we worked especially hard this year in trying to bring undergraduates to our conference. they have a special poster session competition. we have more k-12 teachers than we used to have. we have more people with advanced degrees in history who are doing things other than being professors. in terms of just attendance, it is very different. i think in terms of the modes of presentation. 10 years ago, especially 20 years ago, our conference looked like a lot of other academic conferences, which is you would walk into a room and three people would read papers. one person would comment and the audience would ask questions. that was the standard format. now we have a lot more workshops. we have workshops for teachers, workshops for people who do various kinds of history. we have a lot of professional development sessions. the format has become a lot more flexible. a lot more roundtable this . roundtableg, a consisted of one person speaking for 10 minutes about an op-ed he had written and three other historians criticize what he has written, responding and opening up to the audie

the idea of need based portable undergraduate grants. and that was the model that unexpectedly prevailed. there are a number of reasons why that might have been. one explanation was universities one, had come under increasing criticism from the public and from members of congress for allegedly their inability to handle student unrest and campus rebellion. the other thing is that in electoral politics, if you are a member of congress, and you approved direct federal aid to one university but not to another, you are making some happy but many more unhappy. the great appeal and magnetism of the portable student aid is that students became the consumers. and there were lots of families whose children wanted to go to college. you would make them very happy if they had a federal grant. these were called the basic education opportunity grants. the lingo became beog. that prevailed. it was the foundation that was approved in 1972 along with a number of other collateral programs, and what is important to keep in mind that since the higher educati

i went to undergraduate school and got an undergraduate degree in architecture.ally did four years in two years. so after two years i got my undergraduate degree, and then i decided i would go to the sloan school and got my masters degree, an mba essentially. david: and then you went to bcg? p.m. netanyahu: yeah. david: alright, so you are in the business career. you are in a great firm, bcg. what propelled you to get out of that, possibly getting into private equity, and going into something else? p.m. netanyahu: what? [laughter] david: why did you abandon that and go back to israel? what happened? p.m. netanyahu: man's greatest calling. david: private equity, yes. [laughter] p.m. netanyahu: i was derailed. i was derailed into a lesser direction. what changed my life was that about a month after i got into bcg, my brother fell at leading the rescue for entebbe. david: this is your oldest brother in entebbe. he was the only israeli soldier that was killed then. that was july 4, 1976, right? p.m. netanyahu: right. david: so you decided to go back and honor him in

[laughter] >> 25 years ago i was an undergraduate here at rutgers college. it probably goes without saying that attending college then and now are significantly different. the way we communicate it was different. there was no emailer social media. we worked on our papers on shared computers with something called floppy disks. go ahead and google that. [laughter] rare and thes were news was measured in days and weeks, not by hours and minutes. much of my experience is what i imagine yours is today. we worried about how grades in our overall gpa. pulled all nighters, we attended rutgers sports gains decked out in red. i lived on senior street. i went home on the occasional weekend to see my family and have a home-cooked meal. i avoided taking the bus whenever possible. [laughter] weall of us wondered what would do with our lives once he graduated from rutgers. there was one thing i did know as an undergraduate, i had a growing passion for politics and public service. while at rutgers i volunteered for the 1992 clinton/gore presidential campaign.

there were a mix, undergraduate, graduate, but for people who were going into a specialty of getting your doctoral in history, you had to meet certain prerequisites with regard to your undergraduate study and i didn't meet them so i had to take those kind of courses so i suspect that they only saw me as some old man sitting in the corner. didn't care one way or less. professors, more, were in tune with the fact that i was military, and like i said, a bunch of them were very favorable, but i did have a number of professors who were anti-military at the time. when i got into the graduate reading courses, of course, because you're a small group of people and you got to know one another. and then there were people there that you -- i went through school at university of north carolina with another guy who was coming back to the history department, so -- and there were a bunch of military people that were in that triangle area, north carolina state, north carolina, and duke, that returned to west point, either in history, english, as a matter of fact, so we got to know one another as well

this is true at the undergraduate level and the graduate level. the association of american medical colleges found that african-american students with low scores and average grades had a 56% of getting into med school. at the other end, asian students with the exact same scores and grades had a 6% chance of getting in., so facts like this have spurredd lawsuits from groups and individuals alleging discrimination. in every case, the data proving that there has beenin discrimination. defenders of the current system say that nobody is being discriminated against and that race has nothing to do with thesemi numbers. of course, no one actually believes that. consider this example. at cal tech, which has a rare race neutral admissions policy, the student body is 43% asian in 2013.cy at harvard, which has quotas against asians it once did against jews, even as the number of asian applicantser have risen. when skin color becomes a criterion for admission, some people lose. but who exactly wins? no one ever asks that. we know who is supposed to benefit. af

in massachusetts, thousands of graduate students in undergraduate teaching assistants at harvard university have voted to unionize. harvard student newspaper reported harvard representative repeatedly declined answer whether administrators will recognize the harvard graduate students union, a chapter of the united automobile workers, the uaw. a climate change denier with no scientific credentials is set to helm nasa after he was narrowly confirmed by the senate in a 50-49 vote. oklahoma republican congress member jim bridenstine previously demanded president obama apologize for funding climate change research, and said falsely from the house floor that global temperatures stopped rising early this century. bridenstine will now oversee an agency whose earth sciences division is responsible for much of the satellite data used to investigate how human activity is driving global warming. in a major victory for environmentalists, banking giant hsbc said friday it will no longer finance the development tar sands oil extraction, most coal-fired power plants, and oil and gas drilling in the arctic.

the judge himself was a columbia undergraduate and law school alum. the judge's answer was as expected. i have had a woman clerk before, so that's okay with me, but this is an intense job, and sometimes i will need her to come in on a saturday, to stay late. i can't risk it. so the professor said, i have a deal for uh-you you can't refus. give her a chance and if she doesn't please you, there's a young man in her class going to a downtown firm and he'll jump in and take over. that's the carrot. there was a stick as well. what's the stick? if you don't give her a chance, i will never recommend another columbia student to you. that's -- for women of my generation, getting that first job was all important. just had to get your foot in the door. if you got the job, you generally performed as least as well -- in many cases better than the men -- but you needed to get that first job to be sent on your way. >> and this was professor jerry g gunther? >> yes, it was then at columbia and transferred to stanford. >> you worked for the judge. did it work out? >>

i was giving a given a talk at a liberal arts college and i was talking to someone who teaches undergraduate courses and ask him what he was teaching he said i had 18 students and wired to more than 18. yes these things happen all the time. or an in law school for example. one of the main factors in the rankings is the ellie st scores. what are law schools do. they admit students with high scores as normal students and then they admit those with lower scores on a probationary basis so they don't get included in the rankings. or here's another thing that goes on all the time. law schools go and raid schools that are one level below them by taking the students who started at another school. because there is scores have been lower. have them transferred to the higher rated law school and then there scores don't get counted because they weren't part of the freshman class. one of the effects of all of this ranking and ratings has been a tremendous amount of gaming in the educational sector. unfortunately it's true that a lot of the most important things in education are very difficult to measure.
