georgetown is still using a 10-day quarantine.do you say to the major companies and universities who are ignoring your new guidance and sticking to the 10 days' isolation or quarantine for asymptomatic people? >> yeah, this is really important, and what i would say is that guidance that we put out is for the general public. we -- i'm committed to wanting to keep schools open and want to keep universities open. many of these universities have kids living in multiperson rooms, so they're going to have to adapt our guidance for the safety of their congregant settings. bret: right. but sticking them in a room for 10 days, doesn't that sound extreme to you? >> that is what our guidance was before. if a student -- and our updated guidance actually says you can leave isolation after of 5 days if you can wear your mask all the time including being able to eat meals alone so that you are not infecting others while you eat. that may need to be what's hang in these congregant settings. bre. bret: so you would send that message to georgetown,

universities like the universities who am mentioned in the lawsuit, universities like columbia georgetown, which is in the washington d. c. area. i and a yale have a long history of not really changing the, the amount of african american and latino students and native american students that get through their doors. but people who make big donations, who may not actually be qualified to get in there, seem to get in. and this is a real big problem for the future of our nation. i. i think our nation depends upon african american and latinos getting opportunities because as we know, the white population in the united states is shrinking and the population of african americans, latinos, and other people of color is growing. so if those young people don't get those opportunities of a nation isn't going to at jason, just to play devil's advocate for a 2nd because under an antitrust exemption for schools, universities are allowed to work together on determining financial aid formulas. as long as i understand it, as students are admitted on a needs blind basis. so is this lawsuit then like it to b
