they were smart when they came in and have a georgetown degree or yale or harvard degree. that's given for these students. its what happens at the margins and the center of themselves, which is even more important that the credentialing. that's not what i'm interested in. but i realize families are interested in this and students are interested in credentialing as well but we have to open their imagination to something beyond that. >> host: listen, i think the most disheartening thing for me about the reaction to the book is i said, as you can -- as simple paraphrase, i said, many of our most elite schools are not giving students what i call a real education, which is what you just described. and the response has often been from within those institutions or people who recently graduated cannot, yes, we do give a real education, but who wants a real education these days? don't be a sucker. this is about jobs, about career, about return on investment. accomplish the kinds of things you just talked about. it's about life and not just about your job. this is increasingly diffi

late this afternoon against her school in the georgetown synagogue. that is where rabbi barry freundelel is accused of illegally videotaping women as they undressed and went into a ritual bath. the lawsuit claims as a professor at georgetown's law school, he encouraged the student to write a term paper on the ritual bath and told her to research it by immersing herself on two different occasions. the suit says she is one of at least 100 women who might have been videotaped and says the school and the synagogue should have done more to protect the women from the rabbi, because according to court records, he had a long-standing reputation for being, quote, creepy and encouraging young, attractive women to repeatedly use the bath. the lawsuit says one synagogue staffer is even quoted as saying the rabbi treated the mikvah like a car wash, every sunday, six students at a time. the student got the highest grade in the class because of that paper. but says she now feels she was lured to the bath by the rabbi so he could sexually exploit her. a university re

and it is always great to be back at georgetown. ajoya to thank president not only for those kind remarks but for his real understanding and commitment to the issue that we are here to discuss today, and that is the empowerment and participation of women and girls, and in particular in the economy. before i turn to that subject, i want to express my personal eelings about the loss of dean carol lancaster. carol was a great colleague over the last years, i traveled with her, worked with her, and when i was secretary we looked for and created a lot of partnerships with the school of foreign service. and so my thoughts and prayers are with carol's family and friends, and the entire university community. she would really love to have been here because she would have heartly approved of this gathering and she was instrumental in the creation of the first ever anywhere in the world georgetown institute for women peace and security. so for me this is yet another wonderful opportunity to talk about the work that georgetown is doing in partn

it's not that i think the elite catholic universities of which georgetown notre dame d.c. clearly are among come it's not that i think things are radically different there because it's all one system. the main aspect of the system is the kind of students that are being produced before they even get to college. it's really about the admissions process -- you know i have a half a paragraph in the book where i say i think in some ways religious colleges and that would include the catholic universities do think better because they are still paying attention to the higher purposes of a higher education. it seems to be one of the ones that is the most annoyed ivy league professors. people like steven pinker to incense with the idea that the word religious and the word good can be in the same sentence. >> host: i would tend to believe that religious schools and catholic and jesuit schools do have the value-added in what they do and i think i am trying to shape students for life and i tell parents for example you have given us a gem and we polish it and give it back to you with a
