Turmoil continues at Chautauqua Institution, a 151-year-old cultural center in New York, even after the successful ousting of its president. Bitter divisions have emerged following the attack on Salman Rushdie in 2022, with splinter groups calling for the entire administration to be sacked. The institution is facing financial challenges, but its endowment is at an all-time high and it is on track to complete a $150 million fundraising campaign. The next president will need to address the institution's identity and whether it can continue to be a place for people of all political tribes to debate charged topics and enjoy each other's company.
