ahead and say call it indoctrination if the wife of the thing is here with her talking about florida state university is it's a public university i think of this is something that maybe people would have except maybe would have expected from a private university although we do have to point out that yale in the past has turned down twenty dollars because the donor put the exact same type of restrictions on it and they said no way that goes against you know our principles of academic freedom but so what does that mean if our public universities now are are willing to accept this kind of money does that mean that there's not enough federal funds going there. well there aren't enough federal funds going there that's why students are feeling the pressure of their tuition going up that's why a lot of professors are getting fired and programs are getting cut these universities these public universities are really feeling desperate right now when it comes to funds and i think with the florida state university system you know they're experiencing the cutting funds and they don't know what to do and they have

for up to as far as polluting universities with their particular far right ideology with florida state university the coax gave for four hundred eighty thousand dollars to west virginia university and get all four hundred twenty thousand dollars to brown university they joined up with other right wingers to hand over three and a half million three point six million detroit university and the coast a seven hundred thousand dollars in state university there are dozens of other universities around the country that receive similar donations from these billion our brothers and just like with florida state university all of these charitable donations come with strings attached. here to talk more about these strains and what they mean for america's higher education system is leaf reporter and blogger extraordinary progress lee welcome back ajami strategy at florida state charles koch can pick and choose professors with his donation what other perks to these guys have with other universities or decision making powers. well it's different for almost every university i've seen you know and brown university

thousand dollars in the state university there are dozens of other universities around the country receive similar donations from these billionaire brothers and just like with florida state university all of these charitable donations come with strings attached. you're talking more about these strains and what they mean for america's higher education system is lee farm reporter and blogger extraordinary think progress lee welcome back to tom thanks for having me at florida state charles koch can pick and choose professors with his donation what other perks of these guys have with other universities or decision making powers well it's different for almost every university i've seen you know at brown university i don't think they have the same power to pick and choose professors ah but they give these big chunks of money and they target that money towards research projects that they like for example around a underwrote study argues that they deregulation how much the poor and if we wanted to help the poor we should regulate banks the same time a brown university that money goes to find right wing makers like amity share host her to come to campus and argue that. f.d.

universities and ethical or even a good thing i can understand is a jerry falwell's living you know absolutely we're talking florida vs. who is your are directed towards the koch brothers or florida state university why the koch brothers. because they're there saying we will give you money but only if you will treat trained kids the way that we want them trained so tom excuse me what spot to understand what the problem with that is the problem is that before the state once it's just it's outrageously inappropriate it's what is plenty of public interest this is the bottom line problem the main problem is that the koch brothers are conservative and so god forbid conservatives may try and daniel i think you have a point to your original point you're absolutely right that me my my big argument here is without this you never should have said yes will take your money strings i would rather have zero interest and they make those very sure that or try to hide that you have the right to spread observing f.s.w. and i'm sorry if i can't get outraged when university faculties are less ideologically diverse than george bush's cabinet you know look he's having to free market professors on the facult

on to buying ideas back in two thousand and eight charles koch wrote a big fat check to florida state university to help hire new professors in that school's economics department nice thing to do well not exactly coke made sure there were strings attached to his donation one of those strings is that charles koch now has the authority to hire whatever economics professor he likes and he could overrule the florida state fact aliya hiring decisions which he's already done shooting down sixty percent of the teachers proposed by the faculty in two thousand. considering the koch brothers obsession with deregulated so-called free markets and iran's psychopathic or sociopathic rally you can bet that any new hires are going to have to subscribe to that same ideology maybe like paul ryan's staff they all had to read atlas shrugged so how is letting billionaires determine what students learn in public universities ethical and what are the consequences of the sort of philanthropic activism we fought as a reporter and blogger extraordinary for think progress he joins me now lee welcome . for having me thanks

higher learning but not exactly is donations are actually molding the economic department at florida state university and there's this one little.
