the first year, we moved all of our undergraduate programs to the oer model and saved our undergraduate students alone $17 million that they would have otherwise spent on textbooks. the following year, we converted our graduate programs. in 1993, umuc was one of the first universities to actually offer students an opportunity to complete a degree program remotely, using a combination of media, including computers. today, our 90 programs specializations and certificates are completely online. and we have mobile and responsive platforms that allow our students access to their classrooms and their faculty anywhere in the world, any time of day, from any of the technology devices that they are using. all of these innovations are things we have developed in response to our students who are at the center of our university so they have access, affordability, quality and career relevance. serving adult military learners is who we are. and my colleague michael is going to talk about how we're actually further breaking down some of those barriers related to cost. >> so we went through an assessme

one is served for nearly as junior college providing the first two years of the undergraduate course of study and when they then add of then e of a vocational orientation and here again i'm'm not going to go to heavily into the details of the history except to say to community college, which is the only kind of higher education institution that americans can rightfully claim to have invented in the rest of the models from elsewhere but that community college historically takes the concern of access and affordability and relevant. so as you can see, american higher education is characterized not by bein beingn ivory tower set aside from society and never changing butut in fact is characterized by institutional transformation, like reform and by change which brings us to the present. in the sense that this is yet another transitional if not transformational period in history. so what if we were to apply the lessons of w the past with today what woulwith what we learn and? that is pretty clear we would expect new kinds of institutional types to develop and assert themselves to call for

so, we at minerva have created our own undergraduate university program. and we decided to actually use the same measure to see if a revamped curriculum focused on actually providing students systemic ways of thinking, various tools that they can apply, practically, to any field that they will pursue, will be effective. now, we focus most of our energy at introducing, merely introducing these ideas in the first year. and then, as students go in their second, third, and fourth year, into their major, their concentration, take electives, they then exercise and transfer and make more generalizable these broad skills while they cement them in their brain. but we wanted to see what would happen only after the first eight months, only after one year at minerva. and so we gave our students the test, the cla test, at the beginning of the year, and we gave it to them at the end of eight months. and it's important to note that the deans at minerva, the ones who created the curriculum, had never seen the cla test before. they have no idea what it tests. they knew the

the average undergraduate debt in the united states today is about $25,000. we know that over the course of a lifetime, we have all seen that graph in terms terms of lie earnings, an ungraduate degree is certainly worth $25,000. so, how that will work in the future is a little unclear to me. probably the best sort of reporting that i've seen on that recently is that it's actually going to begin to control itself because our enrollment -- because of the demographic population in the united states and the number of students who will be applying to college because the number of students applying to colleges is actually going to shrink and so we are going to have a supply and demand problem and so the cost of college is actually going to come down relative to the past, and that may actually fix itself. so i don't know if that's a full answer to the question but that's at lest my sense of what has happened. ... >> if those have evolved over time and if we were able to analyze what those are and evolve them, if it would bring that, good perspective and, good perspe

and when we think about marginalization, coming from the last 20 years at yale, women weren't undergraduates at the university until 40 years ago. it's beyond the ability to imagine that, but their moms are just beginning to be the age that they could have actually been students at yale. and so we need to understand there is a long history of people whose identity, however that is being constructed, religiously, racially, gender lines, have been marginalized and had such experiences that people now -- and in this case, you know, trump-voting students are now feeling some of that same discomfort. this is not to say i'm not sympathetic to the discomfort. i agree that we should be embracing all of the students that we've admitted to our universities and colleges and say you are ours and we're part of a community and we'll support one another. even when we disagree. particularly when we disagree. i think that is fundamental to actually who we are as an academic community. but we need to be -- speaking of historians, we need to be good historians about there as well. that for some people, some pe

it also made clear to us, for those of us who teach both undergraduate and graduate students, that the same opportunities that might have been available to a previous generation were not going to be available to that current generation and that we needed to think of multiple career pathways. i think what is good about that moment of crises is it allowed us to think of new avenues in which we can infuse historical knowledge and perspective into domains of life where previously we hadn't thought. i think that crisis induced an enhanced sense of the relevance of history and in a sense, liberated us from thinking that the only worthwhile career outcome was an r-1 research university. so that's how i often think of this moment of relevance, as in part induced by that crisis of 2008-2009. >> i think that's an excellent segue to one concluding comment that i would make and then we'll open it up to questions from the audience as well. i'm reminded of another inflection point in history back in the 16th century. there's a great line about martin luther and the protestant ethic and the spirit of

shows similarities between issues that arise in so many zones of controversy and many of you were undergraduates or in graduate school and had heard of the doctrine of separation of powers that is often attributed to james madison and that is not the system we have. our system is one of link powers and there is almost nothing that one branch can do and it has to get a bye in of at least one. when you see that, you get claims of power. i wanted to ask you what you thought the relationship was with the war power to targeted killing comment if we do need a mean the news that practice of lethal drawn strikes amounts to exponential killing? the new practice of lethal>> in war, pen that is a pretty big part of war. so, i begin with a proposition that, from the september 11 attacks, the united states has been engaged in a war with al qaeda and allies in a legal sense and it naturally follows that the president has a power to engage in lethal targeting and that is a legal conclusion and policy conclusion that i draw and it is not to say i am entirely comfortable with this and it is geographically disper

and then upon graduation of undergraduate school, you had to think about the draft. the draft even -- it was very present in our daily lives. what is going to happen next? what's the draft board going to say? what do we do? now, it happened that there were graduate deferments then. so i went to law school and continued to get a draft deferment, but i wrote my law school thesis, if you will -- they didn't call it at the time, but it was on the selective service system. i had this connection with the draft and those who were drafted, and then after leaving wisconsin i went to michigan. again, influenced by among others, the hearing statement participatory of deposition exhibit democracy. i get to michigan, and i'm appoint bid a federal judge, several later on, actually, defending people who were claiming conscientious objection. i think we don't know that today, but if you were a conscientious objector, the only way you could appeal a draft board decision saying no you're not or we don't believe you was to do it as a defendant in a federal criminal case. and i ended up

of the 16 universities chosen to compete in the latest advanced technology challenge with 60 undergraduates working on this project a multiyear project has a camaro that reduces the environmental impact in an exciting project to happen and i am happy to see toyota represented on the panel i just watched a little interview where they make the drive train now to make those engines from 25 years ago. the whole thing with the evolution doctor toyota and i met him in japan with senator rockefeller. he was so excited to tell me that against all advice of his high-powered engineers and business consultants do not put the engine plant there. he was determined and he pointed there not only is it a success but a myopic one -- a model for toyota manufacturing growing into the most sophisticated engines in the world then they went into drivetrain. standing by the highlander, without west virginia labor it would not move. not without that engine and the drivetrain. i was very proud of that. but 1300 in the plant and ask hundred to the dealerships across the state. west virginia totals 1.2 billion produc

in 2007, i started training my undergraduate and graduate students to conduct oral histories with student veterans, both as a means of cataloging the american experience of war in the 21st century but also as a vehicle for generating more discourse between soldiers and civilians. one of the central tenants of our project was to depoliticize it, to try to the degree possible to create a blank canvas for our veterans to paint with their own individual experiences. now, of course, we had our own set of topics and questions that we intended to ask, and that made complete objectivity impossible, but i'd like to think that we were guided by a principle of creating a forum for veterans to represent their own experiences, trajectories and viewpoints. one of the major themes to emerge from these conversations has been the inordinate challenge our veterans face in juggling the multiple dimensions of their identity. as students, as soldiers, as citizens. what we heard time and time again were the ways in which the culture of the military was, in fact, antithetical to that of higher education. we kno

[inaudible] >> i was a gap or an undergraduate school.t's an honor to meet somebody if maybe you could speak to the events that led up to the famous document in connecticut. >> the pictures 1960 and if you're young conservative in 1960, what are your alternatives? you have john kennedy was a liberal democrat for the republicans you have a moderate, it is sometimes conservative and moderate richard nixon. so if you believe in limited government what if you truly believe in individual freedom and responsibility. a strong national defense. all these compromises going on within this or that party, which you need is an organizatio organization-making conservatives. bill buckley said that make sense to me. i'll make happy to host a meeting. said 90 of us showed up at sharon, his home in september of 1962 found young americans for freedom. it's not the phrase that god given rights you should be in the statement. there was a vote taken on them and the vote was 44 - 40. to keep out votes. there were libertarians over to the libertarians too? do th
