at columbia was mr. inside as opposed to outside. and i basically ran all the programs come all the deans, vice presidents of the various schools. i reported to me. i also had substantial control over the budget here. i was running the internal operations of the university. i was in charge of the tenure system. i heard of her 700 cases and is a great friend come a great learning experience because i promised myself i would read whatever i was able to understand and get illiberal education through doing that. so the president was concentrating a great deal on the outside of the university, particularly fundraising and publicity and legislation in congress or in the state legislature. no extraordinarily important decisions are made without his approval of course, but i was basically running the inside. >> host: what you do not university? >> guest: i went back to my first love, teaching and doing research. trustees are kind enough to make the university professor, which means you can teach at any school the university. there's no bound

and it's never been achieved elsewhere in the world. >> what is columbia's annual budget? how many students? some of the basic facts. >> i been away from the budget for a while but i think it's now getting close to $4 billion a year. we have about 23,000 students. we have a faculty, or student to faculty ratio of about one in six or seven. so it's a very petite type of education which is one of the reasons why it's highly priced. it also i think, what people don't look for is the discount rate awful that tuition. >> what is the list price? >> the list price when undergraduate is probably toast about $50,000 a year, which is enormous, but if you come from a family without any means, you can go for free basically because -- that's a great story and it's a great part of american education. but very few universities can support that kind of financially program. we have to have a government, i think the federal government, which 150 years ago cast during the civil war one of the great acts of congress, which was the moral act to open up land grant colleges and state universitie
