st andrews' principal, professor sally mapstone, told us she'd "never been more confident" st andrewsr—based violence. she said it was the first university in scotland to "introduce a compulsory consent module" for all students. she said if mistakes are made, the university would "learn from it", but the claims put by the bbc of poor case—handling are "without foundation". following in the footsteps of st andrews survivors, similar social media accounts about campus assaults appeared at universities across scotland. they're a sobering reminder of the scale of the problem across the country. professor lesley mcmillan researches sexual violence at universities. is there an acceptance across all institutions as to the real scale of this problem? no, i don't think there's an acceptance across all institutions. i think some institutions have accepted it and are taking active steps to deal with it. universities are concerned to some degree about institutional reputation. and maybe people haven't been so ready to want to talk about it or acknowledge it because of, maybe, fears or concerns ar

st. andrews, he papers in a subcommittee that the u.k.nment sage group and tweeted the government is getting into an even deeper hole of its own making over self-isolation. we spoke to him earlier and i asked him why. >> first of all, the reason we have all of these problems with people self-isolating, so many people are being infected, 50,000 infections a day. the health minister admitted that would go up to 100,0 and some estimates have suggested it would go as high as 200,000. that's the reason why people are having to self-isolate. if the government gives the message that it's n concerned about that level of infections and does nothing to bring the infections down, number one, people will continue to get pinged to self-ite and number two, they'll be asking themselves well why should i if infection doesn't matter. there is a fundamental flaw in contradiction he at the heart of what the government is doing. ros: but actually the position of the government today on self-isolation is not different than the position its held for a good whi

stephen reicher, a professor of social psychology at the university of st andrews, explains why people'seve it's all over and that infections don't matter and increase our contacts back to the level they were pre—pandemic, then it's pretty clear and pretty obvious that actually, we would be in deep trouble. so we need to be positive, we need to be optimistic, we need to enjoy the outdoors in the summer — but at the same time, we mustn't be complacent and pretend that this pandemic has gone away. because it hasn't. renewable energy could play a crucial role in the uk's attempt to reach net zero. wind is providing more and more of our electricity, but what about energy from our waters? experts say that we need to use all forms of electricity generation if that target is to be reached and are calling for government support to help the tidal industry develop commercially. it comes as what's being described as the most powerful tidal turbine device in the world has connected to the grid in orkney, an archipelago off the northeastern coast of scotland. lorna gordon has been to take a look. in

st. andrews presbyterian college had a long legacy of providing high-quality education. alumni who live in my district have expressed fear that its nonprofit legacy is threatened by a for-profit college who has donated enormous amount of money to the school and is paid to be a consultant. there appears to be a well-founded fear the influence of this donor has changed the quality of the education and the mission. we need the department to take steps to depart -- to protect students and taxpayers when for-profit universities convert to nonprofits or exert control by conversion or other means. he knew tell me what steps the department can take to ensure seen angers and other institutions continue to operate as bona fide nonprofits? sec. cardona: for-profit colleges should not be allowed to masquerade as nonprofit institutions if they are not complying with federal laws. i look forward to having my team reach out to you to communicate with you what steps we are going to make -- steps we are going to take. >> with my remaining time, i want to note how pleased i am the departm

just it was because of andrew that i found st. back. mike, somebody's gotta take care of this kid. oh yeah. oh whopping. in small town, people know each other and pretty close knit community. i would say there's not a lot of crime. you know, that was a lot of the cell, you know, to mom and dad bringing their, their, their, their young adults to their campus. this is a brand new experience for a lot of them treating. i president john richmond and i want to welcome you for the north dakota state college of science. we hope that the heart and soul of washington is the north dakota state college of science. it is where north dakota and the region come shopping for trade and tech. it is this melting pot of ranchers, of farmers, you've got nurses, you've got dental, you've got diesel mechanics, you've got electricians. i mean, you can come out and make a very good living. right away, but then there was the 99.8 or some crazy big job placement afterwards and that really caught my attention. so looks like a good place to go on like wow, as where you meet your friends around forever. this i
