Professor Says Michael Arrington Lives In An Ivory Tower (TCTV)

Last night, hundreds of UC Berkeley students like myself sat in a packed auditorium to hear Michael Arrington speak with visiting Berkeley scholar, entrepreneur, and TechCrunch contributor, Professor Vivek Wadhwa. What was expected to be a mild discussion turned into a heated debate. Wadhwa firmly disagreed with Arrington on key topics on the agenda for the night such as the worth of a college education and, you guessed it, women in tech. Arrington started off the talk saying what a room full of professors and college students dreaded to hear?that a college education can hinder instead of help the path of a brilliant entrepreneur. While he thought that for most of us college is a necessary stage for maturing, he half-joked that for the Zuckerbergs out there ?The best thing in the world is to go to Harvard for a year and drop out. Everyone knows you were smart enough to get in?.
