by this time he had left harvard law school. he famously resigned from harvard law school in protest. harvard law school when he resigned have not, did not have any black women on its faculty. he put that in an ultimatum. listen, harvard law school, by a certain time he better have hired a black woman, and if you have not, i'm not going to teach anymore. he stood by his ultimatum and altmann left harvard law school and went to new york university law school and that is where he was teaching at the end of his career, the end of his life. and i went to teach this session. and i taught it and i taught it one week after he had passed away. we did have one final conversation on the phone, and i was able to express my gratitude to him and my deep respect for him. and i think at the very end i think we were able to reach our reconciliation which was very meaningful to me and one of the reasons why i wanted to write this essay is my effort to show, pay my respects to derrick bell and one of the ways in which you want to pay my respects

ah, many universities like harvard regularly receive funding from private companies. this is a perfectly legal, common practice many prestigious universities. jeffrey superman is a ph. d. student will join him at a film, screening in $21700.00 bill for kennedy center announced a screening of a film time. and essentially it's hell. it tells the audience about how for the foreseeable future, we're going to be relying on fossil fuels, how renewables of way off in the distance, not right now, not really reliable. and frankly promoting hoss truths at best. about inevitability of continued fossil fuel usage grange them with that, or what we're seeing or right. well with fewer susan's, if you has the permit your home. and surely this is a reasonable film until we dug just a little bit beneath the surface the academic talking heads, the ones that were present to this professor. the universities, without exception actually will have deep ties to the oil and gas industry from consultancy relationships to running sensors, reliance and fossil fuel funding to literally being on th

guess harvard professor decided to investigate just that. so in the early 2, thousands, the american media were presenting climate change is a big scientific debate. and that struck me as weird because none of the scientists that i knew thought it was a debate. so i decided to undertake an analysis of the peer reviewed scientific literature. the i p. c. c. had already stated that most of the observe warming was likely to be due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations. so i posed the question, how many papers published in peer reviewed scientific literature? this agree with that statement from to answer that question. naomi a rescue is, looks up, research papers for global climate change. the words appear in 937 scientific papers to arrest his reads them all. and what i found was none. there was no dissenting public publish i to re period literature on the basic question of whether or not men may climate change was happening. and i'm a professional historian of science, so i thought, well, if i don't know this, then probably a lot of

the summer of 2006 included i was a student at harvard took an internship at goldman sach's. there's something i learned that summer is not something i expected to learn. i thought i would evaluate companies it. i did learn a lot about how to aggregate power. had aggregate power we go to harlem and plant trees. when i noticed my showed up at harlem no one was interested in planting trees but everyone showed up except for the boss who is door to be found. no one was planting trees for their telling investment war stories they catch up on the gossiper know what was planting trees which is a thing went to harlem to do. the managing director the guy at the top of the food chain by the name they were slim fit suits, tailored shirts they do not wear rolexes they have visibly cheap black rubber wrist strap. with it and said hey guys, take the pictures and get out of your that's exactly what we did. we started drinking but i asked when the older associates nearby and said look, we wanted to call it a social day we should've called it that rather than service day. and his response stu

it's happening at places like harvard where there is an underrepresentation. and you know, then given the pandemic we have declining enrollment in these colleges and again financial crisis so i think the continuity of this is for of the most devastating to me and it really picks up as you go. by the end it becomes so clear that we need reparations for institutions of higher education. i had a doctoral student who tried for months to access files on the history of two hbcus for southern women. the responses to the racial justice system because the archives of those colleges were so much more just accessible. they had more resources and staff to be able to get. there are so many ways in which this affects colleges that we don't even see. in contrast, i remember from the development office saying we are about to do a capital campaign. what should we ask for. what they don't say in the book is one of the mandates about a percentage of donations to other colleges to say whatever donations you get you have to donate to an open enrollment college or hcb you because t

none at harvard. no one is mistreating her. no professors. is finding white supremacy in a distant place. it's like if i were at dartmouth and said the reason i am performing poorly at school because slum kids in india only get one meal i day. i can't perform. think of the kind of how farfetched this has to be to make any sense. >> laura: the fact that someone along the way taught her this is okay to think this way. this is the result of education gotten to harvard? >> if you think more broadly. think about critical race theory or woke culture, a lot is nothing more than providing excuses for failure. instead of how do i make myself better and conform myself to the requirements of tests? the tests must be biassed. the college is racist. the institutions are all against me. it's excuse making trying to explain inferiority and academic -- you are not able to match up. >> laura: coddled kids of any race crumble. today an fda panel approved the pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11 years old. a comment made by a doctor on the panel is one of the most twiste

students they're never intending to take so harvard, princeton, gayle and you harvard, princeton or yale up apply that's one more rejection it makes it more exclusive. it's an extremely unethical act it's wasting people's time, wasting their money, leading them on increase the prestige of the university and the ranking systems. >> what was your college experience would you do it differently today? >> i went to a small liberal arts college for undergraduate. graduate school phd and a large public university taught at both types of institutions. i see some similarities some differences i offer the same advice into the high school students when i talk to them today, think about it strategically. pick a major base out what you think will be suited and trying to discover yourself are trying to find a new path, hobby or consumption in life. in other words, think a way to get to college efficiently. one thing i would have done is continuing in the community college credit not the general education requirements out of the way. what we will find is these are the major contributor to the cost of c

our distinguished speaker this evening is john roy price the road scholar and harvard educated attorney who migrated from 1968 rockefeller campaign to that of nixon. he promptly joined the new nixon administration in 199 working with daniel patrick moynihan and later working with domestic adviser john ehrlichman a special system to the president for urban affairs. he ultimately became head of government relations for chase manhattan bank and present ceo of the federal bank of pittsburgh. a special note jonas joined this evening by his daughter alexandria so welcome to both of you. john's new book "the last liberal republican" an insider's perspective on nixon's surprising social policy" reveals the influence of those of moynihan and ehrlichman and the broader demonstrations very at ease. these men who surrounded the president impacted american social policy for decades much of which we are only realizing now. richard nixon shocked democrats the extent of his -- he proposed a guaranteed family income and almost achieved a national health insurance program as a republican but i will save

they encourage studentss to appy and that they are never intending to take so harvard, princeton, yale wasn't when students were probably not going to get into harvard of why because that adds another rejection.s to me this is an extremely unethical act wasting people's time and money into something they are not going to be offered by that university to increase the prestige of the university to gain the rankings. >> host: would you do it differently today? >> guest: for under graduates at both sides of the institutions i see some similarities and differences. i think if i had done college i would offer the same advice to high school students, to think about it strategically. pick a major early on and based on what you think is going to be suited to make a career not because you are starting to discover your self or find a new path or hobby. think of the way to get through sufficiently. i would have taken more advancement classes, continuing to try to knock the general education requirements out of the way. these are one of the major contributors that you're spending one and a half to

this is the result of education gotten to harvard. >> more broadly go beyond her case and think about critical race. more broadly or will culture a lot of it is nothing but providing excuses for failure. incentive -- instead of focus on development how do i make myself better, how do i conform myself to the requirements of the test, the test must be biased, the college is systematically racist, the institutions are all against me. it is a labyrinth of excuse making in a sense trying to explain inferiority and failure and academic, you are not able to match up. >> calls kids of any race, and they are all coddled, thank you for being here which of the panel approved the pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds and the comment made by doctor on the panel is one of the most twisted we've ever heard so we will play for you in a moment. topical pain relief ingredient. it's clinically proven, reduces inflammation and comes in original prescription strength. salonpas. it's good medicine. >> ♪ ♪ >> you get some protection from natural infection. it's not as strong as what >> you get some protectio

after you graduated from harvard law school in 1943, you joined the us military and joined a battalion for the invasion of france. what are your key recollections of that time? i enlisted wherever i could get into the army, and i was a buck private, the lowest rank you can get, assigned to be in the artillery battalion. in that capacity, we landed on the beaches of normandy. france was occupied by the germans. the only to move the war forward, to get rid of the war was to defeat the germans. i sailed from lands end, the tip of england, across to omaha beach, which was still, er, had been cleared by the time i got there a bit, but there were many soldiers in american uniforms still lying in the sea, face down. there were many armoured vehicle still in the water, and we have to push in from there into france and defeat them. i was with the artillery all the way, many battles on the way, and it was only when we got into the german occupied, and germany itself, that we began to encounter possible war crimes. as nazi atrocities were uncovered, you were transferred to a newly—created war cri

he is a graduate of harvard college and yale law school. he is one of those reporters who with a career turn here or there could have become one of the people he is now covering at the supreme court. and today adam liptack has the lead story in the "new york times" not because the supreme court did something today, not because the supreme court issued an historic life changing ruling today, but adam liptack has the lead story in the "new york times" today because of what the supreme court might do. here is the first sentence of the "new york times" lead story on page one in that upper right corner today, a transformed supreme court returns to the bench on monday to start a momentous term in which it will consider eliminating the constitutional right to abortion, vastly expanding gun rights, and further chipping away at the wall separating church and state. it did not have to be this way. those things did not have to be on the supreme court's agenda tonight, but they are there because the supreme court has never been enough for democratic vo

he discussed his book with harvard university economics professor and former george w. bush economics advisor greg. here is a little bit of that conversation. >> i think that there is something to be said for exploring the way in which may be it can stand on its own 2 feet. a big part of what i take aim at in the book isn't just the ideology in and of its own right but it's merged with capitalism which actually taints both the progressive values that the corporations are asked to be stewards of and relegating the purpose in and of itself so that is what the heart of the book is about more so than a criticizing one end of the political spectrum or another. >> host: now "after words" errors every sunday on booktv and you can watch all previous episodes on the website, booktv.org. and it is also available as a podcast on c-span's new app, c-span now. finally, here's some of the best-selling nonfiction books according to "the new york times." topping the list is a book we will not be covering on booktv, and it's memoir the storyteller. after that, to rescue the republic on

that term was created by a harvard professor to describe this notion of using technology to essentially convert all of our human experience, everything out there in the public domain, into data, using it to make predictions and also in recommendation engines to manipulate our choices and our behavior. that's being done throughout the economy. when you're messing around with the algorithm, what they're trying to do is to improve the profitability of that manipulation. and all of that stuff is something that is going to go all the way to the top of the company, but at the same time, it is not just facebook. the same thing is going on throughout the economy. and congress when it is looking at this can't look at it just as a facebook problem. they have to look at this exactly the way we looked at child labor, exactly the way we looked at the chemicals industry or food industry when those industries were out of control. and the good news on this is we're americans, we're experienced, we know how to deal with stuff like this. we just have to put our mind to it and we as citizens have to insis

so says harvard business school's tsedal neeley. >> we cannot underestimate the extent to which peopleced such stress, such anxiety and a ton of burnout in the last 18, 19 months. that is also driving their interest to say, i don't want this lifestyle as it is, i want to change it. paul: georgetown university's brooks holtom has long studied worker turnover. >> periodically, people experience shocks that cause them to reconsider how work fits with the rest of their life. all of us for the past 18 months have experienced one of these shocks. paul: as microsoft futurist and slipper fan desmond dickerson told us back in the spring -- >> 40% of the global workforce intends to leave their job in this coming year. paul: and ever so many have, led by millennials. it's in the last year, the rate at which workers age 30 to 45 resigned rose by over 20%. some of the hardest-hit sectors -- health care and tech. the specific reasons? first and perhaps fore burnout. >> staffing is at anmo all-tim,e low. the morale is at an all-time low. it's traumatic. it's stressful. we're at a breaking point. paul

she said, i would like to leave harvard business school work for a few years at a tech giant. and then go into this new regulatory agency. it's like elizabeth warren's dream scenario with all the invite economic stuff. so what we know is it will be protecting facebook. why? because the same idiots that are sitting across the senator saying, all this admit there's more lobbyist for facebook and google than anybody else up there on capitol hill and money talks and senators walk. and so again, we should be able to predict that and the public has to demand something different than this kabuki theater that we saw. and we know that facebook is a private company that can it truly be a free speech platform if the so called misinformation police, which is what hug in essentially was at facebook, are deciding what's true and not true. shouldn't we be concerned if anything, conservative says, is defined as hate speech when it's just the opposite of their narrative? yeah, this is the exciting thing about natasha living at this time is all the models have gone out the window, right? the li
