Scott Galloway Unloads on Higher Ed

Scott Galloway, a prolific podcaster and marketing professor at New York University, has had enough. For anyone who knows Galloway’s schtick, that’s not too surprising. On his popular podcast, Pivot, which he co-hosts with Kara Swisher, variations on the theme of Galloway reaching his limit are practically a recurring segment. But few things set Galloway off quite like highly selective universities, which he says have unscrupulously constrained enrollments to justify unfathomable tuition increases. The catch? Galloway has spent his career at just such a university — and he’d be “crushed” if his son didn’t get admitted to one.
