Jamil Smith fills in for Brian today. You'll hear:

• Evan Siegfried, Republican strategist and commentator and the author of GOP GPS: How to Find the Millennials and Urban Voters the Republican Party Needs to Survive (Skyhorse Publishing, 2016), talks about the national political news of the day.
• A faculty committee at Harvard has recommended the university phase out fraternities, sororities and final clubs. Walter Kimbrough, president of Dillard University and the author of Black Greek 101: The Culture, Customs, and Challenges of Black Fraternities and Sororities (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2003), and Alexandra Brodsky, civil rights attorney and Skadden Fellow at National Women's Law Center, co-founder Know Your IX, talk about the kind of culture the faculty committee is trying to end at Harvard, including hazing, binge drinking, rape culture and bigotry.
• Emma Fitzsimmons, transit reporter for The New York Times, discusses what it means to be a New Yorker in this age of subway dysfunction, and how the MTA has become an unwelcome intrusion in our social and economic lives.
• L. Joy Williams, president of the Brooklyn National Association for the Advanced of Colored People (NAACP) and creator and host of Sunday Civics podcast, explains the importance of civic action, and argues it falls to schools to teach students how to become active participants in democracy at an early age.
