chinese universities do not have these issues. english universities do not have these issues.e are spending this time on these matters. it definitely needs to be cleaned up. as i said, when these scandals break they can do tremendous harm to a university. host: back to the funds. south dakota, jim. you are on "washington journal." caller: thank you for taking my call. my question is -- host: jim? caller: the morning. my question is how much is the education of students being hurt by all of the emphasis being put on professional sports in colleges? we are not looking at academics anymore. we are looking more at sports all the time. would it not be a smarter thing to allow students to play sports if they do good in academics? guest: that should be the thrust of what college and university is all about. the n.c.a.a., and i applaud them, supported secretary arne that you dotiative not get a certain gpa that you do not play in the post-season tournament. i was a chemistry major at the university of maryland with a very difficult curriculum. i would come into practices late, but i d

chinese. and lived abroad and studied abroad in bolivia and mexico and china and also my first job out of college when i graduate it from university was in taiwan. i worked for a taiwanese law firm. i was a research assistant and an editor and studied mandarin chinese at night. but my first full day in taipei when i arrived after graduating from college was september 11th, 2001. on that day and the weeks that followed i realize i wanted nothing more than to be back in the united states with the deepest expression of patriotism stirring in our country. being on the other side of the globe when that was happening at home have a profound effect on me. all of us stayed out watching television, watching the 24 hour news cycle which really began then. it was 12 hours difference in taiwan's oil stayed up at night watching cnn as late as i could stay up. the reason was because fox news wasn't available in taipei at that time. ira was so inspired by president george bush's words and leadership as he rallied the country and rudy guiliani. the expressions of patriotism that were everywhere across the country, especially rallied you to patrio

it could push the russians and possibly the chinese to try and restore some kind of balance by arming themselves more. and professor of paris west university says the u.s. missile shield plans are for political reasons as there's no real threat facing america and its allies i don't think it's really a military necessity no one really believed that there was a possibility of iran attacking europe its myside stude not reach could not reach western europe so it was the deployment was scrapped in the czech republic knowledge and new deployment in rumania but i think this takes up purely political washington probably wants to reassure the former satellite countries of the soviet union so it's a political move but hardly a military necessity and also considering this link to the us economy i don't think it's a wise move in plentiful terms one of. this we said all this he would brush at least he was achieving something corp russia and key issues but this new deployment is aware of antagonizing russia which is going to turn into maybe some kind of new arms race which is totally pointless not only because the effectiveness of that shield is problem

chinese, you want to come to new york? why now? >> well, i think lots of people have understood theonnection between a research university, especiallyne whn entrepreneurial bent, and economic growth and generational jobs and new companies. that's well-understood now. everybody wants to come to stanford and learn how they built silicon valley in five years. it's going to take anydy mor th five years. my view is if we don't create another vibrant innovation center in the u.s., it's going to happen outside the u.s. that will be a loss of jobs, opportunity, leadership, a critical sector tt's critical not only for what it does in core i.t. but srs that lower reserve overlap. health care, finance, other sectors dependent on i.t. advances. >> money will go wheret's treated best, rht? what can governmentpolicy dozen toncourage this? why wouldn't apany set up shopoverseas? i think one of the big issues the administration's worried about,ot only aren'those companies bringing all the money they're making overseas back to the u.s. because they don't want to get taxed on it, they're setting up r&d facilities outside the u.s. a sending their best

the chinese are doing it to technical universities, 17 and 18 year olds being paid seven or eight bucks a week to come up with different approaches to hacking, coordinated by the pla. you look at the ways we are starting to respond, which is to create a ponderous bureaucracy. who do you think is going to win, if we centralize through our vast bureaucracy? on the other hand, look at silicon valley. all of the big companies are more concerned than the government is about being hacked and counterattacked. i think that trying to come up with the concept we had for the dni applied to cyber, to coordinate government activities and help the private sector -- you do not want the and a say in running the cyber business of google. we do not have that approach now, but we have to take our model from the threat -- decentralized but well coordinated. >> we will now have a question and answer. >> doyle mcmanus from "the los angeles times." i would like to expand on the cost of security in a time of fiscal austerity. the deficiencies and cost benefit -- can you expand that? are we doing it right? is i

chinese to try and restore some kind of balance by arming themselves more. well let's talk more on this with pier girl he's professor of political science at parris west universitythanks very much indeed for joining us live here on r.t. what obama scrapped the bush plans but threats from rogue states remain so washington is right is it not to continue with its missile defense shield well actually i don't think it's really a military necessity no one really believed it was a possibility if you ran it tacky in europe it's the size did not reach could not reach western europe so it was the deployment was scrapped and the czech republic now is a new department in reno but i think this takes up surely a political washington for a live wants to reassure our former satellite countries. so it's a political move but hardly a military necessity and also considering this going to the u.s. economy i don't think it's a wise move in financial terms. reason is probably political rather than then military or right thing with political battle if there if there isn't a threat as you say why though shouldn't the u.s. just compromise with russia and bring them into the system creat

university of maryland, having 30 different universities around the world participate, and i am reminded of some words to thousand 500 years ago from the chinese warrior-scholar and the author of the classic study, "the art of war," when he wrote, know thyself, know the enemy. 1000 battles, 1000 victories. i think those words are very appropriate to the war on terrorism. if we are to reduce the frequency of terrorist events around the world, we need to know our enemy, and this is where the tragedy of 9-11 has led to the mobilization of researchers and social scientists of all stripes to understand why we have terrorism, how terrorists are formed, how people are radicalized, what are the consequences, and how we counter this disgorge, so i am very pleased to see the number of colleges and universities around the country that have expanded their curriculum, offered new studies and majors and minors, even graduate degrees in the field of homeland security, and i want to thank the department of homeland security for funding these efforts, and i want to thank all of you for participating. i know many of you are here from agencies, from the military
