| 0:00.0 | It's Monday, December 11, 2023. I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily |
| 0:10.2 | analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. |
| 0:13.7 | As we went into the weekend, one of the biggest stories in the United States had to do with |
| 0:18.5 | controversy surrounding three universities and in particular the presidents of those universities. |
| 0:24.4 | The universities would be Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts |
| 0:28.8 | Institute of Technology, and what all three of those presidents shared in common was that they had appeared |
| 0:34.4 | before a House Committee and quite frankly all three of them committed absolute |
| 0:38.9 | malpractice as not only a university president but as a human being with any kind of decent moral compass. |

| 1:24.4 | professor by professor, student group by student group. |
| 1:27.7 | But now we have absolute proof, and we also have ample documentation. The Rot by no surprise starts at the top. |
| 1:36.1 | But over the weekend, three presidents became two presidents and a former president, and in |
| 1:41.3 | all likelihood the pressure for termination or for resignation is likely only to grow |
| 1:46.7 | when it comes to the presidents of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. |
| 1:52.1 | Elizabeth McGill who appeared last week before Congress as the President of the University of Pennsylvania, |
| 1:58.0 | is now very quickly to be the former President of the University of Pennsylvania. |
