Your Hotties are back with some topical culture and higher ed news to liven up your Wednesday! First up, the Harvard admissions lawsuit [1:16]: CT & KW discuss how it came to be, the problems with the model minority myth, and why using race in admissions decisions is important. Then, A STAR IS BORN [17:12]! Why is this movie at least 10 times better than it has any right to be? Why did they do that (do that, do that, do that) to us? Of course, the Hotties have culture for you to Get Involved with [37:46]. Join them, won’t you?
