[ applause ] >> i guess it isn't holiday break. everyone is here. it's great to be with all of you today. >> i want to welcome all of the people here who have come from all over the place to report this important news. i would like to single out some people here that i think are quite special. the michigan faithful will always stop to shake hands and thank them for all they've done over the years for this great university. let me do that as well as they unselfishly help me in thinking through this coaching transition. all of these gentlemen coached under the late great glen e. and with a simple phone call, we have bo's wife here who made a huge effort through holiday break and snowstorms in denver to join in this celebration today. thank you. [ applause ] >> we also have here today mish regents from michigan all of whom who have been so helpful in the process we constructed that resulted in this

of the purpose for which this universe exists. means we are all at the center of this universe. with cobwebs in a scene modes and the rest of the universe. we are all star stuff. maybe it is equally true to say that the stars are also us. the existence of all of these other self aware entities raises an interesting challenge to each of us. are we willing to accept the presence of some other in the universe even as we are aware of the presence of god are we willing to accept that maybe there's somebody else that god cares about, too. was also aware of god. put it another way. we are people with intelligence. but intelligence only makes sense if there is someone else to share that intelligence. we only grow and stretch ourselves when we are challenged to relate to others. the ability to be self-aware and the will to act on that awareness, the basic definition of the soul into lies and maybe it even demands the existence of another entity in this universe and also self-aware whom we can choose to love or choose to ignore. that's why i

in the case of the university of houston, was the next level? i did study in national databases to see exactly where university of houston is. and i also studied every possible state to see the kinds of measures. i could see a lot of potential. i decided i really need to hear from the community. we doled out a plan called the 100 day plan. the first hundred days, i will be out everywhere i can be, and also to come and give me my charge. tell me what you want to see happen at the university of houston. i had over 12,000 suggestions. idea was they were absolutely hungry for the university of houston to become a nationally competitive research university. we have done a lot of analysis on that. what is it we need to do? and it think it is totally possible for the university of houston to become a top-tier public research university that offers a top-tier learning environment. to do that, it will take a whole community. saying, i heard you. this is what you said. this is the responsibility to make it that greater university. which means a philosophy

the university president says that effort will continue. those that work with sexual assault victims worry about the fallout from the discredited story. >> it caused a lot of people to realise what kind of problem sexual assault is on campuses and allowed a lot of women who experienced the same situations to come forward. it may have a cooling effect on the same women coming forward. that is the concern whether women will feel reluctant to come forward with their stories. "rolling stone" told us that they are not - they are not retracting their entire story. they talked about another alleged assault on amp us. -- campus, but they are taking another look at the story told by jackie. >> tell me about what the university is saying about all of this. in the article the author says that the university was hesitant to speak with her at first. now that all this has happened, and the article expressed a degree of reticence around the truth of this story, what is the university saying? >> well, the university said that it is proceeding as it decided

the head of michigan state. she talked about her university's perspective. let's get some of her perspective and then you can comment on it. >> we have scholarship student athletes who are both men and woman who's grad race rates are the same as our student body. obviously there are a few who come to the united states who leave a bit early to pursue their athletic interests, but we see all of our students no matter their athletic skills as athletes second and provide academic support for them to be successful. we also had programs to ensure that student athletes return to graduate and stay connected with us. two examples currently might be a player who isinterests, but we see all of our students no matter their athletic skills as athletes playing hockey for the detroit red wings who keeps emailing me he's within six credits of getting heu degree. and look at a person like steve smith who is a commentator for -- on basketball making a terrific income after his professional playing career who is finishing his degree and stayed connected to michigan state and ro

it brings professionalism in the place of amateur university investigations. it eludes the built in conflict of interest in a university that wants the sexual assault problem minimized or hushed and it sends an important societal signal when after a rape, the crime scene has police tape up and evidence vans and officers taking statements, a signal that what happened was serious. at its best, law enforcement response is victim centered and well coordinated with both medical, mental health and advocacy professionals. when a rape victim is steered away from law enforcement, based on uninformed choices about proceeding, or because the relationship between the university and law enforcement is so weak that contacting law enforcement is a step into a dark unknown, and the victim later loses the chance for justice, she has been victimized all over again. the student has the right to know that delays in opening an investigation and collecting evidence could mean the disappearance of evidence all together and could open up devastating questioning by a future defense att

you have to teach your daughters why is it just the university's problem? >> host: professor, reaction? >> guest: i have several reactions. one is of course i will point back to the data if you look at the fraternity meant they are three times more likely to commit sexual violence than are other men on the college campus. part of that is they tend to be the cultures where some of them tend to be in the cultures they tend to have support from their peers to act in ways that are violent towards women or they take advantage of them and i think that you know the caller mentioned the possibility of a woman being drug. the number one date rape drug in the united united states as i'll call. and one of the things that we know about perpetrators for studying them for many many years is that they tend to use alcohol to lower a woman's defenses. so that she is unable to physically resist the advances of a man. and so i think that that caller and certainly many others need to be very careful about their own behavior if they are around women that they wish to have immine

join me in welcoming jim to his first press conference as the family head coach of the university of michigan jim harbaugh. >> jim hard -- harbaugh's homecoming is official, the 20th head coach of the winningest college program in history. he flames his raspy voice on the show we are on the side lines and says it is a dream come true. >> to come back as football coach as the university of michigan...i have to say i have thought about that, dreamed about it since i was a young had at nine or ten. >> he was a star quaterback in the 80's if michigan coming in third in the heisman trophy race during the senior season. his dad, jack was assistant coach during the 70's for the womanç reasons. he was contacted by the university in the last couple of weeks and accepted the job yesterday. >> something that i have dreamed about. i felt it was time to live. susan and i felt like i made with my heart for myself and my family. >> there was a last question from the crud: who has it better than us? >> oh, buddy! >> the interim athletic director says the deal is worth more than $35 million with $2 m

land grant university time because we have the high-quality universities and theyare underfunded and it's difficult and therefore it's on the backs of the out-of-state students. >> guest: this is the most important issue from the taxpayer to the student and family so instead of taxes we have student debt and of course not because they want something for nothing. it's what happens to them as taxpayers. this is the dilemma also where you live with a very fine public university. they have access to what we paid for. i would argue and question the idea that there are any states that are supporting the state universities in the extent that they should. look at the diversity of california. it is downsizing in the basic tuition and the other state infrastructures especially large structures that are very capital intensive. that's why we are at the elite schools. >> guest: it is a crazy stampede tickets to the schools as long as they can provide so that they come from the somewhat advantaged background has access to this education which for me is a moral value i think. sha

i do not understand the sensitivities that universities campus.ut rape on i think a crime of rape off onpus or crime of rape campus ought to be treated the same way and the sooner it is treated the same way the sooner that the message is going to get out that you cannot get away with something on a campus that you could not get away with someplace else. and i hope that there is a real effort in the next congress to work on this bill very seriously and move it along. and i appreciate the remarks of chairman. it would be things that would associate myself with at this point. but i think it is high time crime is ae that a crime where ever is committed and treated the same way and when it is treated universally the same way, we will have less rape on campuses. thank you. >> thank you, senator. i think it is significant that the incoming chairman of the andittee made that point made that statement. so i thank you, sir. i turn now to senator schumer. >> i will be brief. you, mr. thank chairman, for hosting this hearing. my colleagues for being here. i want to thank two of my dearest friends

many of whom are doing it the right way, are going to graduate, and are going to give back to the universities for the next 50 to 60 years and those communities. so there are absolutely -- are there problems in college sports? you bet. but paying athletes is not the way to solve them. >> let's go right down the line. lenny? >> well, i would agree conceptually with christine. she speaks of paying athletes, but it depends on what you mean by paying them. i look at the relationship and kind of just came to my mind as more a benefactor/beneficiary. nevertheless, when you look at the amounts of dollars that are coming in based on the exploits of the student athlete, you know, should there be some balance in the equities? absolutely. but are they in the form of salary? should the whole relationship be in the form of terms, wages, conditions, and benefits which seem to inure more to the idea of employee as opposed to beneficiary, then i would say no, that we need to take a look at how we can balance those equities without making it a pure employer/employee relationship. i don't know if people are awa

she talked about the university's perspective on student athletes. t's get her perspective and then you can comment. >> we have student athletes who are both men and women whose graduation rates are as a whole about the same as our student body. obviously there are a few individuals who come to the university who leave a bit early to pursue their athletic interests. but we see all of our students no matter their athletic skills as students first and athletes second for them to be successful. we also have programs to ensure that student athletes returned to graduate and stay connected with us. two examples are currently might be an advocate or playing hockey for the detroit red wings who keeps e-mailing me that he is within six credits of getting his degree to cause he made that possible. you can look at a person like steve smith who is a commentator for basketball making a traffic income after his professional playing career and who has finished his degree and stay connected as the role model for almost every student athletes that we have. so the medi

and the university is fueled partly around football. all that said, it's hard to look at all this as a bit crazy. the problem is to pull out of this arms race unilateral is the same thing. to pull out unilaterally you're going to lose. the question is when can we all ban together and say enough is enough and try to scale it all back? it would take all of them together not one little to put that off. in the meantime the arms race is alive and well. >> thank you for joining us. >> aloha, my end. >> aloha. it is now time to check in with one of the families that we've been tracking in america's middle class rebuilding the dream. we get an update of a single mother and struggling gift shop owner. she moved her location earlier this year in attempts to boost the bottom line. so far she has seen less foot traffic than she expected. black friday is the beginning that retailers rely on. >> i won't have any days off until after christmas. i'm opened sunday and i hope to kick off the season starting tomorrow. black friday and i'm excited and nervo

when the police department and the university are working together on a case, i'm able to accompany a victim through the entire criminal justice process. i have seen first hand the improvements through victim care our programs bring. before you have options and campus choice there was very little coordination between law enforcement and our university. but now, at sou, 786% of the cases coming through confidential advising that involve a crime have interaction with law enforcement. there are a number of reasons for this increase in our model --a victim may enter either system and expect to get reliable information about both the criminal justice and administrative processes and neither will report to the other without the permission of the victim. however, either entity might contact the other to relay information or ask hypothetical questions that could benefit the understanding and choices of a victim. most importantly, both campus choice and you have options require that anyone interviewing victim is trained in trauma informed interviewing techniques. trauma informed interviewing,

what's the latest? university'sistraction to the board. his resignation is effective immediately and it was accepted today. cosby has been a board member at temple since 1982 and in recent weeks at least four women have come forward to say cosby assaulted them decades ago. the 77-year-old philadelphia native has not been criminally charged for any of those allegations. in a statement cosby says, i have always been proud of my association with temple university. i've always wanted to do what would be in the best interest of the university and its students. as a result i've tendered my resignation from temple university board of trustees. just recently, the university of massachusetts at amherst, formally severed ties with cosby. nbc 10's george spencer is en route to temple's campus to get reaction on this story. count on nbc 10 news for i8<ñups as this developing story continues. for now live in the digital operations center, i'm mitch blocker, nbc 10 news. >>> now your nbc 10 first alert weather.

and i should note i'm a graduate of the university of virginia. en the story first broke, i was suspicious of it, but it's been a half century since i was down there, things may have changed an awful lot since i was there. but the story started falling apart a week ago. i might also note that on the grounds of the university, we always called the campus the grounds down there, the reaction hasn't been so far as i can see much better. the student newspaper which used to have a great reputation, the cavalier daily, went days on end, almost a week without noticing that the story was falling apart. and finally when "rolling stone" came out with its recognition that the story was badly flawed last friday, finally then the cavalier daily came out -- reported on that and then had sappy editorials over the weekend saying we must not be distracted from this by our determination to deal with -- they didn't call it an epidemic of rape but that's the implication. it has yet to be shown that there's an epidemic of rape on the campus of the university of virgini

university. i have always wanted to do what would be in the best interest of the university and its student. as a result, i have tendered my resignation from the temple university board of trustees. cosby has never faced criminal charges and he has denied all of the allegations. but the move further complicates how how student we talk to about the scandal and cosby himself. >> when everything was coming out i was just like that's not true, can't be, but then seeing him resign from temple and everything, now i'm just like oh, is this true? >> understandable he would have to resign from temple. you know, bring out the attention for the university. >> according to terrible's website, cosby was member of the board every trustees for academics. he had served on the board for 32 years, for its part temple released a statement saying the board every trustees accepts doctor cosby's resignation from the board, and thanks him for his service to the university. a change.org petition drew more than a thousand signatures, urging tell tonight cut ties with cosby, the petition was created last week by 2005

we will still work closely with the university who is sitting right here. this is the process you can expect if you go through this on campus. you also have the option to tell me some basic information. i don't even have to use your name. so i think all of those options and the victim being in the drivers seat and i believe that with that kind of scenario, and i understand understand why many more victims choose to go forward because they do feel that they are in charge and have choices and they also feel like we keep hearing again and again how victims feel this timeframe is being thrown at them. as you stated, sen., it is another kind of out of control lack of consent and re-victimization in re- victimization in a sense. when we say a certain thing is not working, we think it is because it is not working in collaboration with all of the system

she posed a series of questions that the university is attempts to address. discussions since the story broke. does the university do everything possible to protect every student and whether they have done enough to support survivors and encourage reporting. sullivan announced what sounds like the outline of an action plan and the first mostly modest steps to address the issue. including finding ways to reduce underage drinking and rooting out date rape drugs on campus. and fraternities to provide greater safety and hiring additional trauma counselors for the women's center and a police substation on campus. going forward with a planned training program for sexual assaults. and the survey in the spring to determine how often students experience sexual abuse on campus. the explanation for the cancelling the appearance the press club is focusing on the uva community. it is clear with the police investigation into the alleged gang rape still going on, freewheeling exchange with the media could come back to haunt the university and lawyers. christine. >>> thank y
