dr. alexander. >> thank you. and i thank new america, but this is about a serious discussion as we could ever have. we've been working on the hill to get the federal government to use any portion of its $170 billion aotc or any of it to shore up what states are doing, because states have figured it out. states are disinvesting in our public universities and within the next seven years, louisiana has just surpassed as being the first state being out of the higher education affordability business. and our legislators have told me, they've told me that i can get re-elected. if this was in another state, i could get re-elected by not raising taxes, i'll give you the tuition and authority to raise it on your own, and you go to the federal government and get the rest. or get that money through loan money or however you can get it. in 1965 and 1972, the great debate went on and it was about constitutional aid versus student aid. let the market decide versus incentivize institutions and/or states to enroll

dr. alexander mentioned the original structure. it is not functioning. the pell grant is not the only one. the whole concept was that they will start with low-income students. but we're also going to incentivize the states to also step in for low-income students. so we set up a program, the federal government completely different in that eight years ago. as soon as they did that, four states stepped out of need-based aid. if you give me $200 increase in pell grants, my low-income students have lost $1000. the same process with ssig. if you make the pell grant go up to one or dollars, and the state takes away $1200, we saw this happen with the stimulus bill. it did not work well for low-income students. a study by jennifer delaney out of the university of illinois shows that low-income students, whether at public or private colleges, lost in that scenario. now we could fix that. we can fix that scenario. we can simply put the moe that work so well for public colleges into a new ssig with a lot of money. we can add need-based aid, not protecting, not an un

dr. alexander did. the whole concept with the federal government, they said we're going to start with low income students but we are also going to incentivize the states to also step in for low income students. so we set up an ssig program. federal government completely defunded that eight years ago. as soon as they started defunding it, four states stepped out of need-based aid. dr. alexander said in his testimony before congress, if you give me $200 increase in pell grant and louisiana makes me raise tuition $1200, my low income students lost $1000. same principle applies with ssig. if you make the pell grant go up $200 and state takes away $1200 aid, low income students lose. we saw this happen with the stimulus bill. what happened with the stimulus bill, it worked well for public institutions but didn't work well for low income students. a study by jennifer delaney out of university of illinois, low income students whether at public colleges or private colleges lost in their scenario. now we could f

dr. alexander. dr. alexander: thank you. thank new america but i know a lot of you out here. a s is about as serious of discussion as we could have. we've been working on the government to use any of up what billion to show states are doing. states have figured it out. investing in their public universities. louisiana will out do colorado, and our legislators have told me that i can get reelected. this is in another state. can get reelected by not raising taxes. i'll give uv authority to go to he federal government and get that money through loan money or however you can get it. 1962, the great debate went on. it was about direct student aid. decide versus incentives institutions and/or enroll the right populations, the meaty populations. we took the market route. we took the market route and went to direct student aid. the assumption was made that the states would take care of public universities. the states have vanished and now we have a federal market based fee-based system that has allowed a whole new sotor to emerge because it's lucrative, the for profit grants 30% of t

dr. alexander to suggest we need to hold colleges to higher standards. i think we need to hold all of them to higher standards. we need to make sure they have incentives to keep tuition low and enroll low income students. if i were, if he were entirely in favor preserving current system quote, unquote, would have a debate, i wouldn't have much to do all day, right? as anybody who has read my work knows that is not my position. sarah and i probably disagree with this especially on punishment side. i think we have to punish schools not doing right thing and some need to go out of business. we have written about the notion of setting stricter performance floor. setting restrictive performance floor about loan rates and above the performance floor, putting schools on the hook for percentage of loans schools don't repay. that is something sarah and i could discuss after the fact. which i'm sure we'll have fun with. we actually have panel on this but sitting on opposite sides. these are the ways, we have to get incentives right and let institutions just think

dr. alexander did. the whole concept of the federal government was, they said we're going to start with low-income students, but we're also going to incentivize the states to also step in for low-income students. we set up the ssig program. federal government completely defunded that about eight years ago, as soon as they started defunding it, four states stepped out of need-based states. dr. alexander has said in his testimony before congress, if you give me $200 increase on a pell grant and louisiana makes me raise tuition $1200, my low-income students have lost $1,000. the same principle applies with ssig. if you make the pell grant go up $200 and the state takes away a $1,200 aid, low-income students lose. you saw this with the stimulus bill. what happened with the stimulus bill? it worked well for public institutions but not for low-income students. a study showed low income students, whether they were at public colleges or private colleges, lost in that scenario. now, we could fix that. we could f

dr. perry: i wish michelle alexander was here. the new jim crow is a great book. what i usually tell my students is that here is evidence that just as we use language today to convey the intensity of certain points. changing somebody's name, if you have seen roots, which i think is being remade by the history channel, kunta kinte contested the name and he was beaten into submission to accept the name. privately he still called himself that. there was a deliberate social conditioning to accept the names jefferson or johnson or these anglo names to forget the heritage. former slaves would talk about africa they would largely modeled the beliefs of their white counterparts. this was something that was ingrained in people from multiple generations. after marcus garvey and black nationalism we are now starting to get out of that and seeing the connections to africa. howard has influenced the very unique development of african americans the names do matter. even if it is an idea of reinventing yourself. >> what is your view on the new tax for the same outcome as far as

dr. perry: i wish michelle alexander was here. the new jim crow is a great book.hat i usually tell my students evidence thats becomes very difficult to deny that there are not historical linkages of race. to those who say slavery happened 150 years ago, it is an annoying excuse in which the narrative goes like this. forenslave these people multiple generation. a civil war has to be for. ught. people are freed and given a few rights for maybe a decade. due to action and its very shady presidential election in 1876 with rutherford b. hayes and jim crow is allowed to flourish. in the 1960's you have the civil rights movement the lots of andng rights act of people affirmative action policies. that largely benefit white women statistically. years everything is supposed to be ok. when we look at people fleeing the jim crow south to settle in urban centers in los angeles or chicago or new york all throughout the united states subprime loans are given to many of these individuals locking them into perpetual debt. the argument is that the racism now is much more subtle. wh
