away from the institution q. he tells us of his concern that they'll be no real change for disabled resident. of the rebel. sort of the. north you know what was the minute you struck. the fear for disability campaign as is that european union money if you use a model that's far from being the kind of community living 1st in physics when there was a clamor to close down institutions in this country. on a journey to the city of stone as a goal or a leading disability advocate kept a lot of us is furious about how she says money has been spent in her country. after proper. to say no we didn't waste the money that makes me furious not just going to guess that it's a lie. disabled from a young age has never lived in an institution but today we're going to see her friends and to see who still does. she says. small. bridge iow looking at the scenes and. so gets our minds. to live our own lives wind there's one divorce or one might so ok but balls over willing to live for our life is the old stuff of this board instituti

this year it's artist institute. with the help of an artist ellie has written an extraordinary graphic autobiography account of what it was like to grew up in remain in state care. for them there was a. child by a car a method. though that. found that of a child walk on that. they began to bet. they said the. there are. any escaped and now lives independently in here in flat adjusting to freedom after decades of institutional life. uncle my our. my there was. the process. along with martin another survivor of institutions kelly is working with the charity into mush wire to refurbish apartments their health that they can create for disabled people still living in institutions. will close there for a lot of people. said the. barnyard j r. r. 5 was no creating thousands of years apart of them and she fear card on what is the best and. it's fair go for the sun always a bit better that they get on with that. in fact the right of disabled people to live independently is a key policy and i'm like other member countries ruma

and incarceration in state institutions. for our 2nd film we start in polk area another country with an appalling past when it comes to the treatment of people with disabilities now praised as a model for using millions in even money to move children from institutions and away forward to other member states. one controversial part of the reform is the creation of watercooled small group homes. the claim is that these places for up to 15 children and youngsters are about a family environment community. but during this investigation we gained 1st hand evidence from inside bug areas group aliens evidence which raises disturbing questions not only about abuse neglect but about whether these places really can change life for europe's disabled citizens. these are beautiful brand spanking settings but they still remain as the 2 shows people come and go they still do not have their what ptolemy their basic autonomy and we say that this is the wrong approach both ethically morally but also legally under international. july this year

from the hudson institute, this is an hour and a half. >> good day and welcome to the hudson institute and thank you for showing up for this panel on multilateral institutions. indispensable or irrelevant to global peace and prosperity. i will be the moderator. . am liselotte odgaard i put together this panel which i think is on a key issue in d.c. and globally indeed. it is talked about a lot although there are not that many panels about the topic around town. i look forward to this discussion. i mentioned to come up for the past couple of years, there has been a lot of debate about multilateral institutions and on china's influence and how that is quickly growing and leading to changes in the fundamental rules of the since to two nations and also giving rise to alternatives to the old ones. and one question that arises the is does that make institutions that we already have counterproductive to preserving a liberal world order when authoritarian states rise within the institutions? and partly take over responsibility for them? another key issue is the one on fragile states. they seem

so in closing, we will continue to advocate for these institutions. because although i did not go to an hbcu, so many of my colleague, distinguished colleagues, the whip, mrs. adams, and so many others, were educated at hbcu's and we see their talent and their brilliance every day on these floors of the house of representatives. to continue to's strive and be strong and continue to do the service that they have done nor country for decades. with that, madam speaker, i yield back to the chair. ms. adams: thank you. i want to thank the gentleman from new jersey where i grew up for not only his service there but for his contributions tonight and with that, madam chair, i yield to the gentleman from florida, representative lawson, for two minutes. ms. lawson: thank you, madam chair. madam speaker, i rise to speak for hbcu's. i would like to thank my colleague, mrs. adams, for her input and how she's worked extremely hard to put hbcu's at the forefront. in theup in a rural area country where we were let out of high school early so we could work in the toba

we are kind of unusual institution. we've had three presidents since 1952, i've had two chairs of my investment committee since 1978, i've been there 31 years, four directors over 20 years. so that kind of stability and consistency is really important in investing as you go. and we've been able to just build great relationships with a top over that time and it's been a tremendous blessing. >> we look at those numbers and i think the annual growth averages around 10% over the last several years. so how have you managed to outperform most asset classes in that time. tell us about the investment strategy. >> will live at jerry's we get access to the best. given our brand institutionally, we have a great team, they've got a tremendous office with really committed people, we are out there every day. i think we interview 800 investment firms all over the world. so were really looking for skill, really talented people. really hire a few a year. even though were talking to a hundred, a lot of is that consistency over time meeti

human rights which is a council of europe institution not a european union institution but these things grants lonely and remember of course the government still do have great influence on many of the representatives within the council of europe so if you were advising the catalan government at the present moment or did the wider catalan cause how would you tell them to frame the diplomatic offensive to try and tighten round the shut doors of getting from morse of the countries in europe. i would tell them primarily to look outside europe i would tell them to go to the developing world the g 77 countries as we call them and in diplomatic speak and to flame. catalonians desire for independence. in respect of the right of self-determination and the top the united nations of the united nations general assembly one of the relatively few crumbs of comfort that catalonia has received in terms of international support has been the refusal of a number of jurisdictions south of us the european arrest warrants that spanish government taken out against their cameras long against clock but saturday

on fire is take us here to an institution near the town of tal much to. the conditions for some disabled people here and over the past year. in the grounds a resident whose hands are tied. this is privilege and one where over 40 severely disabled residents with intellectual disabilities live the surroundings are bleak and spartan. we understand there were over $160.00 serious incidents a time out of the course of just 18 months the majority in pavillion one violence between residents needing to injuries including teeth pulled out and fractures there were also a suicide attempts. we traveled to meet an independent psychologist who's monitored conditions inside remain in institutions for the past 15 years an expert brought in to investigate the telemachus center a place he says that's emblematic of the response of all forages in romania when it comes to the abuse of disabled people here. chartist com or is the government my doctor knows a lot of thing for muncie and can see that at the start of the flopped not wallow by the popular ask the question. was are

thank you to the hudson institute. it's a pleasure being here, thank you for inviting me to speak on this. over the last three years i spent a lot of time crisscrossing what we now call the indo-pacific region from tokyo to taipei, from kuala lumpur, to honolulu to hanoi. most of the place i ran into richard somewhere along the way. but what of the things that struck me and all of these places is capitals,,egnaval bast hurt a very similar concerns about the rise of china. of course every country has its own priorities and so its own interests. but broadly speaking we could categorize them or we could compartmentalize them into four broad areas of shared concern. the first that had to do with the lack of transparency of decision-making. china is no longer an inward looking country. it now has global interested in displaying a a very active economic and diplomatic and security role in many german parts of the world. but for the first time in a century we are seeing a truly global power perhaps with the exception of the s

>> they were focused on for years institutions and by institution level. now are down to the program. level? what that would do would be improving any students at any field of study depending on how long it takes? >> to acknowledge there are many pathways to a many successful adult life and we encourage students to look at all of their options, and look at them starting mid in middle school. frankly >> your scorecard would actually predict more schools than the previous administrations it because you're including at the decree level not the institution level, and you are considering all programs not just baccalaureate. >> right. so you've done more to help sue students. i would >> argue that. yes >> because previously i've been going to have to your degree an apprenticeship i wouldn't have that information a group of crime? >> the thank you i appreciate it very. much also has the informations shared on the scorecard it's been expanded over your watch can you highlight what changes have been made what the additional education pathways of made, and you can t

i tt tech as per the much institution. again, we at least made some progress here in terms of at least verifying what the scope of your authority is. my time has run out. thank you, chairman. >> thank you. beingyou, secretary, for for being here. we worked a lot together and a lot of different issues. i am appalled at this judge. did what they did and what they put forward. basically providing a license to just allow the continued abuse. i appreciate the fact that you came into this particular position and, unfortunately, what you inherited from the last administration, which was really no structure, quite frankly, loan forgiveness. we are warranted, we are harmed, i think that is important. there is a duty and responsibility to do this diligently in the right way. i appreciate my colleague bringing that up. how abusive that this judge was. there are a few myths out there about the 2019 borrower defense regulation that i would like to discuss with you. general brown may have some answers. the first myth is that the 2019 ro

there are fewer institutions.g state system like the university like cal state which has 450,000 students, you got 10 campuses. >> but this implies i think to your first comment they would have to be some political mobilization. >> actually, in fairness, that's happening now. the number of states have said, you've got to eliminate remedial classes. we will give you money to build in remediation into your regular class.the way in which step away build in remediation into stat so you graduate at the end of the year he they are doing that in first returns are quite good. students lo and behold are capable of doing better work than the entrance exam would have them. they are also starting to look at high school grades rather than test scores as a measure of how well you do. there's always going to be some gaming of the system but i think now there is increasing political will at the state level to engage in those kinds of behaviors. you could do the same thing you can do versions of this. i haven't thought my way to w

>> they were focused on four-year institutions and by institution level. now we're down to the program level. >> what that would do would be improving any student at any field of study depending on how long it takes? >> to acknowledge there are many pathways to a successful adult life and we encourage students to look at all of their options and in fact look at them starting in middle school, frankly. >> your scorecard would protect more than the previous administration's did because you're including at the degree level and not the institution level and you're considering all programs, not just bacheloriat? >> correct. >> you've done more? >> i would argue that, yes. >> because if previously if i had been going for a two-year degree, i wouldn't have had that information available to me? >> that's correct. >> thank you. i appreciate it. also, has the information shared on the college scorecard been -- it has. can you highlight what changes have been made, what the additional educational pathways are available? i know you talked a little bit about that. but,

, tribal colleges, nd other minority serving institutions. it has unlocked great potential and great opportunity. these now that institutions work. we know that they are worth investing in. graduates of those minority serving institutions arn more and have more successful careers than people who do not graduate from those knowtutions and in fact we that for many of the institutions their outcomes for better than s are he outcomes for students who graduates who graduate from serving ty institutions. this is a powerful story and worth investing in. this programd that has been put in place and has been working. the 10-year re-authorization lapse september 30, 2019. we have an opportunity here this chamber to reinvest in what works and to at least rk done on close to on time. nd so, mr. speaker, i have other comments to make, particularly about tribal i leges, but at this point reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentlelady from north carolina. ms. adams: thank you, mr. speaker. i'd like to yield t

in fact we are the second best educated in the brookings institution. you've got a lot of well educated people of all races in baltimore, and then you have people as is the case in new york and america were challenged and beat our support in so many ways. they say only 30% of americans are going to college and graduating from college and so the point i am taking is that the notion of the empowered university should be empowered not only to look inward as a campus but the big question, what are we doing to help the children of the region, what are we doing to help people, to deal with that income inequality challenge that we face academics in the health disparity, so a part of what we are doing in the period is what others have worked to do when they've had challenges and that is to get into the city and the environment and get involved in the tutoring and working on policies and there is much more work to be done but what i can tell you is we are proud to be a part of baltimore. >> wha >> what was the reaction to the students, and i think primarily beca

it is a privilege to be invited to the hudson institute. it is my pleasure to be here to give you a very short presentation internment is a generation of separation and involuntary labor. the attempt that i will make to string together to look at the long-term implications for what we just heard about which is a long-term plan and with the long-term scheme. and that gave the overhaul for that internment strategy and then to give some specific insight but also what it does for reeducation interestingly the available data shows and publish in my paper that has clearly targeted we already know about academics and intellectual targets but on the ground specially between ages 30 through 59 with higher representation than what they are represented in articles lately there have been of those that are taken to internment sons, males why only three to 4 percent cracks in some regions of three.four between eight.4 percent that is a wide range to underline what we have been suspecting and thinking and believing we have here the internment and part of

so from the beginning we were an institution with people from different races. i've gone robbed the country and what we worked to improve on at umbc, we have -- this is a colorful point but i'll make it. we have desegregated now and we have students of all races and types institutions but with hat no entrily integrated and at this point in i life i have to tell the truth. when you go to most places you seem people with people like themselves there are times when it's great. for people to know people from their own cull dispore brown. we should appreciate self. the question we have to ask as we talk the empowered university and society, are we teaching our young people how to interact substantively with people different from themselves. and this is one of the strengths of umbc. we work really hard, both in the classroom and beyond the classroom, to do one thing. we say this to student from the beginning. get beyond your comfort zone. don't want to know people from your own state, from your own race, from your own country. you wasn't to in the people from all kind

these institutions that are supposed to help us are not the institutions that we can rely upon or trust. these institutions that are supposed to foster and support us in this time of freedom. 748-8200 if you lived in the east and central time zones. 8201 if you live in the mountain and pacific time zones and want to talk to notre dame professor about why liberalism failed. we can also take your social media comment that book tv for tefacebook, twitter and instagr. email is book tv at c-span.org. in your book you write that the narrowing of our political risings come i want you to explain that, has rendered us incapable of considering that what we face today is not a set of discrete problems solvable by liberal tools but a systemic challenge arising from pervasive invisible ideology. there is a lot packed into that sentence. >> did i write that? now it captures exactly what i am talking about. the narrowing of our political horizon, until recent history, the way we have reviewed the span of debate between a liberal right and a liberal left. whether that is libertarian economics against m

welcome to the hudson institute. the director for really jet - - religious freedom happy holidays and i also want to draw your attention to the crisis in china against the population there it is one of the worst with religious persecutions of our day or hour age it is a crisis of religious persecution and of human rights violations of epic proportions. all people should be concerned for china and the rising power that seems to make us a model not just within its borders but exporting the model it is a deep concern to me as someone who monitors religious freedom around the world. it is my deep privilege to introduce the ambassador at large from the state department sam brownback who will be giving the keynote address in just a moment ago i have known the ambassador for about 25 years when he was in the senate working together including suda sudan. so i am very pleased in this position and someone who has been empowered under this administration and through congress and really is the face of religious freedom as a prio

it's a privilege to be invited for the first time to the hudson institute.it's my pleasure to be and to give you a very short presentation. the attempts here that i'm going to make is to string together and tied together the three unprecedented aspect of beijing's -- and to look at the long-term implications. the first is the internment for reeducation, which we all know about and just heard about. the second is intergenerational separation which is a long-term plan, and the third is coercive labor which is also part of the long-term scheme. internment, besides the china cables and the xinjiang papers which gave the overall idea of the internment strategy, more localized information, gives us some very specific insight into how internment works and also what it does, what usually the purpose of the internment for reeducation. interestingly, the available data shows and this is published in my paper that came out on november 24, at the same time as the china cables, that the internment campaign for reeducation is clearly targeted influence in society. we alre

can print dollars is also still considered a safe haven because of the institutions which while he has tried to undermine them and he has arguably weakened checks and balances it still compared to other countries relatively secure and i love this analogy best house in the neighborhood where it's wrong that this is the best house in the neighborhood or just every other house just really sucks so bad that i think i think i want. to rephrase what they're saying is that the dollar is the tallest dwarf you know tallest dwarf is the tallest 12 but to go back to the house analogy best house of the neighborhood as a former american economic public official once said it's not the wolf at the door it's the termites in the foundation right so one might today the termites in the foundation. political america is becoming increasingly ungovernable we have a president who's just discussing who is attacking one of the most secure institutions in the federal system namely the u.s. federal reserve. we have a separation of powers that isn't delivering political decision making but most importantly of all

that will require all of our institutions to rethink themselves. it will require corporations to rethink themselves, the government, schools, universities, everybody the notion of moving human capital to be asimportant as financial capital , as important as natural capital, and rising, raising its status and rethinking the whole thing is what we need to do. that will require all of us rto rethink everything. >> two aspects. >> one, that dialogue also fits with all the research that's being done on aging and things like that. we did a lot of work with people in this people are never going to stop working so there's also an intellectual societal demand keeps learning and working and people are going to live in the mid-80s to 90s. they thdon't want to stop at 50. don talked about retirement as a second career so to match the education process or whatever the exact term that you use against that, that's something the commission needs to be thinking about which is how do you and reinvent careers. the second thing i think the way we should judge success

however, all those experiences shaped the other institutions. it's very special in the state of maryland because it is the only university founded at such a time that people of all races go to accompany them. from the beginning we were in institution of different races but this is what i saw around the country and what we worked to improve on. we have desegregated now in that we have students of all different races and institutions that we haven'but we haven't tr. for there were people like themselves and from their own account of course. when we talk about the university and society are we teaching our young people how to interact substantively from themselves and this is one of the strengths working hard in the classroom and beyond the classroom. from the own race or country you want to know all different backgrounds as human beings and that the world is so diverse. we don't talk enough about how we should go about coming to appreciate other people, caring about other people who are different from ourselves. this is a part of our success and w

think of the institutions that inspired you as a child much of the work that i do in the patent instituteoes tries to plant the seeds theoretical seeds could be the most fruitful the third and final point individuals matter with an old broken windows policy. now to raise theoretical glass of wine i'm standing right here three decades after the death of that of scare executive and raising a mental glass but also most of all raising a glass. thank you very much. [applause] >> we can now take a few questions. >> when i think of the great society two things come to mind when i think of the great society two things come to mind lbj and the riots in the street. and what i remember about the great society is at lbj was abandoned opposed to the vietnam war was the naacp. so what about the civil rights revolution? how could that not be in your book how do we great the great - - explain the great society. >> it is in my book and very extensively. this is just one chapter. looking at civil rights law the act which came before the voting rights act and revolutionary. following the howard university s

anti-institutional.> it's anti-institutional. it seeks to go around the institutions, directly to the people. and i marvel every day at the wisdom of the founding fathers and the american constitution. i just marvel at it every day. because they understood the need for stitutional intermediation between the desires of the people and the policies that came out. that's why they created representative government. and when you constantly go around those institutions, you do that at your own peril. >> so, one of the institutions that came out of the international world order and the post-cold war order and the pre-cold war order was nato. >> yes. >> and you write in the book that the nato alliance now finds itself ill-adapted for the problems of the 21st century. you also say that... now, some might read that to say that you're suggesting that nato is obsolete. >> i'm suggesting, and we're suggesting, philip and i, that maybe renovation is -- if you have a wonderful historic building, you don't want to tear i

a part of what we were doing during that period is what other institutions have worked to do. to get into the city and the environment and tutoring and those policies to make a difference. there's much more work to be done. but i can tell you we are proud to be a part of baltimore and that we stand by. >> what was the reaction? and they say primarily because students are from west baltimore or western china. what do you see among the students if they have an adopted backyard? >> people try to understand the issue of having town hall meetings and with that curriculum that looks at issues of poverty and race and discrimination and to reshape the thinking with the social sciences on the arts and we are a part of the national movement to look at these challenges that we face in our society and cities is not one city or a couple these are problems around the country. we know this. so part of our solution has been to infuse these challenges so when will they be a lawyer or teacher scientist of that devastating impact of poverty. >> are rethinking those narratives are blaming those p

pose ann taylor for each of those categories of institutions.it is not a dramatic reduction in still all those institutions have much more liquidity than before the crisis and i don't think -- the largest institution still has every bit of coverage under the ocr. >> i hope we don't have to revisit in the great recession and remind you of your comments instead of strengthening we actually weaken them. >> thank you mr. chairman, mr. hood it's great to see somebody from my neck of the woods in north carolina i want to thank you for the work you've done on affordable housing long before you got on your post it's a work you did for your community that made me proud to have you the board of governors and you're given back to the great educational institution. i've a picture with you but i'd be proud to have another one. mr., i want to thank you for the work and progress we are making, it will free up almost $50 billion in capital, a long time coming. somebody will have to work hard to make a partisan issue that something under democrat republican a mi
