>> from the narrow straits i call out to you, you, god, answered me with expanse. in the chambers of justice ginsburg hangs a framed piece of art that reads justice, justice, you must pursue. a command in the 16th chapter of dueteronomy. assigns meaning to every single word in the torah, so there must be a reason why justice is written twice. the repetition here teaches even ezra, a medieval rabbi, that time and time again all of the
7:11 am
case of your life you must pursue justice. this was how justice ginsburg lived her life. justice did not arrive like a lightning bolt but rather through dogged persistence all the days of her life. real change, she said, enduring change happens one step at a time. she faced many obstacles in her life even from a young age, though chosen as the valedictorian of her high school class, she gave no graduation speech. instead she grieved at home with her father after burying her beloved mother one day before graduation. her family had already suffered terrible loss with the death of
7:12 am
her sister when justice ginsburg was only 14 months old, but justice ginsburg kept rising. a full scholarship to cornell university and only one of nine women in her harvard law school class. after transferring to columbia law school, she graduated first in her class, yet she could not find a job. no firm in new york would hire her because she was a woman. these obstacles didn't deter her. she pressed on. as she sat in an interview with her dear friend nina totenberg, and i quote, i get out of law school with top grades, no law firm in the city of new york will hire me. i end up teaching. that gave me time to devote to
7:13 am
the movement of evening out the rights -- excuse me -- of women and men. i was nominated to a vacancy on the d.c. circuit. justice o'connor once said to me, suppose we had come of age in a time when women lawyers were welcome at the bar. you know what? today we would have been retired partners from some large law firm, but because the route was not open to us, we had to find another way, and both end up on the united states supreme court. all the days of her life she pursued justice even in illness. she fought five bouts with cancer, and she supported her beloved marty through his battle with cancer as well.
7:14 am
each time she pressed forward. she returned to work, to the bench, to the court with focus each and every time. nothing was given. pursuing justice took resilience, persistence, a commitment to never stop. as a lawyer, she won equality for women and men, not in one swift victory but brick by brick, case by case through meticulous, careful lawyering. she changed the course of american law, and even when her views did not prevail, she still fought. in recent years justice ginsburg became famous for her dissents.
7:15 am
despair was not an option. she said, and i quote, dissents speak to a future age. it's not simply to say my colleagues are wrong and i would do it this way, but the greatest dissents do become court opinions and gradually over time their views become the dominant view so that the dissenters hope that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow. justice ginsburg's dissents were not cries of defeat. they were blueprints for the future. justice ginsburg loved her family. her grandchildren. her dear friends, her colleagues, and her court
7:16 am
family. we all send our love to you, and justice ginsburg also loved the court to which she so devoted her life, a court for all of us. it was justice ginsburg's tenacious hope to preserve the integrity of the court. today she makes history again as the first woman and the first jewish woman to lie in state. today we stand in sorrow, and tomorrow we the people must carry on justice ginsburg's legacy, even as our hearts are breaking, we must rise with her
7:17 am
strength and move forward. she was our prophet, our north star, our strength for so very long. now she must be permitted to rest after toiling so hard for every single wuone of us. may the memory of justice ruth bader ginsburg forever and ever be a blessing. god give us the strength and bless us with the courage, the intelligence, the bravery, and the unbreakable resolve to pursue justice. amen. >> ladies and gentlemen, ms. denyce graves, accompanied by ms. laura ward.

>> now the family of justice ruth bader ginsburg paying their r respects. that was her daughter jane ginsburg and extended family members. surrounding the casket. she will be laid to rest at arlington national cemetery. next to her beloved husband marty ginsburg. and jan, maybe this is a good time to talk about that deep love between her and her husband of 56 years. >> 56 years.
7:24 am
you know, and they just had this kind of -- i mean, their marriage was -- he was her rock and literally as she would talk about saved her life, literally, when he noticed in one of her hospital stays that she was being given the wrong dose of medicine and ripped out the tubes. so you know, she credits marty ginsburg with so much of what she was able to do in her life and at the supreme court, but she also liked to tell the story about she also thinks he saved her life. >> he -- they met, of course, at harvard law school. she said he was the first man who respected her for her brains, but as an author wrote this week, that was humble brag because hbg was a knockout. >> right. and he was a brilliant lawyer himself. they had this wonderful friendship with the scalias, which i, you know, find so touching, especially now when we seem so divided, but marty ginsburg was a fantastic cook,
7:25 am
and so he and marine ska rcalis justice scalia's wife would do the cooking. they would have dinners together, celebrate new year's eve together, great adventures as a couple, and of course her friendship with justice scalia goes back to their days serving on the federal appeals court here in d.c. >> one of justice scalia's sons wrote a tribute to justice ginsburg today about the many new year's eves that the family spent together where the marty ginsburg and mrs. scalia would cook up the wild boor that justice scalia killed on a hunting trip. they were the best of buddies. >> and i wonder if that was something that you saw -- i mean obviously the loss of a colleague is affecting these
7:26 am
justices so deeply and sharply. she was beloved at the supreme court, but is this perhaps -- what does this mean for the court? will the justices even have these kind of friendships with scalia and ginsburg now gone, the nation so divided. how do we put aside differences and bridge that gap like they did? she said in an interview she hoped we would come -- in her lifetime we would go back to a time when people could be friends with those that they may have sharp disagreement with on other issues. we're not there. >> jeffrey rosen is still with us, and i'm going to turn to him in a moment to talk once again about justice ginsburg's legal legacy, but jim, one other note because justice ginsburg passed at the age of 87 after as the rabbi said today battling cancer five times. i mean, indom itable. >> she never stopped walking. at one point when she was being
7:27 am
treated in the hospital she listened to those arguments with her law books around her from her hospital room by telephone. justice o'connor, the first justice and justice ginsburg has talked about this gave her advice. she went to justice o'connor about how to keep working after being treated for cancer. justice ginsburg had breast cancer surgery and was back on the bench. justice o'connor had breast cancer surgery and was back on the bench nine days later. she advised her, have your chemotherapy on friday. that way you'll have the weekend to get over it so, you know, you can be back at work on monday. i think that shows how she never ever was going to give anyone a chance to say that she wouldn't do the job, whether she was a woman, jewish, a mother, as she famously said initially three strikes against her. even with her illness, she just pushed through everything, a fighter at every level. >> never, never giving up. i mean, this incredible spirit
7:28 am
and on that note, jeffrey rosen, it was not only her own personal battles with cancer but in many ways her approach to the law as we just heard from the rabbi. as a lawyer she won equality for women and men, not in one swift victory but brick by brick, case by case through meticulous careful lawyering she changed the course of american law and, jeffrey, only because it's one i looked at where she wrote the brief, the brief in that, jeffrey, that was the first time that the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment prohibited differential treatment based on sex. how much of that was a landmark decision? >> it was indeed a landmark decision. you're so right to call that out, nora because that was the case that justice ginsburg said
7:29 am
was the turning point. it was the first time that you say the court stuck down gender based discrimination. justice ginsburg liked to tell the story about how it was a young boy, richard reed who killed himself because his parents were having a custody disspu dispute. the law at the time preferred min to women, and justice ginsburg wrote the brief paying homage to the women before her. as a result of that decision congress went through the u.s. code and removed gender discriminations and judge ginsburg went on to persuade the supreme court to make gender discrimination -- it was a perfect example of what you've properly called her changing the law brick by brick, step by step to create a more embracive constitution. >> there are so many of these. my own personal regret not going
7:30 am
to law school because so many of these decisions even before she was on the supreme court that she played a hand in that have slowly changed the course of history and equality for women and yet for those legal scholars know there is still an incredible challenges still ahead. >> well, you know, when you think about the supreme court and the law, it's not -- i mean, it's been said it's not a speedboat. it doesn't turn sharply. the law doesn't change that quickly. it's more like trying to move like a super tanker. it takes patience and foresight to know how to turn that, and that was how she, as you were saying, the brick by brick, it requires enormous discipline, patience, and vision, and she had all of those coupled with this incredible technical gift with her precision of language as her law clerk said she would whack out all the extra words. that makes her arguments even more powerful.
7:31 am
>> thinking about her perseverance, her brilliance, her strategic thinking. >> the vision. >> the vision in order to do that. >> and patience. you know, it requires a discipline of patience to know that this is a step by step process and that you will get to the end in victory. >> this has been an incredible mot moment of history to watch this entire week, and jan crawford, thank you. >> thank you. >> for being here and sharing with us your incredible knowledge of the history since you've covered justice ginsburg for decades. it is a loss for so many and for this country and a moment for all of us to learn about the great importance of the highest court on our land, the supreme court where many of the justices

cbs this morning is looking at why prices for many everyday items have surged in recent years. and today we're looking at the rising cost of housing. home prices in america are breaking records, despite the recession caused by the coronavirus. get this. the median price for a townhouse home or condo soared above $300,000 for the first time ever over the summer. and the average property is selling in just 22 days. that is the fastest time on record. we began this story before the pandemic, but we decided to return to it to find out why this is happening. >> reporter: back in 1971, when "all in the family" debuted on cbs -- ♪ guys like us we had it made >> no one questioned how a dock worker like archie bunker -- >> i didn't finish high school either. >> reporter: -- questioned how he could afford a home on this charming block in queens, new york. ♪ those were the days
7:39 am
>> reporter: at the tirges archie's home was worth about $35,000. today, it's valued at more than $800,000. even after correcting for inflation, that's more than triple what archie would have paid for it. and, sure enough, when we visited last winter. >> my name is tony. i work for cbs. >> we couldn't find many archie bunkers. >> have you met anybody in the neighborhood who is a dock worker? >> no. >> more likely to find doctors, nurses and engineers. >> you are a tech worker. >> i'm a tech worker. >> no callouss on your hand? >> i only touch keyboard. >> these are not for the working man these days. >> these houses? >> these days. >> reporter: and not even covid-19 can change that. when the pandemic hit, we had just finished filming this story. and at the time, we made the decision not to air it thinking, surely housing prices are going to come down. that's not the case. the coronavirus has inspired many buyers to look for larger,
7:40 am
more comfortable homes. but that new demand has run into an old problem. since 1960, home prices across the country have risen more than four times faster than income. and many experts say the cause is frustratingly simple. america has a housing shortage. some 400,000 fewer homes came up for sale this summer compared to last. and more than a decade after the crash of 2008, developers are still cautious about new construction. when they do try to build, they can sometimes be blocked by people who already live nearby. >> there will be building all along here. buildings all along there. >> reporter: people like judy neville who told us the plan to redevelop this lot near her home would hurt the neighborhood. >> if this were built as planned, what would happen? >> well, for one thing, the schools would be terribly overcrowded. >> reporter: neville lives just outside of boston in newton, massachusetts. >> it's a terrible place to
7:41 am
live. >> reporter: we met her one day before voters here decide whether to approve a plan to add more than 800 new apartments. a plan thousands of people like her oppose. >> thank you so much. >> what would happen is that we'd have absolute gridlock that we would have concerns, parking concerns for all the neighbors that are currently here. >> in this big national fight over affordable housing, there are people who say, you are the problem. people like you who are saying not in my backyard. >> we're not saying not in my backyard. we're saying definitely in our backyard. just don't make it as big as you want to make it. >> reporter: when there aren't enough affordable homes, prices explode. forcing families to the top of their budgets, if they can afford to buy at all. to make matters worse, here in philadelphia and in many cities across the u.s., families looking to buy their first homes are competing not only with other families but with investors. in fact, a record number of them. in 2018, nearly a quarter of all
7:42 am
the homes sold here in the philadelphia area sold not to people looking for a place to live but a place to profit. >> why are investors so interested in places like philadelphia? >> for one reason, the rent is high. >> reporter: ashley lauren is a realtor here. >> a lot of the homes here didn't look like this. they've been renovated. >> reporter: investors have snatched up properties becoming landlords. >> i actually have a listing in fish town not too long ago. first day on the market, cash investor snatched it up for an airbnb. nobody had a shot at it. it was a great house and a competitive price in the mid-400s. would have been attractive to a first time buyer. >> instead it's an airbnb? >> yes. >> judy acknowledged america's need for more housing. >> so you're not saying not in my backyard. just not so much. >> not so much. absolutely. >> a little bit in my backyard. >> absolutely. not so much.
7:43 am
>> if everybody takes the position you're taking, there won't be enough housing to go around for the growing country that we live in. >> well, you know, that's an issue that we're going to need to work on. >> so judy has lost her fight there in newton. they ended up building that project. the issue remains. there are not enough places for people to live. when there's not enough of something, the price goes through the roof. it's partly construction costs, partly regulation, but a big part is people fighting, not in my backyard. >> i really did like judy's passion. i like the conversation between the two of you, but it seems to me we almost have to rethink the american dream. growing up it was save, save, save so you can gettior first house and then that leads to another house, to another house. hopefully a nicer house every time. and now it's hard to get -- >> hard to get a house at all. >> hard to get on the ladder. we were talking earlier this month about a record number of people now living at home with their parents. i don't know how they get out of it if they don't have a huge lump of money. >> and the longer you wait, the

f, september 25th, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king with tony dokoupil and anthony mason. demands for morning." >> demands for justice, protests in louisville intensify as new video emerges from the night breonna taylor was killed. and the president's latest comments about the election and health care. >> and the voice of nature speaks out. >> the living world is a unique and spectacular marvel. >> why the film maker says humans are committing a crime against the planet earth. >> what a great voice. first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. justice ruth bader ginsburg making history as the first woman to lie in state at our capitol. >> her first appearance at the supreme court was in 1973. she was a power house already. i mean, she told the all male justices, i ask no favor for my
8:01 am
sex. all i ask is they take their feet off our necks. >> she said long before she dreamed of being a lawyer or a judge, the first thing she could remember wanting to be was a great diva. >> justice ginsburg had a vision, and that vision was the constitution should grow embracive. that was her word, and it's a distinctive word. i asked her what it meant once. she said i mean embracing the left out people, not just grudgingly, but with open arms? . >> have you seen this? gucci is selling overalls with a fake grass stain at a cost of $1400. every farmer in nebraska is like helen? guess what. we're enfleek. >> i'm with you, james corden. i thought i read that wrong when
8:02 am
i saw the price. >> i never understood the predistressed jeans. break them in yourself. >> or the torn up jeans that cost a lot of money? it's called fashion. >> for a second straight night, protests against not to charge officers in the death of breonna taylor. >> violation of the curfew order is arrestable. >> that is officers reminding demonstrators there's a 9:00 p.m. curfew. that did not stop people from staying out. some of them damaging businesses. but for the most part the protesters were peaceful. police made at least 24 arrests last night. >> one of those arrested for demonstrating after the curfew was a state representative, the lawmaker who wrote breonna's law in kentucky which ends no knock warrants in the state. we're getting our first look at body cam video from the police raid that look taylor's life on
8:03 am
march 13th. the video shows officers tending to a police sergeant shot while serving a warrant at the apartment where taylor was sleeping. there is no known video of the shooting that killed her. >> supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg will make history again this morning as the first woman who lie in state at the u.s. capitol. president trump paid his respects to ginsburg outside the supreme court. there were loud boos from onlookers along with chants of honor her wish, referring to her last request for the next president to fill her seat. members of congress will nonnowhere ruth bader ginsburg at the capitol. she'll be buried next to her husband next week. nancy pelosi is part of the ceremony at the capitol. she and justice ginsburg were friends. thank you for joining us. we are all mourning the loss of your friend. i can't imagine what it was like
8:04 am
for those of you who actually knew her. i want to take a second to just think about her and talk about her for just a second. what have you lost as a friend, and what have we lost as a nation? >> well, thank you to your attention to the fact that she's the first woman to lie in state in the capitol when she does so, she will be lying on the base that was built to hold abraham lincoln's body. so appropriate for her and her fight for equality in our country. i just want to tell this story, because i think it's -- nobody in our country did more for the advancement of women in terms of women's equality than ruth bader ginsburg, madame justice. we honored her and the other women justices a few years ago in the capitol. she spoke for the justices, and she told us a story of a woman, belva, a new yorker, as leader schumer keeps reminding me, in
8:05 am
1876 she tried to argue cases before the supreme court to qualify. the court turned her down 6 to 3. there were nine justices then. she didn't take no for an answer. she lobbied congress for three years and then congress passed a law that said if you meet the qualifications, even if you're a woman, you must be accepted at the court. and i read you women who possess the necessary qualifications must be admitted to the bar of the supreme court. then ruth bader ginsburg said that day, it is my favorite example of how sometimes the congress is more in tune with changing times and the expansion of the idea of equality than the court is. over 125 years later in the court, the court decided in the case against women in the workplace. against women in the workplace,
8:06 am
over 125 years later. ruth bader ginsburg wrote the dissent, her dissent became the lily led better fair pay act signed into law. the first bill signed by president obama. so, again, the congress was ahead of the court in being attune to the expansion of equality for women in our country. that was so important. >> she was so ahead of her time in so many ways. very big shoes to fill. president trump narrowed it down to two candidates. he'll make the announcement tomorrow. what are your thoughts on the two options on his short list, it seems? >> my thought is the following. it's very important to know that the reason they were perched for this within a couple hours after the announcement of her passing, majority leader mcconnell said we're going to take this up and
8:07 am
vote on it. it's so inappropriate. without going into that, what is important is for everyone to know in america is what it means to them. this rush to appoint someone to be there on time for the november 10th arguments against -- before the court will make the case, the administration will make the case against the affordable care act. if anybody in your family has a preexisting condition, that benefit will be gone. if any of your children are on your health care plan, that -- your adult children, that's gone. if you're a woman on the affordable care act, eliminate the idea that being a woman is a preexisting medical condition. >> madame speaker, they always say he who has a vote has the power. don't you think the democrats would do the same if the situation was reversed? >> no. that's not true. and this is inappropriate. and counter to what they said when justice scalia passed. but it's no use getting into
8:08 am
their hypocrisy. we have to make sure people know they must vote and vote early so the message, their voices, their vote that that message comes clearly. all the polling shows people do not want the affordable care act overturned. republicans are misrepresenting that they support the preexisting condition which they voted over 60 times. >> and 62% of americans wish there would be no decision made until after the election, but that does not appear to be the case. so -- >> i just want people to know what the case is, because if the republicans insist on going forward, then there has to be a price to pay. president lincoln, back to lincoln -- >> last week you said -- >> public sentiment is everything, and i think the public sentiment must be heard. >> well, you said last week you have arrows in your quiver. do you still have arrows in your quiver at this point? the clock is ticking? >> i want to tell you something.
8:09 am
stephen colbert said that i have to upgrade my munitions. arrows are too ancient a weapon. it's a figure of speech, but the fact is that this is about protecting the american people. their health at a time when they now have to choose -- the president wants them to choose between their health and their vote. that's just so wrong which just is another area. but again, this, the election is coming up. 40 days from yesterday from the catholic faith and other faiths, 40 has meaning. 40 hours, 40 days, 40 years. it means you have to make use of every day. >> make use of every day. you're right. tuesday. tuesday is a big debate. the first debate between the two of them. between joe biden and donald trump. you earlier suggested you didn't think biden should debate. do you still feel that way? >> i do.
8:10 am
not that i don't think he'll be excellent, i just think the president has no fidelity to fact or truth and in his comments the last few days, no fidelity to the constitution of the united states. he and his henchmen are a danger with their comments are a danger to our democracy. i don't want to give him -- why bother? it doesn't tell the truth. he isn't committed to our constitution. >> but speaker pelosi, that's what people say is the problem. your language to m some is just as egregious to some by calling the president's people henchmen. some say that's just as offense i as what he says about from you. >> i don't care what he says about you. every knock to me is a boost for me. they have repeatedly demonstrated now that the president has staid what he said -- >> even the republicans are
8:11 am
coming out and saying there will be transition to power. are you really worried about that? that there will be a peaceful transition to power. >> i'm hoping for the best. i'm prepared for the worst, and i'll also tell you this. the best anecdote to their poison is to vote. to vote, to have your friends and neighbors vote. whoever you vote for. but have it be a big clear vote. and there is no equivalent, my dear friend, gayle, between what i am saying truth about them than their mistaken cruelty for humor and whatever it is that they have to say. but we're ready for the fight, and it is -- it's an important time in our country and for the president to undermine the elections is something horrible. but i have three words, three names i want to name right now.

a lawsuit filed this month is seeking reparations for survivors and descendants of victims from a racial massacre in tulsa, oklahoma. an estimated 300 black men and women and children were killed by a white mob nearly a century ago. the attack destroyed tulsa's greenwood community known then as black wall street. as omar villafranca reports, the city is divided today over black lives matter. black lives matter! >> reporter: every wednesday for the last two years, reverend robert turner leads a small but determined protest for social

8:20 am
and businesses. today all that remains is about a half block of stores. >> our 40 square blocks burned to the ground. >> reporter: attorney general damario solomon-simmons grew up in north tulsa and filed a lawsuit this month noting that not one insurance dollar has ever been paid to the black businesses and homeowners. >> the hunters winsurance was n out because of the elected officials in tulsa and the county, by calling this erroneously and falsely labelling this a race riot. it allowed the insurance companies to get out of paying. no white person in tulsa has been indicted, charged, arrested. and to this day, no one has paid any restitution, any damages. >> reporter: nine plaintiffs are part of the civil lawsuit. they include the oldest survivor of the massacre who is 105 years old, descendants of victims, and reverend turner's church, historic vernon ame. there's no specific dollar amount demanded at this time. the lawsuit names the city, the

8:30 am
morning" on this friday. it's time to bring you stories we like to call the table." tony? in a very, very lively tie for you this moning -- >> i hope you -- >> i'm not knocking it. i'm all for it. i'm not knocking it at all. >> thank you, gayle. >> he pointed out, he said it was friday, i said, it's friday, you can do that -- >> i pointed out before i saw you that gayle was going to have a comment. >> did you say that? i hate being predictable. i hate that, tony dokoupil. >> confirmed. i am very excited to tell people about a very good news update from a story that we did back in april. that story was illustrating how spending slowdowns and layoffs can ripple through the economy, and in that story we met a woman named gina katonah in collegeville, pennsylvania. her car had broken down and she put off repairs after two members of her household lost their jobs during the shutdown. take a look. >> couldn't even afford to have it towed. before the shutdown before they lost their jobs. now that they lost their jobs, it's never going to happen. >> well, here's the good news --
8:31 am
some people in her community awe that story, and they've got her car p and running again. a local store, bob's auto parts, donated the parts, and blue ribbon auto care did the labor for free. they even arranged to tow the car to the auto shop. and gina says, "i cannot tell you how this has helped me and i'll be forever grateful for everyone for being so kind and selfless." the chain of economic pain can go one way. the charity and goodness can go back the other way. it's the chain working in reverse. >> important to hear those kind of stories. >> yeah. and to hear community helping each other out. that's just great stuff. all right. here's my story -- it involves the late chadwick boseman who was honored with a powerful mural at downtown disney in anaheim. king chad as you see it unveiled shows the actor sharing a "wakanda forever" moment with a child cancer patient wearing a "black panther" mask. the artist, you may remember, nikkolas smith. earlier this month we spoke with
8:32 am
him about the impact of his art during the racial justice movement. >> it can grab people so fast. if i can grab people's attention, i want to grab it and show them how we can move forward. every sunday i started creating pieces that reflect what's going on in the world. kind of baiof based off of nina simone's quote of it's an artist's duty to reflect the times. >> smith who used to work for disney designing theme parks said the bozeman mural was a full-circle moment for him because his last projects for disney before he left to do this full time was -- he was working on an "avengers" project and something for a children's hospital. this tied it all together. >> i know. i remember when you did the interview with him. i had never heard of him before. his work is so great. and it gives me goosebumps looking at that poster. >> did that very quickly after chadwick boseman died. really moving. >> nicely done, mr. smith. mine is a sort of -- sort of what tony's was about, people helping people. except these people are people you know. how about justin bieber and chance the rapper? interest rated their new hit
8:33 am
single -- celebrated their new hit single by giving $250,000 to fans in need. they announced the plan on social media. they said this -- tell us your story if you feel like sharing. so bieber and chance the rapper collaborated on the song "holy." the message behind the video -- be kind to strangers because you don't know their struggles. some fans even offered to send in their own money to help those experiencing hardship. they set up a fund, guys, of $250,000. you share the story and they -- so far, more money's being handed out, of course. one story stands out, $500 to somebody hit with hurricane laura. and i love these kind of stories when you see like the woman that you told us about, chance and justin, who are reaching out to help others during this time. the hash tag by the way, if you want to play, #jbchanceholy. i like this very much. >> so many people struggling. >> exactly right. >> that's great. all right. shifting gears here. we're talking about how the coronavirus has dramatically affected college admissions.
8:34 am
hunts of schools including harvard and yale will not require s.a.t. or a.c.t. scores this year. many families wonder if that will lead to a permanent change. the journalist jeff selingo got a rare inside look at the application review process. he embedded in the admissions offices of emory university, davidson college, and the university of washington. this is a very rare thing. this is unbelievable access. his book is called "who gets in and why: a year inside college admissions." it's published by scribner, an imprint of simon & schuster which is part of viacomcs. and jeff selingo joins us now first on "cbs this morning." jeff, thank you for being here. the first thing i want to dispel for people is the idea that applying to college is some sort of meritocracy. your book makes clear it never was. >> it was never fair and never will be fair. teenagers think that a rejection from their dream college is an indictment on their life. really what it really is about
8:35 am
is all the agendas that colleges have, all their priorities that they have, that come through in admissions. they may want more full-pay students, more students from the dakotas. so they have all these priorities that come through in admissions. so just because a college has a 25% acceptance rate doesn't mean you have a one in four chance of getting in. i love the detail that the typical admissions officer looks at an application for seven minutes. think of the hours and agony that go into the application. then a seven-minute review. how has the process changed from the time when parents might have been applying to school to now their kids applying to school? >> well, their kids now are applying to so many more schools than parents did. eight or ten. so what's now happening is that the smartest kids from buffalo and from washington and from seattle are applying to the same set of schools all across the country. now you throw in kids around the globe applying to those same schools. a school like emory university which is one of the school
8:36 am
violence that i embedded myself in -- schools that i embedded myself in, four years ago they had 20,000 applications. last year, 30,000 applications. a recognize of 10,000 applications just in four years. >> wow. i know a lot of parents and kids now are worried about how the pandemic will impact their application. they're not part of clubs they could have been part of, they're not volunteering where they might have volunteered. how will the pandemic affect the application process? >> well, the biggest thing i think is the s.a.t. and the a.c.t. so tomorrow, the s.a.t. was supposed to be given to 300,000 teenagers, and half have already been canceled. what we're seeing, as you mentioned in the introduction, we have 400-plus colleges that have gone test optional this year which means they're not using test scores. you don't have to submit them. but yet we still see students out there, seniors, trying to get a test score because in the am big utah of admissions, we think that number really matter. what i found in the year i was embedded in three admissions offices is that high school
8:37 am
grade and high school courses matter a lot more than that test p>> yeah. and the grade matter throughout the senior year. even if you're in, you've got to continue to do well because -- even if you're on the bubble you got to continue to do well because the schools are still checking, believe it or not. jeff, you know, with this inside look into the process, i'm curious, what would you change? how can these schools do a better job? >> well, one of the things i think they should stop doing is trying to recruit all these students who don't have a chance. in the book, i talk all about the direct marketing. if you have a teenager who's been going to college, they probably get overwhelmed with mail in their mailbox and email. and those are from schools that are just trying to increase their application numbers. they have no desire in some cases to admit you. one of the things i would change is to try to slow down on that and cut back on that direct marketing. you're increasing students' anxiety, and you're encouraging them to apply when they have no chance. >> jeff, i wish your book would have been around when i was applying. you can just beat yourself up
8:38 am
when you don't get into the school that you want. so when you say embedded, what exactly were you doing? were you watching all the admissions officers look at applications so you could see their thought process? i'm fascinating by what you did. >> yeah. it was totally open process. i was allowed to be there whenever i wanted to be. i could look at any application and was reading applications with them. the only thing i couldn't do is identify them by name. but i could identify all the other details which i have in the book. and so i would sit there and would read and listen to the conversations they were having about individual distanstudents. i was there during committee where they meet around a big table and vote up or down. just the couple of minutes. >> amazing -- >> whether to accept somebody or to reject somebody. >> you got to hope that they're in a good mood. that their tummies are full and they've had a good night's sleep. if we want to get into college, what's the best thing we need to do? >> control what you can control. and so focus on your high school courses you're going to take and the grades. don't worry about what happens
8:39 am
in that admissions office because so much of that is out of your control. do the best you can do. participate in activities. and then let the chips fall where they may. >> and read this new book by jeff selingo. honestly, the scenes in the book are amazing. you see admissions officers moving kids from admit to not admit and then back. >> man. >> you're like, oh, my god. >> man. >> it's amazing, jeff. congratulations, and thank you for joining us. the book again is "who gets in and why." it is on sale now. you'll want to pick it up. we'll continue our conversation on today's "cbs this morning" podcast. including the role of early decision in the admission process and how college rankings are determined. >> all right. ahead, the man behind planet earth, david attenborough, is famous for his popular nature documentaries. why he says humans are committing a crime this election,
