during the prior academic year, mr. chairman, 86 percent of from seeing a student athletes at baylor receive their undergraduate degrees and many have gone to pursue advanced degrees. this past fall semester to our student athletes to achieve the cumulative gpa of 327. these are remarkable times. the reality is is that even in these best of times college athletics, including at baylor, is not a profit generating activity. it is not generating profits for baylor, nor for the vast majority of institutions of higher education it. the regional directors recent decision at northwestern university has characterized our student-athletes as employees. this is an unprecedented ruling, as the chairman noted. in our view it is misguided. the term student athlete is real . we would invite members to come to our campus and see for themselves. it is their relationship with her parents, and -- which provides college education. but a student athletes are first and foremost do and stuff but are expected to be and required to be of far r

and programss contribute significantly to their ultimate academic success and may include academic advising, degree planning, career counseling, any institutions provide very high quality academic support, such as tutoring service, computer labs, and study lounges. we have study hall. student athletes receive specific financial benefits, which help them progress toward degree completion. these benefits are very familiar , tuition, room and board, fees, books, and other elated expenses. what is the purpose? the purpose and offering financial assistance is to encourage our student athletes to carry on and to complete their academic work and the vast majority do. the nlrb has expressed a view that the legal issue of employee status is ultimately a matter of congressional intent. we agree with that. in this instance, the regional director has mechanically applied a rigidly wooden task drawn from the common law. absence of any congressional intent to include college athletics is an employment then you -- as an employment venue. it does create a dichotomy. notes thatn northwestern university is n

we participated together on a couple academic panels. i had long been a fan of her work and she has written widely on african-americans and photography in the 19th and 20th centuries. and we determined that there was enough really interesting, provocotive work being undertaken by scholars we knew but some didn't know but came into contact with their work and we wanted to assemble a correction of the work just to give readers a sense of what was possible when we started to think about photography historically and photography in specific relationship to african-americans and when we started to think about the development of photographic technology and not only deal with images but deal with the production of images and the circulation of images and the variety of early technologies that are very different from our present technologies, some of which had their basis in chemistry, but important technology nevertheless. we found these images and the number of images that featured slaves, free persons, and the number of images that we were ast

they will meet people from the academic support staff. they will see -- and we try to determine is there a diagnostic testing issue. that's done by the university. but in terms of any learning disability. so there is a very holistic introduction to the university as6i a whole including the academic side. and usually the parents or parent or loved one is there with the perspective student athlete. >> thank you. my time has expired. i yield back. >> thank the gentlelady.o! mr. rah key that. >> thank you, mr. chair. thank the gentlemen for your testimony today. you know, i think from what i heard judge starr kind of, as he would being a former judge, kind of really clarified the issue, and that is are we going to use the nlra as a vehicle for the improvements that you've all talked about today. i suspect, no. i can't imagine the authors of the law or the intent of congress was to cover this situation. but let's poke around with it. let's explore a little bit. mr. livingston, if the students were to strike or if the athletics department or un

we had together participated on at least a couple of academic sales. i have long been a fan as it were of her work. she's written quite widely on african-americans and photography in 19 to 20th century. we determined that there was enough interesting work being undertaken independently by scholars we knew and didn't that had come into contact that we wantewanted to assemble a collen of the work just to give them a sense of what was possible when we started to think about photography historically and in the specific relationship and the development of photographic technology and not only deal with images that deal with the production of images and circulation of images that are different from the present technology some of them have had the bases. important technologies nonetheless, and we certainly found these images and the number images that featured slaves and free persons. the number of images that we were astounded to see associated with. we tried to figure out why he was but that he would risk annoying as regular audiences by speaking on a subjec

if they can come up with a better measure of academic qualifications and academic success i'm all for that. but you should apply those measures to everybody. you shouldn't say well we require children for students who are this color to do well on the s.a.t. and students are a different color we are going to look at other factors for them. i also think that they can't be seriously argued that schools are treating people differently on the basis of skin color and art knitting students with referred skin colors who have lower academic qualifications and that is shown by the fact that they are much more likely to flunk out and much more likely to switch majors. whatever index of success you have it correlates unsurprisingly if you admit students who have over qualifications they are not going to do as well. speak and i respond to something roger just that? here's a point of agreement. i actually agree with you that we should take the lessons we have learned from three decades and apply it to everyone. i think s.a.t. score should be optional or not used at all because they predict little t

treated as an embarrassly unoriginal 101 is fors a tourly academic discussion -- purely academic discussionwe were having. they're widely accepted. i think there's a phrase i once heard about sort of another set of principles that could apply to this situation, that these principles are simple but not easy. they're very simple to understand, but then it's not easy what you actually do with them, where you actually go next. and i think that's, i think the role of academic -- [inaudible] is just to keep clear the very simple principles and to make sure that the audience that i'm addressing which is really the applied development policy community, that's who i'm calling sort of the relevant experts who do think that they are sort of in charge of development in a sense, that there is a sort of tyranny of experts. not as attacking anyone individually is a bad idea, but they think that the world bank experts apply the technical solutions that will be implemented, and that is the way the development happens. and bill gates seemed to be addressing that view and that -- in that quote that i gave. th

gls the most academically prepared students from lower income families and compare them with the lowest achieving, less prepared students, they graduate from college at almost exactly the same rate. the higher income students who are lower achieving, graduate about 30% and lower income, higher achieving graduate at about 30%. >> is it a myth that higher performers academically are at a disadvantage with the expectation they don't need to go to college? >> when they do they're not going to perform as well as people coming from other communities around the anxiety, you find yourself in a classroom and worried what others are thinking of you and they may be expecting you to perform more poorly than in fact you're capable of performing, what's demonstrated is that has an effect on performance. >> what a great conversation. thank you for being with us. >> my pleasure. >> our neighbors to the north have something that america used to have and have lost. coming up. >> al jazeera's investigative unit has tonight's exclusive report. >> stories that have impact... that make a difference... that o

policy how can they change the success in academics not just athletics. re: northwestern university football players documents and all consuming sometimes eye-popping demand of a college football player in today's profit driven world. at northwestern the daily life of a football player revolves around practice and preparation. commonly affording a 50 hour commitment during the fall season with any classes or homework squeezed on top. you can see the sample displayed here i believe on the screen of the northwestern players. they are expected to be in the training room on monday morning for their medical checks by 7 a.m. in the various position meetings with pads and helmet until noon. at night they meet to review the films and there's always the agility drills on a conditioning, weight lifting, workouts, playbooks to study in between. from the beginning of the month-long august training camp through the 12 week season the postseason play and intimate of january once it warms up to february to the mandatory spring workouts cut the high-stakes football prepa

massachusetts would know something about academic excellence and school excellence. we went from 12th in the country to number one in the country, from 1993 to 2003. we are number one still. we are the top six in math and science, that's two different tests that we participate in as a country. we did this through yes, charter schools and i differ completely from what connor was saying standards are ex-freely important. the activist democratic goals that you put into place are extremely important. they define the quality of content you put in two classroom. the liberal arts based content that you have, and we have done more academic research on common core, whether it's the legally for os, but mainly the quality, and our greatest fear is that massachusets we don't have oil in the ground, we don't have all kinds of resources what we live and die by is our wits and what witness tad iso is have kids who are truly prepared for authentic college level work, and common core does not get you there. the lead writer in the massachusets board of education meeting says common co

but i have never encountered it in the academic world. i think that there is, at smith, a very strong feminist concern with making sure that women are not called girls, that they are spoken about very respectfully. and certainly anyone who arrives on campus and talks condescendingly about women will be hissed and called to account for it. but this other obsession with using totally neutral language, i--i've never encountered. could be that there is a--a--a--a group of the student body at smith who has these concerns, but if so, i've never met them. c-span: elizabeth cady stanton is one of your subjects in your book under the heading of--chapter 5 is feminist plots. >> guest: yes. c-span: what's that chapter about, and what was she about? >> guest: the chapter is about the way in which women who were among the founders of the feminist movement in the united states and in the united kingdom tell their life histories, because after all, these are all political activists of the most extreme kind, quite far out on the spectrum of behavior in t
