and to collaborate with an undergraduate on a research project is to run a kind of risk. and the risk is that people will think the research can't be very good because it was done by undergraduates. but i hope when you read the book, you'll be convinced that that perception is radically, is radically wrong. i've been teaching at amherst for 40 years, and other than teaching the students who are in this room, working with these students is the best thing that happened to me in 40 years of teaching. and may i just say, i was going to save the thanks until the end, but premature gratitude is never premature. so i really want to say thanks to greg cole who's amherst college's deep of the faculty and has been -- dean of the faculty and has been a leading figure in transforming the college to make possible the kind of collaboration that is represented, that is represented in this book. without his belief and his leadership, this transformation would not have happened, and i would not have published my 50th or 80th or 90th book, so -- [applause] >> professor, you promised if i c

there is a very high demand for undergraduate students. >> brian fitzgerald runs the business highereducation forum. the association of corporate executives and university leaders help broker the deal. he said schools are welcoming corporate influence because they need the money. >> federal and state spending on higher education has dropped from approximately $90 billion to $69 billion. at the same time demand for higher education continues to increase. >> students like emily are enrolling in the program for cyber security because she sees it as an easy road to a good job. >> they brought in a lot more actual cyber working people. in three or four years out of school who were able to help us and say these are the tax clasclassesyou need to take. this is what it takes to get a job. >> offering scholarships, fund computer labs and high tech resources, it's helping to devise course work that it's employees need. >> it will craft a framework for the course work, and then as a team we'll go back and review that framework. the firms in the industry will make recommendations. >> firms have

caller: undergraduate was about $30,000.hink the interesting thing about that is my debt increases by five dollars each day just because of the interest. freenately, my tuition is and i get a living stipend, but at the same time i have to work 20 hours a week through the school and then they expect me to intern. that is very difficult when i am in graduate classes and working over 20 hours per week. host: what did you hear from that caller? guest: the challenges of working while going to school is certainly something a lot of students face. there is research to suggest that after a certain amount of work each week, there are diminishing returns and it can impede your likelihood that you will complete your program which is another sort of challenge or problem with student debt. students who go to institutions take on debt and do not graduate with a credential. in huntsville, alabama, recent graduate. did you go to school in alabama? caller: yes, alabama a&m university. i got my graduate to agree in social work. host: are you

enough for all existing undergraduate borrowers. there is no reason on earth to say some kids can get a better deal than others when they all worked hard to do exactly what we wanted them to do. get an education. this legislation won't add a single dime to our deficit. the bank on students legislation adopts the buffett rule, which limits tax loopholes for millionaires and billionaires. every dollar we bring in as a result of that change will go directly to supporting lower interest rates on existing student loans. now we only introduced this bill yesterday, but we're already getting a great response. think tanks like demos student groups like young invincibles. teachers group like the american federation of teacher and the national education association have all come forward and endorsed this proposal. letters and e-mails and phone calls are already pouring in. i'm also encouraged by the fact that some republicans have also come forward to say that they are open to considering a refinancing proposal. now, i want to be clear, this s

the goal of obtaining an undergraduate degree. the obligation should be maintained regardless of your productivity and the athletic field. the sad reality is if the student athlete is not performing their athletic scholarship may not be become moot. this will insensate and athletes only focus on scholarship renewable at all costs rather than striking the right of the performance of a classroom and not feel the place. health and insurance benefits. after sustaining a sports related injury a student at least those in the united be reduced or eliminated. student-athletes that sustain permanent injuries' should be afforded health insurance benefits for life. i also hasten to add that all college athletic programs should enhance their efforts to minimize the risk. stipend, at the very least transfer, the four year scholarships are mandated. i am okay with current transfer restrictions. i was a product of these transfer restrictions. however, if honoring for year scholarships is not required the onetime no penalty transfer options shoul

that's 3.86% for undergraduate loans, 5.14% for graduate loans and 6.41% for plus loans. now, i want to be clear. those rates are still higher than what it costs the government to run its student loan program. our work will not be done until we have eliminated all of the profits from the student loan program. but this legislation is an important step in that direction. 40 million borrowers in this country have student loan debt. 40 million. and many of those individuals could save hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year with this bill. they need this help now. last year nearly every republican in congress, in the house and in the senate voted for the exact same loan rates that are in this legislation. republican leaders like speaker of the house john boehner, embraced 3.86% for new undergraduate borrowers as consistent with republican policy proposals. okay, it may not be my preferred rate. but if republicans believe that 3.86% is good enough for new undergraduate borrowers, then it should be good enough for existing undergraduate borrowers who also worked hard to ge

second question, more than half of full-time undergraduates will complete their four-year degrees inrs. >> oh! stop it, stop it. >> what is the correct answer? >> the correct answer -- yeah. it's actually six years. and according to the department of education, fewer than 40% of full-time first-time undergraduates starting a four-year degree will graduate within four years. and it's actually almost 60% who graduate in six years. >> okay, i think we'll go back to hoda but not if she continues with her behavior. >> by the way, this girl graduated from 3 1/2 years. >> i'm alyssa and i went to allegheny college. >> which celebrity did not get into georgetown university as a freshman but was later accepted as a transfer student? michael jordan? ashley judd? bradley cooper? or wanda sykes? >> i want to say ashley judd. >> you may want to say it, but she's wrong. >> well, the answer is actually bradley cooper. who went on to graduate with honors from georgetown university where he became fluent in french. >> he sure did. >> and he later went on to get his msa in acting in new york. >> i lov

another thing i like about ebb score so much and i think we can increase our focus on undergraduates participating in the research because frankly we have undergraduate talent all across this country and many of them don't have the access to their resource opportunities that others do. >> i appreciate your comments and continuing to work in partnership to build out and strengthen stem disciplines at the undergraduate and graduate level research capabilities at a water range of colleges and universities in the tech transfer capabilities of the national labs is something worthy of all of our attention. you mentioned in passing hubs. i would simply say manufacturing hubs that allow us to coordinate federal investments in cutting-edge technology research and translated directly into advanced manufacturing and i stayed strikes me as a strategy well worth our time. thank you very much madam chairwoman. >> senator collins. >> thank you madam chairwoman. dr. collins first of all i wish you really were my cousin. we joke about that every time i see you. >> we could discover. with a little dna

so students taking out undergraduate loans in the current year will pay 4.66%. that was the rate that was set last week. private student loans tend to have more variable rates to the amount you're paying in interest can fluctuate. and as we were talking about, for both student loans it is extremely difficult to if not impossible to discharge them in bankruptcy. but as we were saying federal loans tend to have more flexible repayment options. >> host: robert says states are no longer funding colleges referring to our earlier conversation here about the cost of college. and then another tweet here from jim who says, remind me how much senator warren was paid to teach one class. warren, former professor. then explain why college is expensive. >> guest: i don't have senator warren's harvard salary at top of my head but, you know, she is someone who came from academia. >> host: what about the cost of professors and presidents college, college presidents? >> guest: that's certainly been on the rise and been an area where a lot of people have criticized higher educatio

maybe pictures of yourself at undergraduate parties? >> you do. gerri: these companies probably pay more attention than anybody else. >> so you're right. these companies, their recruiters are technical recruiters a lot of the tie -- time. they're very technologically savvy. they're perusing all the websites and social channels. the pictures of you doing a keg stand or drinking beer or something a little strange, if you want to get hired at one of these companies it is too risky to have it on and remove it. if there is something you don't want your mother to see, think of these companies as the same way. gerri: you had something interest to say about if you have the big degree, mba, law degree, there may be room for you at these companies. how so? >> absolutely. in some of these cases increasingly some a lot of them what's been in the news as of late a lot of free speech online, for example, and the rights and changing landscape in free speech online and commenting and revealing things and so if you have a law degree force, the days of going into y
