university, the university of wisconsin, and so many other stellar public universities. that is a tradition we just cannot abandon. public higher education simply can't compromise on access or academic quality. so we must be creative and an entrepreneurial. public institutions must take responsibility for every escalating and legitimately incurred costs. they cannot ask students and government to foot the bill. whether through reorganization, expansion of revenue sources, or improved efficiency and productivity generated by sometimes difficult and unpopular decisions state universities must step up to the plate. let me just offer a simple example. a few years ago confronted with these challenges i proposed a new financing model for public higher education, one that spreads the responsibility for funding among stakeholders. it was called the cuny compact, and it delineates a partnership between state governments and the universities. state governments supporting the basic operations at the university, and the institution itself through productivity measures, philanthropy,

university, from the state. and that differentiates us from many other countries. european countries that generally have state controlled universities. there's little autonomy in the research mission from the state. and also in many other countries, does not fully recognize the importance of free inquiry and academic freedom. and then we've had unprecedented vast resources put into the system to enable us to build excellence, resources that went far beyond what european nations could do after the war when they were trying to recover from the war. and far beyond what asian nations were able to do until very recently. so what were some of the factors that contributed to the evolving idea of the american university? and there are a few. first of all, until the turn of the century, these were small colleges, basically, now harvard, yale, princeton and the privates, as well as some of the publics, were relatively small, focusing on under graduate education when, interestingly enough, when daniel foyt gilman began to

many universities are already doing that. the problem with that starts with a fundamental fact about colleges, which is we lose money at whatever we do. we are extremely good at losing money and therefore we need money in order to do what we do and the only places that have money to give you to set up branch campuses, tend to be the emirates and singapore. therefore it is no surprise that most of the branch campuses are in qatar and abu dhabi. that is just not enough. we are setting up global research centers. we opened one up in the middle east and beijing. this coming march, we will open up one, rededicate one in paris for europe. mumbai for india and southeast asia, and then in africa. and the idea is very simple. it is to provide opportunities for students and faculty to work on serious projects that are defined by the local, regional institutions, including government. grounded with working with local institution, universities, eths, to try to get us out there and more importantly to build up the experiential level that

i think the university leaders -- that university leaders can overcome that conservatism by the appointmentsmake within their faculty and the kinds of " -- programs that this represents, choosing the promotions of the faculty members who are kind of the most it ventris, the most interdisciplinary. i think that is a charge for you presidents. >> i guess i would agree completely. certainly with the first point. technology, sebelius, internet -- satellites, internet are transformative forces. bair increasing the economic integration of the world, but they are doing other things. i have just written about this as well. the thing about university presidents appointing people is an interesting one because all of us here would say "if only that were true." [laughter] we would be much happier than we are. we are notoriously decentralize, and one of the things that means is that departments and faculty are self-governing in some many ways, including especially by appointments, and yet, going to the point about -- we underestimate the importance of reason and discussion in university governance. one o

many university libraries are cancelling monographs. the journal proportion of their acquisitions is simply squeezing out the book sector. in some places, i won't name them, but they're well known to librarians, instead of a 50/50 relation in acquisitions between journals, periodicals, and monographs, it's 80 or 90 to 10%, so libraries are no longer buying books in large quantities. and that means that serious publishers, especially university presses are selling fewer and fewer and they have given up publishing monographs in many fields, colonial latin america, for example. if you're a graduate student in colonial latin america, you can't get your dissertation published, and no publishing, you perish as the slogan goes. so interesting r there is a kind -- there is a kind of ripple effect moving throughout the world of learning, in which everything is connected with everything else, but it seems to me the new technology is a ground for hope. my own ideal, if -- i'm speaking as a specialist in 18t 18th century studies, is what the 18th c

-universal is the nation's fourth largest -- nbc universal is the nation's fourth largest network. on television broadcast stations in many of our largest markets, as well as an interest in the online video programming provider hulu.com. as these facts revealed, the merger will substantially transform the media and entertainment marketplace and it requires careful scrutiny. that scrutiny boils down, i think, to three basic questions. first, assuming the combination is approved, what benefits will consumers see a year after the merger that they do not enjoy today? secondly, what if anything our consumers receiving today that they will not continue to receive a year after the merger is consummated? and finally, are there conditions that regulators should consider imposing on approval of the merger to ensure that it serves consumers. and if so, what are those conditions? consumers? and if so, what are those conditions? i want to thank our panel of distinguished witnesses for their appearance here this morning. and for their testimony enlightening our deliberations. i also want to remi

with the universities somehow cannot. change comes slowly in academia, and so the harmful effects of our curricula tend to persist. is the decision that new leaders in academia are going to have to consciously. you can either pass on and perpetuate an old and construct a body of knowledge and sharing that it will remain and cause more harm for other generation or two or three, or you can wake up to the responsibility and the satisfaction of challenging the obsolete status quo in your curricula. to break with that potent opiate we've always done it this way. thank you.

universities have to have agendas. they have to decide whether they are going to move in certain directions or not. that is all interval to their academic mission that they have to take consideration. it is whether they go beyond that, postulating about world events that i think they step outside sphere. individually or faculty members have a right to do that, but the universities and should not to that. that, i think, is fundamentally. .. >> of faculties, the quality of faculty performance in the classroom, there's a slight positive corelation between their positive evaluations with the research productivity and the research outfit of those faculty members. so i don't think, in fact, if there's any edge that i would give to the great research universities over the liberal arts colleges is that there is an opportunity for young people to study with the people who are really pushing forward the boundaries and the frontiers of knowledge, creating new knowledge and are less likely to be simply transmitting core knowledge
