YouTube description
Today, I'm joined by Jennifer Frey. Jennifer built a new honors college at the University of Tulsa, drawing in huge number of students with a curriculum based on close reading classic books. Then, the university ended it. I brought her on to tell her story and discuss the value of a liberal education.
