Representative Elise Stefanik joins host Karin Lips on The Conservative Woman’s Guide to discuss her new book, Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America's Elite Universities.

From her early days in the Bush White House to becoming the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Rep. Stefanik’s path prepared her for one of the most consequential congressional hearings in modern political history. The exchange of her questioning university presidents on antisemitism following October 7th captured global attention, triggered major resignations, and fueled a national debate over free speech, accountability, and leadership in higher education.

School-by-school, Poisoned Ivies audits supposed leaders in American academia. A Harvard graduate herself, Rep. Stefanik considers ways elite institutions might recover.

Rep. Stefanik shares what’s next for her in Congress and beyond as she exits Congress to focus on raising her son in upstate New York.
