of the university or retards the mission of the university. it will depend. it could be for some people that it is good, and in other cases it may not have any value. the university's resources may be better used inviting another person. as i said before, partly what is driving this is there are several thousand universities with different administrations of different views on these matters. and they will have ideological biases, but as long as there is a diversity across universities, that is fine. people are going to make mistakes and be biased. outside the first amendment, that is never reason for not having rules or giving people discretionary authority. yes, my position is, that is fine. i am sure there will be errors. i am sure there will be bad outcomes from time to time, but i think the university has to be able to do that if it wants to function as a university. mr. rosen: keith, do i take it from your book that you disagree that administrator should not be in the business of deciding what speech is high value and what is not? mr. whi

he graduated columbia university and the university of virginia school of law. abrams, senior counsel, new york law firm. leading first amendment litigator -- he received his b.a. from cornell university. before you start to speak, two things. i never gavel people down at the end of five minutes, but i hope when the red light goes on, you can sum it up quickly. for my clients, it will be necessary for us to keep the committee meeting going while we cast those two votes. people will take turns charing so we can keep the testimony and questions going. mr. wood, would you proceed, please? by the way, your entire statement will be put into the record, your longer statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman, madame ranking member and distinct members of the committee. i'm honored to have the opportunity to be here before you. i'm the senior president of uncomfortable learning at williams college. over the last two i have advocated for the importance of reclaiming offensive use of college campuses. when i arrived at williams college to begin my freshman year, i had high hop

and universities, no university, public institutions, 85% of students go to public universities. all the chairman of the appropriations committee would have to do is call the president of the university and say constantly coming to me to underwrite, make possible this for your university, that for your university and to advance your own careers because you are judged on what you can bring to the university. i have three things that i want from you. and if i don't get some i am not going to answer your phone calls ever again. the first i want you to provide me with the required reading lists for every one of your graduate courses in liberal arts and i am going to submit that to one of our conservative think tanks and they are going to look it over to see if there is parity between the conservative books you require and conservative others you require students to read and the leftist ones. of course there is no parity whatsoever because conservative books barely exist and i know this because i did a book called 1-party classroom where i studied the regime list of 170 courses and i

the moderate -- university. i got my model of what i wanted the university to look like. what a colombian the 50s alyssa marxists. i was never harassed by my professors the way conservative kids are harassed these days. students in the class had one opinion they took the opposite to teach us how to think. this one of the great achievements of mankind real (story, doesn't exist. what's going on in schools like harvard and yale is disgraceful. it's all over youtube, you can see it. so is there a solution? well, there's two ways of looking at the question, sure, my bill of rights was one attempt on a solution if they just observe universities. the principles they preach, everything would be fine, but they don't. there is not an administrator in this country who has reached out to ann coulter myself or any of the conservative speakers and attempt to reverse this quick. here's my proposal. in doing the bill of rights i have looked at external forces, we passed a few resolutions supporting the idea. but no legislation and no wielding a political power. the left has convinced me

, we can re-create new universities, the online university. it is as if information is available now. period i don't know much about -- i've done fundraisers but i've never been to hillsdale. because i think there president is a very traditional conservative who doesn't approve of my confrontational politics. but the fact of the matter is these are tiny compared -- without talking about harvard and yale. whether their endowments, four, $500 billion. by the way one of the great things that trump is doing, and it actually know the guy who proposed this, is part of his tax bill is an endowment tax on private universities like harvard and yale. but 10% endowment tax would pay for all those student loans, wouldn't it? >> that's what i'm trying to think in a a different way. inasmuch as we nevadan internet. we didn't have immediate information, instantaneous. we used to -- >> i agree. >> we don't need encyclopedias now. maybe we just have a reorganized speedy look, i agree. it is greatly increased power for conservatives. it's broken the monopoly, t

and the fight chance of universities says it is the duty of universities says it is the duty of universities no platforming themselves. yet again we have universities being told what to do because we haven't got our own house in order. i speak as vice chancellor, very proud of our university system in britain with top, world—class universities and many wonderful achievements. but we need to do better, the leadership of universities over vice chancellor salaries, free speech and a wide variety of issues. because we haven't provided the leadership we might have been expected to give, we are being told what to do and so i think it is necessary. but we should have got our house in order. think it is necessary. but we should have got our house in orderlj mention the safe space policies intended to protect students from views and language they find offensive, including discrimination. some students might be robust enough and be resilient and all the things joejohnson and be resilient and all the things joe johnson wants them and be resilient and all the things joejohnson wants them to be but other

associated with those universities set up by students and other bodies within universities startingpractices of no platforming, where people with controversial views were planned or safe s pa ces controversial views were planned or safe spaces where certain subjects would not be discussed? one thing we have seen is definitely over the last four years, from around 2013 onwards, we have really seen an acceleration of censorship on campus, and that is when you can see at going that while some unions used to censor fascists, now they are censoring pop songs or feminists likejermaine censoring pop songs or feminists like jermaine gresham. this censoring pop songs or feminists likejermaine gresham. this has a very long history, so there is a platform which jo johnson and very long history, so there is a platform whichjojohnson and others have taken up, that has been an statute since the late 1970s, so we are dealing with everyday censorship, that is the product of what free speech absolutists like us have been dealing with, if you allow it to go on in any circumstance, it is only natural

universities are -- i guess 2 million people at the universities or a million in the uk? that mark, a million? that is a huge number of influential people as well. first, they must reach humans and relationships and going into the workplace and will have an impact on those places. they deserve to be safe but deserve to have views developed that will help other people be safe wherever they go in life beyond that. i don't know if that makes sense. >> we know that it's younger women more at risk for forms of rape and sexual assaults. obviously over 50% of students at universities are women. it's a particular problem. we know from various studies that have been done of women and men's experiences at universities, sexual harassment and violence is a particular problem. universities are beginning to take action in this regard. i think there's an awful lot more to be done particularly more recently staff to student, sexual harassment and sexual violence. universities are not yet taking sufficient action and in that regard there is a survey being done at the moment that might ens

the universities in the united states, research universities are unique institutions globally.'ve traveled all over and looked at research universities everywhere. there are few institutions that even meet the lower tier levels of activity of an american research university so we have this high-performing entity which can do a lot more but there's this dissonance going on. this intellectual rejection. we're hearing even from people in industry we don't get too many college graduates, there's emphasis on this or that. everyone does going forward, we know this that the new jobs added in this economy going forward, 80 percent of them require beyond a high school diploma. 80 percent. there is not a general political consensus or policy level consensus of that reality. we've taken steps and last year we had 8000 degrees. we have 20,000 engineering majors now, 4000 online and some really fantastic online engineering degrees, undergraduate degrees and 17,000 students with unbelievable diversity, etc. 8000 employers coming to help hire some of those people. so it's not the case that th

for the golden gate university. this is the institutional master plan. >> good afternoon, president. commissioners. before you today is an informational item regarding an institutional master plan for golden gate university. post-secondary educational institutions are required to have a current i.m. perform on file with the planning department to describe the existing and anticipated future development of that institution. the i.m.p. sharing should be for the receipt of testimony only and in no way should constitute a approval of any facility described therein. the i.m.p. shall be considered accepted when the planning commission hearing has closed. golden gate university is a nonprofit private *inls tuition that offers a range of undergraduate and graduate degrees primarily in law and business-related disciplines. the university traces its history back well over a century to evening lectures and law courses provided through the ymca evening college and university today remains focused on providing educational opport

time spent at university must open minds, not close them.s the view ofjojohnson, the universities minister, who will today set out a firm defence of free speech on campus. speaking at a jewish cultural festival in birmingham, he will say students must be free to challenge each other‘s views, and groups seeking to stifle those who do not agree with them must be stopped. his defence of open debate comes after speakers on subjects from the state of israel to transgender rights have faced bans, sometimes by student unions, for having views considered inappropriate. others have demanded so—called ‘safe spaces', where they won't hear about issues they may find upsetting. mrjohnson will say this cannot be tolerated, reiterating universities have an obligation to protect free speech and encourage frank and rigorous debate. from next april, a new regulator, the office for students, will have the power to fine universities that fail to uphold free speech. the body representing british universities said it would not allow legitimate debate be stifled.

they run the university. they are the ones that are supposed to be hiring the people who are in charge of title ix and who are in charge of making sure that all of these safeguards are there for training in response and handling the campus police. i had been reporting on higher education for a long time. i've never come across a more tightlipped --dash mike tightlipped board. when you agree to be part of that system you go in there with the understanding that this is a private school. a lot of people are not pleased specifically targeted. the parents were sending their kids there. and they are writing the tuition checks. in the system with a private school that is really the only official can ability they have. there are as you mentioned earlier a number of pending lawsuits. and hopefully there's some deposition that can bring some people to the table. but that is very uncertain at this point. i think there will be some disclosures in discovery. in terms of people ask us for the last two years will we ever se

gail university -- yale university. thee've been talking about cap between employer and employee but some of the biggest growth in the economy is in the freelance economy. even among white-collar workers. this is, i think, going to change the nature of education. mostly after college, most education was directed and paid for by employers. but if you no longer have an employee employer relationship and you're working in your own, who is going to help direct that learning for you? who is going to help you find it or pay for it? is rescaling throughout life is going to largely be self-directed. we are to have to enable students to be able to do that. this is another thought on kathleen's presentation is the growth of noncredit and short-term programs, which i don't think get enough attention. this goes to the last mile being the first mild. when you are unemployed or underemployed, the most important thing is to get a job and get it quickly. to get the skills necessary to get those jobs. what are the probably most degree p

in terms of defining, that is one way we could pull universities into line. —— we could pull universitieses into line. —— in terms of fining. the problem is, students now rule the roost completely at universities. universities are now effectively private businesses. ijust want universities are now effectively private businesses. i just want to get your action to the fact that in some circumstances it is down to the national union of students. and when stu d e nts national union of students. and when students are being polled, it seems most are students are being polled, it seems mostare in students are being polled, it seems most are in favour of what are regarded as safe spaces to a degree. how do you respond to that? most stu d e nts how do you respond to that? most students really have no recourse other than the national union of students. students who are polled are signed up to this ridiculous snowfla ke are signed up to this ridiculous snowflake attitude of being wrapped in cotton wool. students tell me all the time they want to hear the likes of meat speech and they are against bla

live this famous singer they say in michigan was a state university and it became a state-supported university then estate located university. jim always got a laugh out of that but it made a compelling point. part of what this book does is a manifesto for change. everything from changing teaching technique in classroom to the way they organize itself. how do we make that case? how does it get sounded in a way that is more effective? >> one reason i always do student centered activists pedagogy is good as i feel like people need to win. they feel so beaten down by the system that you need something that makes you feel powerful again. there also about having a voice in your society. so it's an old-fashioned community organizing method of how to stand up when you have no power to have a collective voice. were seeing this in america all over fighting for healthcare and other things were people are saying the system might not be working for me right now so how can i work with other people to have a voice in the system so that's one thing. they think were starting to see that we need to be reinvest

universities themselves autonomously didn't get this in order, so the universities minister is havingat to do, and i think that is quite a shame for us, and degrading that we are in that position. when did this trend for greater censorship on campuses begin? where and how did it begin, do you think?” campuses begin? where and how did it begin, do you think? i don't think we can identify any particular point where it became on campuses. unions have always had a no platform policy, for example for nazi or fascist groups... i'm really sorry to interrupt you. unfortunately the line we have with you and indeed sir anthony, both of those lines are not terribly good, we can't hear everything you are saying. we will try and connect with you again, apologies but we do have to leave those interviews at the moment. we will try to get back to those guests if we can establish a better connection. retailers have warned that prices for everyday items may rise unless the government focuses on replacing trade agreements which will no longer apply when britain leaves the eu. the british retail consorti

the university of north carolina, university of pennsylvania, dartmouth, harvard, as well as medical colleges in the deep south all participated in the domestic cadaver trade. not all bodies were african-american, but the majority were, and in my research, i was interested in the ones that were, if i could find out if they were formally enslaved, but i also came across a number of free black people on dissection tables. these are images from the early 20th century. you will hear much more about the cadaver trade and the work done here at uva. onre will be a presentation friday. you also see the history presented on twitter. i have enjoyed the last several months following the twitter feed, they have short quotes about, this enslaved person was caught stealing would, or they did not clean the grounds properly. one tweet at a time, revealing the history of uva. some of you who haven't had the opportunity to follow the twitter account, i highly recommend it. uvanow about some people at i think we will hear about on and takeewis commodore lewis, they were both owned by the university. ba

some universities and student groups have refused entry to speakers, jo johnson wants universities tohem. he has criticised the practice of no platforming, when student unions and other university groups ban speakers with what is seen as offensive or unacceptable views. the minister wants young people to hear and challenge controversial opinions, a view shared by the vice chancellor, of the university of buckingham. universities must be about letting a dialogue and debate happen, not suppress. if you suppress people's views, then you are a man exercising them, you legitimise them, you publicise them. what we need to happen at universities is the opposite. the feminist campaigner, julie bindell, who has personal experience of no platforming, argues the problem lies with the national union of students. students that are polled are clearly signed up to this ridiculous snowflake attitude of wrapping them in cotton wool. students tell me all the time that they want to hear the likes of me speaking against this blanket no platforming of feminists, as we are the ones mainly no platformed, an

it is the oldest university building in america. is named for an estate in england, part of the revenues that came to william and mary to , cameevenue for boys online in 1732. it is the third oldest in the , barely older than massachusetts hall at harvard, and our presidents house was completed in 1732, the fourth has been america, and home to all of william and mary's 27 presidents except one. slave labor was instrumental, utterly vital in the construction of each of our historic structures, but we have records to document this reality. we do have records to show that 17 slaves were purchased to work on the large tobacco plantation owned by william and mary in the 18th century. there were surely more that we other than thet 30 who were sold when the quarter itself had to be sold william and mary's periodic financial crises. we don't know the names of any of the enslaved who labored on the quarter, and william and mary also benefited from the labor of slaves in tobacco fields in maryland. during the 19th century, there was an influe

she went to george washington university hospital. but they told her that since she was denied a kit, rape kit at ward university, she was not allowed to get one at this hospital. hannah sought help and was rejected at every turn. this is tragic, mr. speaker. most of us have kids. a lot of them go to universities. all four of mine did. three are girls. we expect universities to do something to protect those ever this students when a crime is committed against it. the doctors and medical staff at both university hospitals were apparently not trained to deal with traumatized rape victims. they were clearly ignorant of how important forensic evidence is after an assault. so to ensure this doesn't happen to more victims, ift introduced legislation that will require a -- i have interdutiesed legislation that will require a hospital to provide access to a nurse or doctor who is properly trained to provide medical care for trauma and rape victims. or have a plan in place to quickly get a victim to a nearby hospital. i said hospital, universi
