Students are at the very core of higher education; thus equitable participation is my first principle for comprehensive higher- education reform. The second is democratic self-governance, which rests on a long American tradition of academic freedom and autonomy that has rarely been fully realized

Bacon: Project 2025 was done by the Heritage Foundation, a well-known conservative think tank. A lot of the things that are happening now in the Democratic Party are happening from either candidates themselves, politicians, the Center for American Progress, the Roosevelt Institute. These are all think tanks that are very tight with the party. You all are not a party or affiliated think tank in a certain way. You’re not in office. How are you going to socialize your ideas in the way that … you’re not in the party. You don’t really want to be. How do you get your ideas moved within the party without this being-inside-of-it sense?
Bacon: Do you mean to invoke Reconstruction as in the post-Civil War? Gurri: Yeah, absolutely. So there’s a few things, right? Reconstruction, the original one, is both an inspiration and a caution, because they had the right idea. They weren’t just passing amendments to change what legal rights we had, which was obviously one thing they did do. But the whole goal of it, the whole idea of Reconstruction, was the slave power was not just a legal entity. It was an institution that had social and political power, and in order to actually destroy it, you couldn’t just outlaw slavery. You had to actually break the political arrangement, break the economic organization of the South in such a way that it wouldn’t come back.
