The Biden administration unveiled a plan that would push American hospitals to prioritize low-income patients when performing kidney transplants, a move Health and Human Services secretary Xavier Becerra says is aimed at rooting out “racial inequities” in the “transplant process.”

The proposal, which Becerra’s agency announced on May 8, would place 90 of the nation’s 257 transplant hospitals into a pilot program that uses an annual point system to grade participants. Under the system, a successful kidney transplant counts as one point.

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik is urging university leaders across the country to do some “serious soul searching.” Good advice. She should start with her own soul. Shafik has the wrong idea about the purpose of a university.

She and likeminded college presidents are turning preeminent universities into factories, churning out social activists who are adept at shouting down their opponents, squaring off against cops, and vandalizing buildings but who acquire little knowledge and few reasoning skills during college.

Harvard, Yale, UPenn, and Stanford are searching for new presidents. Cornell joined the ranks last week when its president Martha E. Pollack resigned.
