I’d love to know what metric we’ll use to determine who is or isn’t a great scholar/author or a business/political leader.
Bernie Sanders could well count in the view of some (US senator, prominent presidential candidate), while others would judge him more a rabble-rouser than a leader.
Susan Sontag, most would agree, is a great author. Would the next E.L. James count? What about John Green? Where do we draw the line between “popular fiction” and “great writing?”
Great scholar, great author, business leader, political leader: these are rather fuzzy terms, and I’m not sure they can be used as in designing an objective metric to assess a university.
