On November 6, political journalist Matt Bai (A’90) spoke to an audience of students, faculty, and other community members in the Alumnae Lounge. This was the second of four presentations this semester in the Tisch College Distinguished Speaker series, which also hosted Elizabeth Warren in October and will bring Mayor Marty Walsh to campus in December.

Hear Bai speak about his new book, why it’s especially difficult to be a politician today, and how our obsession with scandal is affecting the efficacy of our political system below.
