apprey, given the differences between the comprehensive university and the flagship university, as well as any other important differences to take into account. >> thank you, commissioner. for the next three and half hours, i will be happy to answer your question. i think to step above the specific program, what really i think is at stake here for students who come from the disparate sectors and fabrics of society is how do we make them be prepared, feel welcomed and challenged and supported, all at the same time. the various programs, such as the summer bridge program or the early start program. let's take the san bernardino campus in inland southern california has a high number of pell eligible students. a lot of poor kids. this upcoming summer, president morales has as a requirement all incoming students need to be in residence for two weeks on campus before the start of the fall term. there are dollars associated with that. the idea being during those two weeks, the students who may come feeling that they can't succeed will end up leaving knowing that they will succeed. they know wh

that for a long time had the most universal access. the strongest articulation agreements. 75% of latino students and 75 pblgt of african-american students who begin don't transfer or don't earn the associate's degree after six years. and that's very problematic. >> what's interesting to me because the search for these kinds of answers, i think that commissioner was sort of talking about the fact that you have ul these different things in play. i mean education is a wholistic endeavor. starting from you know, you're trying to make up for deficiencies that may have happened in k through 12. do you do it at a community college level? do you do it through supplemental services at the college level? part pof what you're telling me is maybe community colleges aren't the secondary lifeboat that they could be or should be. or maybe they should be be they're not resourced correctly and they're not staffed correctly. they're not programmed in the right way. they become this generic catch-all for a lot of different things that may or may not real

campuses, and the university of california berkley, and did a post-doc at the university of michigan. well, here i am. i'm proud to have had the opportunity to public higher education to be lifted and launched into an interesting and consequential life. in part of my support came from the federal government in what was then called the national defense student loan. thank you very much. >> thank you dr. white, mr. hogan? >> thank you, mr. chairman members of the commission -- it's off? thank you. i'm not chancellor brit curwin, but unfortunately due to a family illness, he had to tend to his wife this morning. i'm pjhogan, i'm happy to be here today e. by way of background, the university system of maryland comprises 12 institutions three research universities three historically black institutions, four traditional comprehensives two regional higher education centers, and one virtual university. we are, i believe, a microcosm of higher education in the united states in a very small geographic state. in that vain, we experience and have a lot of takes on programs i'm going t

the. i will call it outer space or universe of space. is anything scientists even think about our study are speculate about or is it of electors to scientists? >> there are some images that could be given and the experimental evidence seems to point to one answer. the best we have is that you shouldn't ask about outside because the universe as far as we know it is infinite. there isn't any outside. that matter that we see within a few billion light-years of earth continues beyond that out to infinity. and it's all expanding it's not expanding from any center but the expansion does not mean like what would happen in this room if anyone started running away from a central point and maybe expand out into the parking lot. the expansion, you can imagine a universe filled with, not with people but with galaxies and they are all rushing away from each other. there is no center and there is no outside. the expansion of the universe just if it means every galaxies getting further away from every other. that's all that means. it doesn't mean they'r

tell us about the mysteries of the universe? welcome to our viewers on public television in america and around the globe. fifa's top official, chuck blazer, has admitted to taking bribes and hosting two world cups including south africa in 2010. his admission was made in 20 13 but the court papers were released today. nick bryant has the latest from new york. nick: they are looking into how fifa awarded the world cup to russia and qatar. chuck blazer is in the middle of the investigation. >> i think fifa is doing a really great job. when we look back in 10 or 20 years, i'm proud of our accomplishments. nick: this businessman with a love for parents have been singing -- and they love for parrots has been singing like a canary. native incident is in new york journalist who broke the chuck blazer story. >> each agency found him on the streets in new york and told him they would put him in handcuffs they are on the spot, or they could cooperate. nick: these are the court documents detailing his guilty plea in 2013. he says he and oth

the university of chicago had the metal laboratory where a lot of the basic work on plutonium was done. and then there were universities all over the united states clom yashgs michigan, iowa state berkeley at california and so on. all of which participated in various ways in the manhattan project. it was a massive undertaking, $2.2 billion which was a tremendous amount of money during the war years. not so much today, of course. and the money was allocated without the knowledge of congress. and even vice president truman didn't know about it. so it was conducted in secret. there were secret cities here at oakridge. they had to build a secret city that ultimately ended up housing 7 a,000 or people. you couldn't get in couldn't get out without going through security. we were fearful that the germans would get access to our technology. and so it was obvious that all this had to be done in secret. and it was. people in the vicinities didn't know what was going on. it was a super secret project. if you were hired here and worked on the project, you only knew what your job was. you weren't i

>> the student can choose to save the file or send it to the university. >> it is a touchy suggest. for somebody to do it anonymously or not having to interact with other people is a good option. >> the site has a matching system if the victim knows their uhing tayer. >> they can put an identifying telephone number or name or e-mailing into the system. if it is matched by somebody else it automatically goes to the university and we can stop repeat offenders. the match would launch an investigation. in san francisco, abc7 news. >> we have new details tonight on a surgical marathon that just ended in san francisco. it involved 18 patients and 9 kidney transplants. doctors say everyone is doing well. california pacific medical center provided this video of one of the daughters. the nine donors include five husband and wife pairs. >>> the excitement over the nba finals is spreading feverishly. >> the warriors are getting lots of love from the bay area. just about everywhere you look the blue and gold will be flying high and we even noticed an agent being included. you may want to keep an

students now are being stream lined through the university. this is our opinion on it. we also feel the new policy is discriminatary towards disabled students and low income because of the large number of students of affects. right now the government spends between 3 and 9% on education yet 5-6% on the military. federal education expenses account 3- 5 trillion in 2012. for 2 years, a little bit of history, for 2 years students were held from transferring to the university at the city college level because of impacted limits in the college as well as programs. you were forced to remain at city college for 1-2 years. disabled students also historically have to take more remedial courses. when you transfer from city college to university you are required to take classes over again. that is disabled students having more units. that's where we are running into a problem. no one is speaking out against this except for the disabled students organizations across the college campuses. then the big question is what happens to disabled students in higher education. where does the e

pretty much all the cases where we see states trying to force universities to allow this policy. the students, faculty and law enforcement think it is a bad idea. fundamentally we are goingnot going to shoot out of problems on campus. there are better ways to act and prevent it happening, than giving students guns and having them shoot it out. >> when you hear antonio say she wants the right to do so. she will go to night classes, and wants the opportunity, if she wants to defend her life, to have the chance to do it. what is wrong with that. >> i don't think necessarily that having a gun is the only way to defend yourself. i think there's more options out there. fundamentally, having experienced someone coming into a classroom with a gun to shoot you, i didn't understand what was happening until i was shot. i didn't think in my case it would have made sense, i think it made it more difficult. i think when you think about the hypothetical situations, i can thing about options. we have to look at not just instances that happened on campuses that are rare. most students are off camp

in 2011, an appeals court sided with the university. o years later the supreme court heard the case and sent it back to the appeals court to study the issue more closely. in 2014, the lower court sided with the college again. now the case is back at the supreme court. supporters of affirmative action say the practice is still needed to promote diversity on campuses. >> i think the diversity of races add to the college experience. i think college experience is not all about the books. >> opponents argue that giving an extra boost to historically disadvantaged minority is a kind of reverse discrimination. >> i didn't do this for recognition. i just wanted to stand up and say this isn't right because it isn't. i hope by doing this, other students in years to come won't have to worry about the collar of their skin when applying to college. >> affirmative reaction has with stood actions by the supreme court by close votes. howard university and university of carolina at chapel hill are facing lawsuits. erika, those lawsuits allege that the co

and many other private universities do the same. many so-called elite universities, they are available. in spite of all this some people still need money. so you can borrow money. we hear a lot about student loans. our taxpayers generous enough, is borrowing for college a good investment. are students borrowing too much? one way to answer this question is to compare student loans to automobile loans. when i was 25 years old, i bought my first car. and i had to get an auto loan. i was outraged that the bank made my father cosign the loan because i had no assets and no credit rating. they took my car as collateral and said i had to pay it back in three years. compare that to your student loan today. taxpayers will loan you up to $6,000 a year. that's in addition to the pell grant you don't have to pay back. your credit rating doesn't matter. your interest rate is 4.25% for this year. at a fixed rate. you may pay the loan back using no more than 10% of your disposal income. if it's not paid back after 20 years, it's forgiven. is your s

joining us is students for concealed weapons, a graduate student at the university of texas. ew york is colin, a senior policy advocate of every town for gun safety. he survived the 2006 virgin tech shooting that took 32 lives. welcome to the programme. antonia antonia, why do you need a gun on campus? >> i think it comes down to the fact that it's self-defence that we have the right to defend ourselves as college students on campus. as we see about campus sexual assault and being a woman, i'm a graduate student, and most of my classes are at night. i feel it's my right to protect myself and having a whistle and, you know at your head and having a cell phone with 911 on the other hand is not enough to protect me from an attacker. >> would you be able to quickly obtain your handgun and have it ready to fire in order to defend yourself. is that something that is consistent with the nature of attacks in a place like a college campus. >> well we can, you know look at amanda collins story in 2006, and the university of nevada she was a licensed holder. she did not bring her conceal

the time. prof. chatelain: university of virginia, it has been a rough year. the question about, i think this is why i don't like millennial bashing. people who do it our meet and -- mean and dumb. one of the things that we see throughout these different campus communities is a smart and very transparent way of thinking about these issues. one of the reasons why black lives matter and the ferguson movement has distinguished itself historically is that it didn't fall into this trap of this person was a bad victim and we are going to look for a good victim. there is a consistency of the question. right? if we say black lives matter to we have to bracket which lives? it does not matter peace smoked weed and listen to rap music. the question of the person is about being treated with a level of respect. >> he was arrested by the alcohol abt and they said he was arrested for having a fake id. even in the reports, if he did have this fake id -- this never would happen. prof. chatelain: no id has been recovered. from what i understand there is , no fake id or there mig

on the university campuses, it. on the university campuses, it's actually not that difficult. people who are giving money to them, the alumni who are giving money need to inform themselves about what is happening and they need to complain about it and they need to say knock it off. you either need to say who you are or i'm to stop giving money to you. there's a reason universities do you. there's a reason universities do not advertise themselves as being an authoritarian group because nobody supports that. i think that if people really inform themselves about what going on and stand against it that's the only way to stem this tide. >> how long did it take you to write the book approximately? >> i wrote it in about four months. it was me locked in a room, me and my little dog. i wrote it, i wanted to write it to get it out but because i thought it was such an important topic and i thought it was so timely. i really felt like i had to move quickly and get it out so this is something we could start engaging in our culture to talk about because i just don't think people really rea

tennessee to the college now pays for every student what about public for year universities the averageon is $9,000. 40% have a pilgrimage. university of tennessee almost all have the state grant called of hope scholarship up the 4500 for juniors and seniors so a for university is within reach for most students but what about expensive colleges with the private tuition and fees this of the georgetown university president the other day they figure how much they can afford as the student to work 15 hours a week and then the university pays the rest to help them pay $60,000 a year at georgetown so for many students feel the eight universities to be available some people still need money and you can borrow that student loans are taxpayers generous enough for colleagues for a good defense below dash investment was made to answer this question is to compare the student loans while was 25 years old i bought my first car and i had to get an auto loan the bank made my father cosine because it had no assets or credit and said i had to pay a basket in three years. taxpayers will loan up 2/6 thousa

she reported her alleged assault to both the missoula police and the university. dean of students thought there was enough evidence to recommend the quarterback's expulsion. athletic director jim o'day disagreed. >> i said playing football is a privilege. we can take that away from this young man, but let's not ruin his life until we let the proper authorities investigate. >> a major shake up rocks the university of montana this morning. >> reporter: talking back to the dean may have cost him his job, o'day says. the next day he and robin pflugrad, the football coach, were let go and then another shock hit the town. in may 2012, federal investigators descended on missoula based in part on an anonymous title ix complaint. >> the fact that there was an actual outside source coming in and looking at all of this, i felt like something was finally happening. >> reporter: the school's entire track record on handling alleged sexual assaults, not just those by footballs, was under scrutiny. but the feds didn't stop there. they also wanted to know if the missoula police dep

accusations of the sexual assault and the university turning a blind eye. a young fraternity pledge from great falls virginia tried to expose the problems months ago. but we are only now hearing details because of a lawsuit he filed against the university by the young whistleblower. burned with cigarettes. forced to guzzle alcohol, some of what james said was the price to pay to join the kappa delta rho. >> it's not an understatement to say i was afraid somebody could die. >> so he did something. he says he took proof of the extreme hazing the drug use and the two secret facebook pages with pictures of the fraternity sexual assaulting women to officials. eight months went by and he never heard from anyone. >> when i saw what was doing on and the abuse that myself and others were repeatedly experiencing and the university was ignoring they left me no choice but to go to the police. >> in a statement to abc news in march they called the posting appalling and inconsistent with the university value and expectations. they suspended the chapter for three years. >>

at the university of california berkeley the berkeley speech movement the supreme court justices were liberal supreme court justices are now being cited by conservative supreme court justices really helped shape our conception of untraveled free-speech i think a pretty pure view. the aclu did important work that was opposed by conservatives. they were attacked by conservatives when they were defending nazis being able to walk through the neighborhood the holocaust survivors and then of course, you talk about joe mccarthy quex, frankly, a lot of the attacks on getting right now remind me of joe mccarthy. guilt by association the fact am speaking to conservative outlets i have excerpts i have excerpts that will running conservative outlets is somehow proof of something. they are not engaging me on the issue. it's more trying to say you are actually -- a been accused of being paid by the heritage foundation. but even if i had a not really sure what that would have to do with anything. and these tactics, they use them to try to silence any kind of debate they don't want to hear. >> what i

the subpoenas went to teachers. professors at bay area universities fought against the hearings. emboldened by their teachers and inspired by the burgeoning civil rights movements, college students converged on city hall. the hearings never got off the ground. bettina aptheker: the students at berkeley had essentially shut down the house un-american activities committee. they washed the students down the steps with the fire hoses. terence hallinan: my father was there when they turned the hoses on the kids, and he went over and turned the hose off. peter: it was the last time huac held hearings outside washington dc. energized by the victory over huac, student groups looked for a new target. they found it in segregation. terence: segregation was everywhere when you went and dragged it out. and then once you dragged it out it didn't have strong legs to stand on. peter: they started with pickets and sit-ins at mel's drive-in, a popular restaurant that hired black employees, but didn't allow them to work up front where customers could see them. bettina: dobbs, who owned that drive-i

this remarkable university as you begin the next 125 years for the university of north texas. i'm deeply honored to get to participate in this celebration for this commencement of the north texas mean green. now, i know first-hand the caliber of the students who attend the university of north texas. my nephew ryan abott graduated from north texas five years ago in 2010 with a degree in emergency administration and planning. he now works with the philadelphia office of emergency management. and the university of north texas would be proud of him today because of what he did earlier this week when he put his degree to good use helping to respond to the tragic amtrak crash that took place just outside of philadelphia. now, i also got to know recently a another current unt student. his name is nick bradley. now, for nick, after he graduated from high school he didn't come straight to unt. instead, he enrolled and joined in to the united states air force. he served in the united states air force until 2008 when the truck that he was riding in blew up. because of a bomb in afghanista

the students were immediately expelled from the university of oklahoma. is anyone troubled by the singular action? is anyone troubled that university president has expelled students unilaterally? yes? >> thseese things come up a lot. in our society we have the right of the due process. particularly in the university setting i think anyone would be hard-pressed to defend their actions but not to defend their right to due process. prof. chatelain: it is a scary idea that there can be -- a student can make a choice that has an impact on the community and there are choices students make an university settings, and there can be such a quick response. one may argue if they had worked at the university of oklahoma perhaps the response may be a distraction to other issues that are happening on campus and this was a strategic decision in hopes that would not be deeper digging into the culture at the university that may yield other issues. but i'm not saying that. how do we handle a university environment? what do we do a university? >> the nature of the video itsel

[applause] well, to the class of 2015 congratulations on reaching this remarkable milestone in your lives. your hard work, your dedication, your drive brought you to this moment. you know, i think very fittingly, moments ago, you applauded your family and friends who helped bring you to this day. i want you to think about this. there's one thing we know for sure. and that is that these family members of yours are extremely proud tonight. you cannot imagine the sense of joy they feel right now. so tonight would be a great time to ask for money.
