i had a good academic background in high school. i learned the ethics at west point about duty, honor, country. and i think my classmates and all that, we joke about some of the things. but when you look at where those people have come from and what they have done for our nation, it is incredible. emily: in fact, there were three other future four-star generals in class with you -- david petraeus, martin dempsey, walter sharp. did you know they would be so powerful? are you friends? general alexander: i knew marty well. i knew skip. and they knew me. if you had asked any of us -- i thought i was going to stay for five years. i think everybody thought dave would be. but for me, i am as surprised as they are. emily: and then you went on from west point to rise quickly through the ranks. general alexander: did not feel so quick at the time. emily: if you only intended to stay five years, what happened? general alexander: well, actually, as my five years were coming up -- i had a great mentor. at the time, he was a brigadier general, to

academic impacts. i work within an academic setting. think we need to emphasize it enough because unfortunately in academic settings students become a number, and people are not really comprehending the impact of stress on cognitive abilities and academic impairment. sense of isolation, discrimination, and alienation can impact self-esteem, long-term relationships, your identity can get deeply impacted and affected. this is from a mental health provider. this is very concerning what we see is insults and humiliation can lead to homicidal ideations, thoughts, plans, intent, and some of unfortunately act on it, too. we know one in four muslim students are reporting experiencing stress at school. so this is the model i created. what does it mean? oops, too small to read. basically what i'm talking about, for a muslim youth, negative perception, religious discrimination, all these play an impact on creating this toxic stress. but i do want to talk about the defense mechanism. these are very important to understand. so, mostly we see is we d

student academic success.about five months ago the department of education released a first of its kind set of measurements to support safe and and rich learning environment for all students and staff. i might add that these resource tools can also be included as key components for bullying prevention and in emergency operations planning. the new resources include the education school climate survey and a quick guide on making school climate improvement. additional resources as part of a school climate improved resource package would be released later this month, and through the fall of this year. these whatever resources were developed for the department of education by the american institutes for research and the national center on safe support of our departments operated by a i r. the surveys and the company resource but euros are posted on the website and i will provide that information for you in a moment. first i would like to provide you with a little bit of background. the school climate survey is and

. >> i really don't see that being something good academically. >> to this school superintendent. this letter was sent to governor o'malley after a task force they said it pures to be based on purely economic reasons. we believe it should be determined locally and based on meeting the academic needs of our students, and these parents don't buy that. >> honestly a couple more days of school will not make that much of a difference. >> how big of a deal can it be if they are doing it around here? >> reporter: they want the later date. >> it would be nice to have one more week. >> reporter: we reached out to the governor and the comptroller's office, and both said they have no comment. reporting in green belt, i'm ellison barber, wusa 9. >> there's 24 school districts in maryland, and just one school system starts after labor day, and that's worcester county. >>> in prince george's county, the head start program kicked off a new school year as scheduled despite the allegations of teacher abuse that cost the program its federal funding. the executive and school chief center in capitol

so, for us, we want, sure, students who are academically prepared to take on the rigor at santa claraings that have enriched their lives, that have added both to their challenges, and the complexities, and the triumphs so that they bring that to campus and that be part of the educational fabric at santa clara. damian: that'll put your application on top of the pile. eva: absolutely, we see those standout applications all the time. in fact, i actually have a file of students who have inspired me because of the challenges and things that they've faced, and to then come to the point where they've submitted an application and then attended, it really is miraculous sometimes. and again, that's the reward. but it comes through. it's really important that students really share their stories that make them individuals. and everybody is, so the best they can convey that in an application, that will have them stand out. damian: all right. well, here's your chance to apply. it's santa clara university. there's the web address for more information and the main number that you can dial. thank you

brief break for lunch and it session on strategies to create safe understandings in an inclusive academic environment. there will be a discussion on

he's my academic hero among economists who look at these issues. i think extraordinary human being and thinker, but let me say there are structural changes that can be made. one of the things that has increased inequality is the favoring of debt over equity that's a big one and we have all kinds of laws that favor data over equity. you know, the fact that dividends are not deductible by corporation, the interest is. we do everything we can to do that and leverage is one of the things that has contributed enormously to inequality. we have chosen a system foolishly that makes it more likely, so i don't know which things in particular you want to change first, whether it's more important to change trusts or the estate tax first or whether it's more important to change these rules that affect debt and equity, but you have to change them all, probably, to take on a problem as hard as this one. >> host: the issue of finance is interesting not only in how it's contribute it to accumulate riches in the hands of a few financiers, but also how good is spent

about 90% are academics, statesman and politicians. pretty intellectually high end books. >> host: where is -- is this independent? part of a larger corporation? >> that is a great question. it was until two months ago an independent publishing company. it remains part of the book series that we have just very recently, about a month ago, been bought by the fourth largest publisher in the united states. >> how does that affect what you do? >> not much. i think i have to learn new computer systems but i think it is a really good fit. it is known in the united states for publishing a lot of fiction. it is all non-fiction so i think it is really good counter balance. they have been lovely. i mean they are taking a whole group and picking it up and moving it over. so i still have the same staff, and the same books and the same boss. so it is sort of minimally traumatic as a buy out to me. >> publisher of basic books, you can look for some of their titles this fall. this is booktv on c-span2. >> c-span2, created by america's cable companies

from seeingre is how research was happening in mostly the academic world will resolve his clusters of studies these clusters of studies going on. thinking about the 10 years ago, you would see these little studies being funded by the nih. they were typically underpowered and we were not able to get enough people enrolled or get enough information or get grants large enough to fund. a lot of that is what has led to become founding of the personal to the base company. a whole new way of doing genetics research by doing it through crowdfunding and crowdsourcing. that was before we had things like kickstarter. it was a logical way to approach a problem that was not been solved fast enough. forward to the genetic opportunity. while i was still there, i started thinking about all the other data we have in us, on us and around us. the wearable space starting to muild their years ago -- boo five years ago, it is a logical that each person should be able to own their own data. we have the ability to tap into this with wearables and sensors and auditors. why don't we try -- monitors. why don't
