NOW HELD OVER Through March 16! Lauren Fein is at the top of her game. Happily married with a foster son, she is a world-renowned scientist and tenured professor at an elite university.  She’s on the verge of a breakthrough in her life’s work when she runs afoul of the university’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies.   Suddenly, her groundbreaking research, her tenure, and even her family are all put in danger.
