the only reason those ohio universities did that is because we went to the legislature. and i will say that we could have 2,000 or 3,000 universities on to this if the republican party would wake up and put this reform on their agenda. every republican party, every state party should have an academic bill of rights in its platform and put the pressure on. if that happens, there are good people in the university's, they will do the right thing. our greatest success was in the state of pennsylvania where a courageous young legislator who was an army ranger, give armstrong, in the legislature behind an economic bill of rights. and we had thanks to a friend in this state goat support of the speaker of the house and pennsylvania but the republicans did not have the stomach to pass a resolution and that is because of a power of the teacher unions with their allies in the local and statewide media. that is just a political fact. so what they came up with turned out to be much better idea which was to create a committee to look at the academic freedom principles of the state. our

of what is called the modern research university. and the modern research university and where we get our precepts of academic freedom comes from the development. the modern research university conceived itself and promoted itself as representing the scientific method. so that when there was matters of the opinion at stake, when you have a controversial issues, the procedure would be by scientific methods. it would be the attitude that was skeptical towards received doctrines and received truth. including the religious troops. yale, which was a school for ministers, became skeptical towards religion and everything else. and actually, william f. buckley wrote a famous book called "god and men at yale" protesting the yale had made a transition without a formal divorce from it's founding or clearing it with the alumni and the people that had contributed to and built it. the academic freedom provisions, which were created by the american association of university professors stipulate that where there are matters of controversy and everyth

and the universities, the 17 major state universities came to us and said, will you withdraw the legislation if we implement the american councils. so we said yeah. and i will tell you -- there are two other universities i'm going to talk about in the state of pennsylvania, where we made even more progress. but the only reason that those ohio university said that if the cause we went to the legislatures. and i will say, they would not be 15, but we could have 2000 or 3000 universities sign on to this that the republican party would wake up in the conservative establishment and put this reform on their agenda. every republican party, every state party should have an academic illustrates and its platform and put the pressure on. if that happens, the universities, there are good people in the universities and they will do the right thing. our greatest successes in the state of pennsylvania, where a courageous young legislature, who was an army ranger in mogadishu gave armstrong agreed to sponsor a bill in the legislature behind the academic elaborates. and we had, thanks to a friend in this sta

americans and the canadians and the australians but the universities in those emerging countries to which are investing very heavily i think one of the problems in russia is that there isn't enough sustained investment in the higher education sector particularly those are the top class universities the well known the new national research universe investment as you mention is one of the factors that also also rated yes well we now may add a chance to see if muscovites think that there are enough skilled professionals in their country spotlights eladio on that as the details of it. i there today i'll try to find out if muscovites think that there are more than enough people in this country what had occasioned on the contrary there's a shortage of them as well as the i think there's a shortage of people with higher education in our country now it's very difficult today to get a higher education in russia because people have to pay for it it's very expensive and not everybody can afford this every one knows that i think there are plenty of people with hig

they also measure how many nobel prize winners have been educated at the university or especially the faculty and they add these all up and that's where moscow state university came out so it's nobody's fault since there's so you think good this is fair this is fair it's transparent it's objective . but it measures only one small aspect of what a university does russian universities i find with the place they occupy in world rankings and question the criteria used by western rating agencies spotlights to me that i will have more. novice sullivan game this year's nobel prize winners both graduated from the moscow institute of physics and technology but you want to find it on the list the world's top universities russia's higher education officials going the country is under represented in international university rankings it's usually only the moscow state university which makes it through to the top one hundred and then it's down at the bottom up illest the major russian university has begun question and the criteria used for the ratings it says the data used in the surveys is not alw

rankings it's usually only the moscow state university which makes it through to the top one hundred and then it's down at the bottom of the list the major russian university has begun questioning the criteria used for the ratings it says the data used in the surveys is not always reliable numbers that it can go we pointed out a mistake one of the region agencies and after it had been corrected we were up fifty points because of just one mistake which means there must be always the right to go for a university to lodge an appeal of living near the moscow state universities doing a number of unique things it launches satellites into outer space and possesses a supercomputer able to make five hundred trillion operations a second but it's quite different things which are taken into account when compiling during games like the number of nodes about laureates on the university board or the number of publications unscientific jools with the moscow state university schooling food isn't a flexible and objective system of brain gain if russian graduates are welcome to do post-grad

know the flow university and myself reach a settlement this is the whole universe the state. today we are free to the resolution of our dispute with professor finkelstein. as a part of that resolution he has agreed to resign effective immediately. professor finkelstein is a prolific scholar and an outstanding teacher the university thanks him thank you thank you thank you the university thanks him for his contributions and his service. i know a great deal about the finkelstein tenure case because the paul asked me to write a letter on finkelstein which i did and then i followed the case very closely from start to finish and i think this is an open and shut case i think that finkelstein should have gotten tenure he's not a teacher he's a propagandist he's not a scholar he simply writes screeds the scandal was that paul university ever appointed him in the first place they appointed him because hard left professors who didn't care at all about his lack of scholarship just like his ideological. radicalism and lowered the standards to appoint him so it was a good decision of a de

the industrialized world. why? do we give universities are more funds? no. mr. speaker, can he tell the house what is the percentage cut to the university teaching grant? >> i can certainly confirm that she and her party also have plans to make massive cuts in the department's budget that will affect higher education. here are the facts. every single graduate under our feet will pay less per month than they do under the scheme we inherited from labor. the bottom 25% of earners will pay much less in their contributions to a university education than they do at the moment. half-time students will pay no upfront fees and not a single student will pay a penny of up- front fees whatsoever. it is a fair and progressive solution to a very debacle problem. >> it looks as though he has been taking lessons from the prime minister on how not to answer the question. i asked him about the cuts to the teaching grant. the truth is, it is a staggering 80%. no wonder he is ducking the question. the real reason he is hiking up these is because he is pulling the plug on public fund

should make a contribution for the costs of that university education. the question is how do you do it? do you do it fairly? do you do it in a progressive way? the proposals we have put forward -- those that earn the most will pay much less than they do. those that earn the most will pay a subsidy to allow people from poor backgrounds to go to university, and will for the first time end the discrimination against the 40% of people that are part time students in our university so shamefully treated by our government. >> none of us agree with tuition fees of 9,000 pounds. mr. speaker, this is not about the deficit. the chancellor says it's their wish by 2015, when this new system will hardly have begun. this is not about the deficit. this is about him going along with a plan to shut the cost of higher education on students and their families. mr. speaker, we all know what it's like. you meet up with a dodgey bloke and you do things that you regret. [laughter] >> let's remember the labour party's record against tuition fees in 2007, introduced a few month

the universe just blasted itself into existence. i don't deny what steven hawking has said, i don't endorse it. i haven't read the book, but i read others and i respect him, but i can tell you this. what is lacking is that spirit skepticism that they bring to religious claims and that lapses absurdly with scientific claims, surely we should have the sophistication to wonder if any, any separation of the form that the universe just blasted itself into existence, a theory no one can understand and it's never been completed or tested in any laboratory on the phase of the earth. third, and final point of rebuttal, the fact that the earth, our home, is a small part of the physical universe does not mean it does not mean it is not the center of the universe. that is a non seq. that. no one would argue that the doctrine of home is where the heart lies is rendered false by distance. we should be very careful about making these claims. i agree that the universe is big, makes things, -- amazing things, and there's point of continue newty and t

what you're seeing is we're trying to fund the university at 2007-2008 levels. ith all of the costs of increases. >> reporter: when i talk to people they say the interesting way it's structured. for example, about half of the students at uc don't even pay tuition, right? >> that's about right, yes. >> reporter: because their families make less than $80,000 a year. but over 80 towards you, then $80,000, you get hit with this. this is a middle class hit not just the wealthy. these are people who went to uc, they are a teacher and cop in the family and you're trying to send your kid to uc. you're pricing them out. >> you're honing in on the exact argument and that's the reason why i voted no against this increase. i was one. few regents who did so not because i don't support the university and i don't believe in this administration. i do. i think they are doing all the right things but this fee increase was a division proportionate hit on working families. those families who make $80,000 a year or more. >> reporter: okay. at the same time, there's also this is uc on
