of the university or is against the mission of the university. it will depend. it could be for some people that it is good or it may not have any value. the university's resources may be better used inviting another person. as i said before, partly what is driving this is there are several thousand universities with different administrations with different views on these matters. they will have a ideological .iases as long as there is a diversity across universities, that is fine. people are going to make mistakes and be biased. outside the first amendment, that is not a reason for not having rules or giving people discretionary authority. my position is, that is fine. i am sure there will be errors. i think the university have to be able to do that if it wants to function as a university. keith, do i take it from your book that you disagree that administrator should not be in the business of deciding what speech of high-value and what is not? they would emphasize one element of air point. choices about who comes to campus. has to beeffort settin

department in the university world. we can share that advantage of scale immediately in the marketplace, and we can put entrepreneurial leaders into the for-profit structure and grow these companies. all of those companies are owned, controlled and managed by our non-profit umuc ventures which i'm the ceo of. we have a national board and given it seed funding to help encourage and think carefully of how we can expand this market and provide services to the higher ed community. all of the profits that we earned from these profits or capital moments will go to scholarships, and that's our public mission. that's why we exist as a state university, and that's what all of this activity will allow us to do as we gain these financial benefits, channel through the non-profit mission will decrease the cost of going to school and that's what we were designed to do. we are designed to help working adults finish their degrees whether it was by plane to okinawa or across the street or nowadays across the computer. so our vision of wh

in just the past week, the university's president and athletic director have resigned. today, the state's attorney general, bill schuette, said he wants documents, texts and emails from the university about what transpired there. joining me now is matt mencarini, who's been covering the nassar case for a year and a half for the "lansing state journal" in michigan matt, thank you very much for being here. let's just start at the beginning here. in 2016, the indy star publishes an exposeÉ largely focused on u.s. gym knacks and how they overlooked allegations about nassar's behavior. the focus was on them at the time. ce remind us what michigan state university said they knew at the time about his behavior? >> they said they new little initially, that hay field the complaint and a new police report had been filed alleging sexual assaults against him dating back decades. they soon fired him several days after the first indy star story. one of the reasons they fired him is he did not follow protocols after a 2013 title nine investigation and had not told the university ten ye

whether the university diploma is still worth the cost and in fact. it lands on the cover of one of the most highly subscribed magazines. it is penned by the former president of the united states. what is the magazinefor it is the saturday evening post. this college access, effectiveness, relevance, and especially affordability. the obvious question for us today is what can we learn from the ways that americans have responded historically. the answer is in the past when americans became disillusioned with the college as a failed to them which they are barred due to race or gender, religion or they establish an entirely new kinds of institutions beginning with small all-male mostly denominational colleges the college eventually expanded to include agricultural colleges, teacher education schools, historically black colleges and universities, when in colleges, research universities, military academies and a host of others. there's institutional types and kinds that have developed over the centuries. all of these institutions grew out of shortcomings tha

so the university of manchester house about ten thousand international students which is the most of any u.k. university or there was a percentage it's not the highest so those students are important to us for a number of reasons they bring diversity they bring different cultures they bring different backgrounds different ways of thinking our own students benefit from studying in an environment with students from very different backgrounds. of course they also bring income to the university which is important the largest community chinese students which make up just under forty percent of the total international student body. the crowds lining the streets around the university of manchester. the president visited we knew it was really in. joining this visit president. matters. not to say. me like just material. right with. the state. stopping. since the early nineties chinese higher education is experiencing a spectacular growth. over the course of thirteen years the number of students grew from seven million to thirty five million studying abroad has become an absolute must for all t

critical questions that universities wrestle with today. we've got ten clients in the last two months including systems, large research universities and smaller research universities, too, so it's finding a place in the market and being useful. it's also creating value as a company and we need to think about how we at umuc think about the value of the company we create. we've spun off our i.t. department, and these models are predicated on the idea that we can harness the for-profit drive, the great entrepreneurial resource that is part of our economy and our american dna to create these companies with a deep expertise, great provenance within the higher ed community that are at scale at day one, given our size our i.t. department is 100 employees there aren't many folks that have that. we can share that advantage of scale immediately in the marketplace and we can put entrepreneurial leaders into the for-profit structure and grow these companies. all of those companies are owned, controlled and managed by our nonprofit, umuc ventures, which i'm the ceo of. we have a na

, and what is not core to the university? and clearly, in the academic space, in a curriculum and teaching faculty selection academic advising, those are things that have to stay inside the university. but we challenged ourselves to say, does everything else need to stay in your control, within your definition of scope? and we said no. and we said we want to think about spinning off or going to the market for the full range of other capabilities out there. and when we think about, you know -- we don't run our own food services any more. why should we run our own i.t. departments? i think that's a question that universitys should ask themselves, and we at umuc did ask that question. so what we did was we created new companies. we spun them off from the umuc, and stood up new for-profit businesses to create a new market to give options to the university higher ed community. so let me give you one example. so our analytics group, likely talked about our analytics group being predictive and useful. so we said why don't we spin tha

and masters from the university of north carolina. after 32 years as the professor, dean, vice chancellor and the last post was president of the research and technology park, steven ambrose and i, some of you may remember, the late steven ambrose decided that the country needed a national d-day museum and we set about in 1990 to do that and i became the chairman and ceo and ultimately the president of the d-day museum which got a new mission from congress a few years later, and so we are now the national world war ii museum in the city of new orleans and serving members and people from all over to the country with almost 700,000 visitors. we will talk a little bit more about them, but there is also a new institute for the study of war and democracy, and a world war ii media and education center which are part of the story which we are going to talk about just here in a moment. so, there are mikes up here for the audience as well as for c-span. and i will ask questions and we will go down the row, and get answers from our various presen

so, what we try to do is operate both within the university and beyond. one of the things that we aim to do at the luskin center is to modify the culture of the academy to make students and faculty more receptive to historically informed work that addresses questions of contemporary relevance. to make that a legitimate and regular form of historical inquiry and discourse. so this is one of the things that we aim to do within the university that we expect will radiate out. from that, our plans are to produce historically informed policy papers that reach actual decisionmakers at the local, regional and national levels. >> that's exciting. just chime in here too that to reinforce what you say about that, there is a thirst for history out there. the national world war ii museum is some evidence of that. we are now approaching 6 million visitors since we were founded 17 years ago. this is sport of a supply side museum. we weren't -- it wasn't demand-driven. it wasn't like the nation was clamoring for a d-day museum or a world war ii museum. some 17,000 visitor

harris was not the only university porter/janitor/resurrectionist. another college had a african-american janitor by the name of chris baker appeared there is considerable work being done on baker. an archivist has published work on his life. he was born at the medical college and learn to trade from his father, billy. students said he was "more cheerful in the company of corpses than any man in richmond." when these enslaved porters died, there were scholarships offered in their name. i would argue that very few enslaved people received published obituaries. i would love someone to do an obituary project will be tried to find printed obituaries of enslaved people. to see who they were, where they domestic slaves, what kind of relationship they had with their enslavers. i know many of these resurrectionists had elaborate funerals. we also have to think about how this trade was regulated. sometimes the police arrested body snatchers and other times they protected them. when they were caught, like when chris baker was caught, they were often released af

they say the university failed to protect them in their citing this video. take a look, this was posted on youtube. in the video, see a woman getting attacked by mass demonstrators -- masked demonstrators. she was on campus to see the speaker milo and the vines shut down the event. the lawsuit named uc berkeley and campus police. four victims and the attorney said his clients had no idea that campus would be dangerous and he said that police should have known how it was going to turn violent. >> they're specialists. they understand criminal behavior. they had riots at berkeley for years. they contained a lot of riots and civilian authority is what we have to prove till the professionals stand down and we don't want no trouble. >> the victims are seeking compensation for medical bills and also want the university to change policy when it deals with violent protests and riots. back out here live, we did reach out to the university. they say at that point, they have no comment on that lawsuit. reporting live in berkeley, jessica flores, kpix5. >>> president trum

the question is, can universities play in that space? and the way universities are structured, students come in at age 18, study for four years and go away. there's no concept at universities of lifelong education. and to me, this sounds very much like, you know, we are close to pentagon here, like missiles, fire and forget. the age of 18. but we need to move to a completely new model of education where universities and education systems can work with learners throughout their careers skpl aand not just the four years. many other challenges facing the education system. one is the costs are crazy. second is that there's not been a lot of innovation in the education space in tens, maybe hundreds of years. and so, edx was founded in late 2011, founded by harvard and m.i.t. we are a nonprofit. the basic mission of edx is to reimagine education. okay, we're a nonprofit. and our thinking is, how do we work with university partners and corporations, governments, and other nonprofits to really rethink education as a system? it's not just about us

we don't understand the origin of 85% of all the gravity of the universe. ts, stars, planets-- it's none of the above. >> stephen: so the math says there should be more there but we can't see it? >> right, it's missing gravity rather than missing mass-- i'm sorry, it's gravity with no known source. >> stephen: which is what i said. when is what i said a moment ago. >> it's dark gravity. >> stephen: wow. >> is really what it is. then-- then there's some mysterious pressure in the vacuum of space. >> stephen: what do you mean? >> which we call dark energy. beaut butt we should just call it fred and wilma-- i joke about this. we don't know what they are. don't give it a name that makes people think we know what it is because we don't know what it is. it's a pressure in the vacuum of space forcing the universe to accelerate nonetheless expansion. and i've written about this because i lose sleep over this fact-- ( laughter ) can i share this? i don't want to be blamed -- >> stephen: i don't know that i could stop you. ( laughter ). >> i don't want to be blamed if

the law actually compels private universities to extend the same kind of public freedoms that public universities are mandated to do. but it's correct that we have an obligation to -- to keep the campuses open to any student organization and the public at large. we have a particular public mandate that you can at your universities limit. so i think you're hearing something of a cultural difference here, that in fact is limited by the law. but what a faculty -- i mean in the classroom it's perfectly clear who would adjudicate. the professor would. >> the particular professor or -- >> up to a point. with the university of california, we do have a religious policy on academic freedom. and what that does is to draw a line for the purposes that michael i think just described between a professors private activities and their professional activities. so that in order to protect the right of professors and freedom of professors to be politically engaged outside of the crass ro room. of course the rubber really hits the road there when the professor is teaching politics. for example, a profes

given the exclusion of black americans from most colleges and universities prior to the civil warring, reformerred gathered in washington, dc in 1866 to establish a university dedicated to the common good through the higher education of black americans, supported be and named for u.s. freedman's bury re commissioner, oliver howard. howard university was initially intended to educate preachers and teacher, in particular, to serve recently emancipated people. by the time the university opened, however, it encompassed almost every element of higher education in america at the time. it offered a traditional collegiate program. howard himself was a bowdoin graduate and it hat a program in agricultural science and had a normal school. in short the university was meant tougher african-americans precisely that from which most colleges and universities had excluded them up to that moment in time. similarly this era witnesses the rise of the women's college, institutions that offer a four-year college education to women equivalent to that offered to men. smith college is an example. established

the university has said it was a suspected suicide. have taken their lives at the university and the deaths have put the spotlight on how universities can help students with mental—health problems. numerous studies have found that students are increasingly reporting mental health illness in further education. one study by the institute for public policy research found students are at risk in a unique way, a cocktail of stressful factors including financial, social and academic pressures. there is a toxic mix of things impacting on this generation. that includes unrealistic expectations they have of themselves. this can be compounded by the fact with the advent of social media, students never have any downtime, and often feeling inadequate because what they see is the highlights of each other‘s lives. universities have a duty of care towards students but what that duty in tales is not clear. i think our duty of care as a university is to be alert to the fact we have increasing numbers of students with additional support needs. and to ai

on the university campus, books drifted in and out of homes. borrowed and returned, creased and torn. passed around. i read everything. except for fantasy. >> the walls seemed to me so unknown and knowable. that felt like an even asian of happening in a mesentery world while the mystery of our own world was yet to be siphoned. >> i read every meal that came my way. >> and i suspect some people have had the same experience. i read albert's fears inside the third reich. i read sid sheldon and robert ludlum. i read anna karen any and water baby and the love of el dorado. and like many in new jersey, and from west africa i read everything every one of these books by james hatley whose prime novels such choice titles as a hole in the head. there were set in america. and had their own particular hard-boiled our god. so i was deflated to learn years later that nobody in america had ever heard of james a dj. the genteel romance of barbara heartland were everywhere and i read them all. i remember one in which a woman's husband was assumed dead in the gre

the department of english and comparative literature at columbia university, nicholas dames is the author of two books both published by university press, 1810-1870, and reading neural science and fiction. he also writes on contemporary literature and humanities, the novel reading etc. for many publications including the atlantic new york times book review, the nation and public books and that leads me into sharon marcus, literature at columbia university and dean of the humanities, ending her deanship. her first book, city and home in 19th-century by the university profess and her second book, marriage, desire and friendship was published by princeton, and also i should mention public books again because 2012, sharon and caitlin at nyu cofounded public books, an online magazine that features really great accessible writing by scholars and other people in the community, activists and writers it is a great publication. all the way over there to my left is eric schwartz, my colleague, editor and director, editor of sociology and cognitive science and basically run the acquisition department

again that is not so much about the ongoing mission of the university. so it's gone over okay i guess. in other words, the conservatives said we don't need affirmative action, our ideas are better, so they should just be hired. and my friends on the left said that i had sullied the words affirmative action by attaching them to conservatives. these are words affirmative action that very few of my friends on the left have been using. they prefer inclusion and equity. but i think the conversation seems to be salutary. one of the most important things about bias is that when you talk about it, you have a better chance of recognizing your own prejudices and therefore doing something about it. so there is no quota system, there is no litmus test. i just thought that the soft censorship of prejudice was working very strongly in my classes and in my friends' classes and that there are things that we ought to do about that in an affirmative way, not just relying on the market place of ideas. >> i'm tempted to ask youplace of ideas. >> i'm tempted to ask you questi

now, that actually turns out to be a very possible concept because it turns out that in the universe,in reality much of what we see works the same way. in fact, a tree of -- a physical tree is encoded for the most part in a seed and there are processes that then run on the information that's contained on the seed and resources that are extracted from the outside and those process's ultimately create a tree but this happens in mathematics and also in computer science also. this is something that's called the game of life, how many of you are familiar with the game of life? in the game of life, there are incredibly simple rules, for example, that if you have two or three neighbors, then you live, if you're a cell which is colored in and you have exactly two or three neighbors, then you live. if you have more than three neighbors you die as of overpopulation, okay, if you have less than two neighbors, you die as of overpopulation and if you have, i think, what is it exactly three neighbors and you're a dead cell, then you can come back to life, that's it. okay, four rules. any child can

with the university of california we do have a regents policy on academic freedom. what that does is to draw a line for the purposes of michael i think just described, between a professors private activities and their professional activities. so that in order to protect the right of professors and the freedom of the professors to be politically engaged outside of the classroom. of course the rubber really hits the road and a professor is teaching politics, and those of the places where we see the most challenge in these environments. so, for example, a professor from the middle east as a particular position on the middle east, that might cost a line between instruction and advocacy. that's not a simple line to navigate. and many of the controversies we've seen at berkeley, whether it's one side of the political spectrum or the other our students who are concerned about, or disapprove of the positions that professors may profess in those particular kinds of settings. and i think that's one of the arenas where we've seen the most stress and its come from both the left

so the university of manchester house about ten thousand international students which is the most of any u.k. university or there was a percentage it's not the highest so those students are important to us for a number of reasons they bring diversity they bring different cultures they bring different backgrounds different ways of thinking our own students benefit from studying in an environment with students from very different backgrounds. of course they also bring income to the university which is important the largest community chinese students which make up just under forty percent of the total international student body. the crowds lining the streets around the university of manchester. the president visited we knew it was. during his visit president. matters. not to say demonstrating. the thinnest lightest material. right. state. since the early ninety's chinese higher education is experiencing a spectacular growth. over the course of the eighteen years the number of students grew from seven million to thirty five million studying abroad has become an absolute must for all the c

murray was shouted down at the universal of michigan this past fall as well. what do you think is different, have students changed? >> well the identity politics is way more intense. you are getting this, you can't talk to me about any of my life experiences because you aren't a woman, you aren't black, or you aren't poor, and therefore, it's almost as if they're saying, we have no common humanity. >> some kriltices say too many college cam pulse tuesday aren't places for a civil exchange of idea. but, an intolerant world of plilt cal correction. a recent gallup poll find that 54% of college students say people on campus are afraid to say what they believe. and if you visit a campus these days, you may feel like you need a dictionary for a whole new set of phrases. terms like, safe space, a place where students can go, where their won't be exposed to coppices that make them uncomfortable. trigger warnings, when a professor cautions students that upcoming ma feerl could be dims tressing. but now some signs of a backlash. >> discomfort is intrinsic part of an edu

he thought about the whole universe and tried to remake the whole universe fundamentally from scratch. he went through different phases where he thought it is the one element that the universe is made of? he'd become driven by that and try to store the implications of that as much as possible and then see what drove these diagrams and you would see he would fill up a blackboard from left to right including things like black holes and wormholes and things like this to explain and he was a revolutionary in the same. a lot of ideas we see today mike black holes and quantum physics ideas come from so from his clever mind came things like wormholes and connections. no matter what you put into a black hole you see they throw themselves in that it can only tell you three things about itself. it's only these three things so he compared that to something like a marine or soldier who could only report his name, rank and serial were supposed like you said they had no hair so that is a quote from him that they are indistinguishable and here we see a diagram of something called the participatory u

the world's most expensive university. these activists goal was to fight the un bearable debt weighing on american citizens including the housing debt health debt and most importantly the student debt. the student debt problem and i have stated about one point three trillion in total in there about forty million student debtors about eight million of those students are already in default meaning they're not paying out loans people can't imagine social goods or public goods in the united states it's unimaginable that you could have free education so there is a kind of normalizing of a of a i like to say kind of economic violence that people are used to and they just expect that that's the way that is and that's the way it always will be the right to education has been supplanted by the right to access education loans. they emphasize that has had the overall impact of stifling optional political imagination of students because they're so highly and and they have to think about their future in very particular ways that are tie

and so i had some preliminary discussions with the university of press over the years -- with the university press over the years. and then became acquainted with an agent here in washington who submitted it to some other presses, including university of chicago. d university of chicago -- brian: how anxious were they to buy the book? what year did you have the contract? henry: had the contract in 2016. and how do we measure how eagle' publisher is to publish a book? i think they recognized merit in it. they understood as a university press that they publish a lot of things they hope will reach a general audience. chicago probably does more titles for general audiences than most university presses. but they recognize that the -- there would be some market for it. if i could do my part to help promote that, we might have something that would work. brian: how much of the research did you do yourself? henry: didn't have any research assistants. i had these papers that i inherited that would have saved me weeks. so i visited the truman library but didn't have to go there for a week's worth of re

and bob fondly refers to the city of marian as the hub of the universe. he represents -- he represents the dedication to public service that should serve as an inspiration to all of us. mayor bob butler, we honor you wish you happy and well deserved retirement. mr. speaker, i also rise today recognize wish you happy sams of marian, illinois. this remarkable couple were married -- first married on september 27, 1936. if you think about that, that was 80 years ago. sam worked for central illinois power service until he retired in 1978. eve worked at herin and later as a cook for washington school. pillars of the community. they were long time members of first baptist church in marian, and the williamson county farm bureau. in 1993, their farm was honored as a family farm of the year by the farm bureau. sadly, eve passed last month at the age of 101. my prayers are with sam and the entire jones family. thank you for making southern illinois a wonderful place to live. god bless you. with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman y

the question is can universities claim that space. and the way universities are structured, students coming the age of 18 study for four years and then they go away. there's no concept at universities of lifelong education. and to me this sounds very much like, you know, close to pentagon here, like missiles, you know, fire and forget. but we need to move to a new model of education where universities can work with learners throughout their careers and not just the first four years. there are many other challenges facing the education system. one is the costs. second is there's not been a lot of innovation in the education space in tens, maybe hundreds of years. and so we were founded in late 2011 by a har var m.i.harvard m. our thinking is how do we work with university partners and corporations, governments and other nonprofits, to really rethink education as a system, because it's not just about us, it's rethink education as system. today we are based in massachusetts in the technology hub, and we really think like a start-up even t
