it's the areas frankly with university -- significant university presence that seem to be attracting these folks. i'll leave you with one last thing. we're taking something of a calculated gamble in our university. we live in a nice town, but it doesn't have all the features that some of our competitors do. so we're doing a 50/50 deal with our town. an arrangement, i don't know who tried this before, we're going to transform the whole stretch that connects us to the town and runs through our school. this is either going to be a big step forward in attracting students and faculty of exactly the kind that the governor sees coming to denver, or somebody in 20 years is going to go, what idiot pooled money on that? we'll find out. >> well, daniel, patrick morna han once said if you want to build a great city, build a university and wait a hundred years. so we'll find out in a hundred years. yes, sir. i'm sorry. quick hands came up. i'll get you, and you and you. >> i'm with the progressive policy institute. miss baird, you mentioned the jobs that don't really require a college degree but

sheena howard, an associate professor of communications at rider university, and she is with us today. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. >> why was this project an important one for you? why did you undertake this subject matter? >> i think a couple of things. one, i went to an historically black university for my phd program, and so that really opened up a whole new world to me, as far as educational experience and being around, you know, people of color in that way. previous to that, i had spent my time at predominantly white kind of shaped how i thought about race. and as a young black professor at a predominantly white school now, i really started to think about some of the institutional practices that shape our experiences and our notions around race. >> and, you know, what are some of those institutional practices, and would you describe them as being racist? >> i would describe them as structural racism. things like the number of faculty of color at the university, the abysmal number of administrators who are of color. even when we look at core curriculum, i think

first of all where did craiger university get start and are you a jewish scholar? >> well, it's a little pompus for me to say that but i did teachon jewish knowledge and 200 articles on judaism i got an award for clums on jewish matters.s i know the torah first five books of the bible in the hebrew better than i don't knowe it in english and taught it much of mi life. so i don't -- i certainly uset the work ofy scholars to explain to people of every background that's what i -- thisar is very important. e i believe that the whole book, the whoat five books the bible is for everyone in the world. it's the greatest book ever written, and certainly the ten commandments it's for humanity. of course it was given to the jews as it were. but it's for humanity. if everybody lived by it as i said, all you would need. the rest commentary this is it we started because we're very worried about what is happening at the universities where there's more indoctrine and it's sad to me because i love the mind. they're my favorite show i want you to know.ks my wife is here. we told you

that the universities don't understand title 9?it that they just want to cover up what is going on in their campuses? what's the problem? how do you fix it? >> sure. it's a little bit of both of that, and add to it a faith based university. i think there's a hidden shame and stigma to sex, and until schools like this understand that sexual assault has nothing to do with sex, then that's the part of the problem. i speak at universities all over the country, and i train title 9 administrators, and a lot of the title 9 people take on the extra work and don't fully understand the nuances of title 9, so that's an issue. it's not that they are not willing to learn, but everyone's running around with, you know, deers in the headlight. i also think that the students really know what's what. they know this is an egregious injury. it's a crime. it is a crime everywhere in every city. so if provo police need to work with byu to help train, that's something as well. you know, it's been an age-old argument. i've been doing it for eight years, a

around 2,000 that are in college coming into the university. so the fact that the s.t.e.m. is out there now, you know, being pushed out there is really a factor of what jordan had mentioned. there's a lot of people retiring, and they looked around and said we can't run these industries anymore. we can't produce the things that we need to produce. we have an institution better known as this nation that is really crumbling from the inside, and we've got to build more things, do things better. and yet at the same time we're bringing along young people, technology four to five times faster than we've ever understood it. >> right. >> and so they together, along with the circumstance, has made s.t.e.m. now be really, really an important and critical thing. >> and what types of programs do you have once you get these minds in, you know? how are you shaping and preparing them? >> well, first thing, of course, you have the build on your basic area, you know, your math, your science, that kind of thing. and once you do that, then at the institution level

originated at the university. >> at the university over the university's broadcast facilities? >> i believe so. [inaudible] >> oh, there you go. >> i'm just curious. >> i think they were kind of characterized in broadcast -- they're in that sort of original -- i mean i think they came here in the 1980's. the original copies were in oklahoma and copies came here in the 1980's. >> these were aired over the university's radio station? >> yes. >> okay. >> and it was --. >> okay. all right. there are a couple of examples of anglo stations giving air time to local tribes when they were particularly located on the edge of reservations. kind of a form of tokenism. but they were -- they existed. beyond that i think it would be very, very hard pressed to locate recordings from actual native stations, because they're 30 years later. that's the thing that i was most curious about. i'd be curious if anybody has come across any native originated programs that have been recorded and archived. yes? >> i was just searching the data base while you were talking and there are a few things i wanted

the lancer is universally regarded as a symbol of truth and hope. characteristic the library looks for. presentationf the of the award, mr. elliott was on the stage at the kennedy library. remarks -- expressed his gratitude to the kennedy family. he talked about his relationship, followed president in congress by two years, they served together in the house of representatives. he ended with a statement that summed up his life. as long as we have overcrowded classrooms, underpaid teachers, schools with inadequate libraries, and young men and women who are denied an education because of they do not have the resources, our work is not finished. john f. kennedy's vision for america will not be fully accomplished until all of our young people have the opportunity to obtain the quality of education which is their birthright. such educated young people, engaged in public service, are essential to meet the challenges of each new frontier. there are those who said that i was ahead of my time. but they were wrong. i always believed that i was behind the times

i think that we need to expand that 100-university scale to a 200-university scale. we also need long-term -- validity is never a destination, right? validity is a vector. we need to validate these things over time. i'm eager and collecting as many different kind of information as i can in part because that's the only way to not fall victim to any one instrument. i applaud what is going on there. i can't wait to see the results. and i also want to keep the pressure on to continue to bother more and different kind of data so eventually these things can cross-validate each other. one thing i'm interested in is not allowing a single test to become the criterion of success so i appreciate that faculty controlled kind of assessment and i think that hopefully in 10 years, 20 years, we will have the information to validate each other so we can continue to work on it. i think that's very important work. >> we are out of time. thank you in joining our panelists. >> the latest poll from nbc news the wall street journal and marist showing that donald trump and hillary clinton h
