this is what academic course does.try to claim the asa therefore represents one set of those writings by some people is, of course, to misrepresent what representation is all about. i dismiss that. i dismiss that argument. i think professor elson carried that to extremes that are not warranted by the record in any way shape or form. the boycott is specifically focused on a call by palestinian civil society an overwhelming number of organizations for cultural and academic boycott of israel because diplomacy has failed in the middle east. the united states is not an honest broker in this process. and so we can't hope for success. diplomacy having failed and boycotts being a very legitimate , theof civil resistance palestinians called for such a boycott. the asa responded to that call in a principled way. >> eric cheyfitz, could you respond specifically to what cary nelson said about the targeting of israel as against any other countries with equally abusive human rights record? is it only their civil societies haven't as

some people have criticized them for being not academic. you're not aiming them to be. >> no. >> you're now malcolm gladwell, you're expected to change the way we think or at least shine light on things we don't understand. >> yeah i mean i write books because i'm interested i want to go on that journey, that's all. i have -- there's stuff -- i want to have good excuse to talk to quirky eccentric people and have interesting things in the library. >> i like the lens for which he sees the world. >> that's exactly the best kind of feedback i get and very often i get it's really interesting when i am criticized i'm criticized by people who live in the word of ideas. so they don't appreciate that thing because -- >> you don't want the people that live in the world they are being -- >> they have a job they have kids, i refuse to apology to writing for that kind of person because i feel i am that kind of person. because i could have easily gone a different way, different position, i was this close to going to lawl law school. >> waiting for anothe

>> the ncaa's focus is almost entirely on academics and amateurism. whether an athlete has the grades more than anything else. and they could step in and take more of a leadership role in this. right now, each university sets it's own standards here. some wait until an athlete is formally charged with a crime for suspension, and others are more aggressive, so there's a little bit of a void there. in professionals, we have seen more. in 2007, allowing, and ben roethlisberger was suspended under that a few years. so in terms of who can step in and do something about allegations, or formal charges. >> hey, derek, there's a big difference in provisions and enforcement of those provisions. in your perspective, is enough being done in the professional leagues to put an end to rape? >> lisa, i'll say that enough is not being done. we're not doing enough at this point. and i think there's a lot more to be done, and at the same time, we need to continue to enforce these rules, and that they are followed. and we have to actually -- let's look at this. we were t

the vast majority of academics never question civilization much less industrial never quite else cost the consequences of that we. didn't encourage students to think indeed if my case there's an example academics are marginalized and punished for merely questioning the dominant culture. i don't see that scientists and especially academics scientists or are in a position that enables them to question the way we live in any significant way i just don't see that happening you know through my entire career nature bats last address is such a wide variety of things all of a diner connected of course a lab around how america as an and higher plays into the global self-destruction that we're seeing unfold. the monetary costs the u.s. military exceeds that of the next fifteen nations combined. the u.s. military uses more oil than any other entity on the planet so this is the head at this point. of a beast since jimmy carter proclaimed the doctrine of bears his name in the early ninety's he evaded states claimed ownership of all the world's resources securing them has proven very expensive in t

>> charlie, i think academic boycotts on principle are poor and if you believe in academic freedom, the idea that scholars anywhere should be isolated. the way to change behavior if you don't like it is to talk to people, not to isolate them here . in this particular academic boycott is much worse. it is much worse because the idea that, of all the countries in the world that might be thought to have human rights abuses, it might be thought to have inappropriate foreign policies, that might be thought to have -- to be doing things wrong, the idea that there is only one that is worthy of boycottnd that -- of and that is israel, one of the very few countries whose --ghbors regularly about regularly of outlets annihilation, that would be -- regularly avow its annihilation, that is beyond outrageous. >> one more thing. >> charlie, i said some time ago with respect to a similar set of that i regarded them to the anti-semitic in their affect if not necessarily in their intent. and i think that is the right thing to say about singling out israel. if there was an academic boycott against a whol

high school academic preparation is the number one driver of college completion. are small players in this game. the big players are still , if we could answer the five states to at least embrace policies that ensure low income students can pursue higher education with a debt- free guarantee or low tuition with respect to indiana, you can genetically improve college completion and reduce costs. this is not some sort of pie in the sky idea. i were to congress for a long time. congress has a long history of delivering aid in lump sums. we would suggest doing that with respect to a number of higher education programs. delivering that money to states. let states what they think is best to achieve the kind of outcome. imagine being able to say to an eighth-grade student if you are responsible and work hard in high school, will guarantee you they can go to a four-year university. he can go to a public college of atr college with a new state the very least without incurring any more debt or with an interest free loan or a cap on your debt. that type of promise as possibl

add yuns because the work on this is done by academics. the media sensationalized the concussion issue, and the academics say, look, this is sensationalism, alarmism. it's gone too far. you know, a lot of times in the circles academics get back, they are actually doing a great job, and one of the things they are doing a great job of is pointing out, look, all the concussion elixirs, the mouthpieces, the head bands are not goinged too anything for you to prevent a concussion or anything if you have a concussion. everyone, calm down, don't pay $150 for a mouthpiece. they will do something for the teeth. it will not do anything for your brain. >> sure thing. >> [inaudible] >> oh, yeah, sure. i was not sure who had their hand up first. >> my question was, they wear heavy pads and helmet. hockey is a fast game played # by big guys, lighter padding, less protective helmets, played on ice, and boards that don't give at all. do you think the nfl and physical in general should look at outfitting the players in a lighter pad and helmet to encourage

the most visible and active, i think, audience is the academic community. we have historyial advisory committee, again, mandated by the same 1990 law that created our overall activity of at this point. most of those members are representatives of the major historical, political science, the american society for international laws is represented there. and what we find is that our immediate feedback and whatever good or bad we do is most often noticed by the academic community. and what we create here, i think, is the foundation to the understanding of how this government performs in a world of foreign relations. you have to do a lot of work in addition to what we provide. but you can't avoid going through this pathway we established. >> do you know do other departments have historian on the same mandate? >> they don't. i returned from a conference on my counter part orlando the world staged in geneva. it was interest. there were 30 nations represented. they all have some general form of a program like we do. but nothing, nothing remotely resembling the scal

and this particular academic boycott is much worse. it is much worse because the idea that of all the countries in the world that might be thought to have human rights abuses, it might be thought to have inappropriate foreign policies, that might be thought to be doing things wrong, the idea that there's only one that is worthy of boycott and that is israel, one of the very few countries whose neighbors regularly vow its annihilation, that that would be the one chosen is, i think, beyond outrageous as a suggestion. >> rose: let he read it. citing a united nations report that outlines how the israeli occupation of palestine has impacted students whose development is deformed by pervasive deprivation affects health, education and overall security, the a.s.a. resolution resolves to honor the call for a boycott of israeli universities as a means of showing solidarity with palestinians." >> charlie, i said some time ago with respect to a similar set of efforts that i regarded them as being anti-smet nick their effect if not necessarily ther

the neoclassical style would continue into the 19th century, but arid and academic, incapable of imparting true feeling. true feeling is at the core of the sensibility which followed the revolution-- the period we know as the age of romanticism. there's no real definition of romanticism. we think perhaps of wild-eyed artists and poets like keats and shelley, of melancholy gothic ruins and mysterious northern landscapes, where 19th-century man communed with nature. and all that is a part of it, but the poet baudelaire said that the key to romanticism was not the subject matter or even truth itself, but feeling-- that you should listen to that inner voice, and that alone would give art its merit. and so the old moralities which had driven art in the past-- religion, traditional ethics, civic virtues, and so on-- were thrown out of the window. even reason itself was seen to be insufficient. all that counted was feeling and experience. this new sensibility-- heroic and sentimental, self-assertive and profoundly individualist-- would lie at the center of western art from that time until the pre
