are "Plundering Our Cities" - Davarian Baldwin Explains | Amanpour and Company

American universities could play a central role in the crusade for racial justice and reform. Instead, according to Davarian Baldwin, they often do the reverse. Baldwin is a historian, social theorist, and professor of American studies at Trinity College in Connecticut. His new book, “In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower: How Universities Are Plundering Our Cities”, is about high-end universities and their often negative impact on local residents of color. He explains to Hari Sreenivasan about how the influence of American universities might better be used.

Originally aired on April 27, 2021.
