rather than one unique universe, it might be all possible universes. the truth is probably somewhere in between. >> we have run out of time lut butt let me hit you with a couple quick things. one of which is why does this all matter? >> if you ask my mom, it doesn't, right? >> she wanted you to be a doctor. >> exactly. gives her a headache, all of that kind of stuff. but i think it helps many people get a sense of how we fit into the larger picture. how we're part of this spectacular cosmos. i don't consider it making us somehow small and insignificant, although we are, but take into account these little tiny creatures walking around the surface of the earth can figure out what happened a billionth of a bilge of a second after the beginning and what things will be like a hundred billion years into the future, that to me is an amazing story. that is the most exciting drama discovery we have ever been engaged with. that's why it matters. >> so people want to hear more, there's a world science festival . your wife is doing. and world science university. g

university mound ladies home. it is a temporary measure to allow the study of neighborhood to ensure balance of uses. i'd like to address my concern that a for profit entity without substantial plans for affordability would also -- is a potential purchaser of this site. i will be asking the planning department to examine ways to designate this site as a local landmark so we limit the ability to make significant changes. it is my hope that as a city we can find the right balance of this neighborhood and i am concerned for this neighborhood but beyond that i am concerneded for san francisco. i think that we are fighting for who we are as a city by trying to protect these women and men who have dedicated their lives to making the city what it is totd if we allow them to be evicted. i have stated on numerous occasions my immediate concern for the 27 remaning residents, as well as those who have already left. i actually have worked with the mayor's office, my staff and have even identified $250,000 as part of the budge

funded universities. up here, and i think it will come to that because i think it's going to have to. i don't know how we're going to work anything out without it. but you say that was bad language by a lawyer who got confused or was late or didn't have a good night's rest or whatever it was. so you sort of slosh over that. earlier, you said that there are a number of universities that want to make a certainly number of changes which you then enumerated three or four of them, but then you have also said frequently in answer to questions at otherfora that you don't have the authority to do anything anything. you don't have a vote, which you said here. everything is in the hands of the universities. my cynical self says that universities like things exactly the way they are because they're making a ton of money. in fact, they're making so much money, more than they ever have before, not all, but some that there's about 120 that make most of it. 120 universities. that i don't know how change is possible. how

what do university presidents do when you stop being university presidents?> what a great question. it depends. now, i wanted to be a musician when i was younger is there you were a jazz musician? were you not? >> i wanted to be. you can imagine what a fabulous jazz musician i was if i am here with you today. but i had the chance to sit in for one number with winton marsalis and jazz at lincoln center and one number with billy joel. these guys have lost my cell phone number. >> you are waiting? i am done at cornell. >> if you take that off of the table, i didn't really know what i was going to do after the presidency at cornell. >> you are a cardiologist. >> took care of, still do a little tiney bit teenagers and young adults with congenital heart disease. >> and tae kwon do? >> i was bet hitting things that don't hit back. >> you eliminated jazz and t tae kwon do and you decided to go into the smithsonian. the head of the smithsonian is the secretary, known as the secretary? >> right. >> tell me about this. how did this come being about? >> the smithsonian,

and of those universities in terms of spectrum, howard university would be the largest private university in that secment as well. when you look at the breadth of offering, probably about 105 now that have that designation of historically black college and university, looking among those i would say that we have one of the widest offerings. we have a dive inty school, law school, med school, the only dental school in the district of columbia and a wide variety of undergraduate programs that we offer as well. we are the only one in that category as well. so we really represent a unique offering in that space. >> i read that they are north f the 105 hcbu's there are 200,000 plus students nationwide. you though say you're a private school but you get a couple hundred million dollars from the federal government. why? >> that's correct. back in 19 -- well, with the funding of the school we did receive money from a governmental agency right from the founding based on the charter that was in place at the time. subsequent to that, and around 1922, there was actually an act of congress that create

there are multiple options for university mound. all of those options include keeping the current residents there. i'm a former board member. i came in with this board in 2008. there are viable options. we love the elders. we learn from the elders. it's a continual quality improvement model and will be for years to come if given the opportunity. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. (applause) >>> hi, supervisors. i'm really nervous. i came here on behalf of my friend sandra parker whose mother is at university mound. sandra is new here. she really fights goliath, she's wonderful. i want to say three things. i wanted to say that for me, and i hope for all of us, the elderly are giants. they're a little bent now, but we stand on their shoulders, and we look and we see our history through their eyes. secondly, i want to say that the board of trustees seems so untrustworthy to me an outsider that they cannot put something together for these people. they're the most vulnerable among us and i really think they should.

it doesn't make sense. >> should the university be embarrassed about this investigation? >> oh, absolutely. absolutely. and even more so because it happened in the justice studies department. >> reporter: following the investigation san jose state students organized an online petition. so far more than 300 signatures calling for a more thorough investigation. >> if you're a faculty or a high position employee on this campus that you can get away with anything, that's the message that is being -- >> reporter: some students, staff, and faculty want the university to dig deeper. their concerns center on tens of thousands of dollars in some of these contracts they say dr. correia awarded to close friends and other the situations he made rile running the department. >> there were favors that were given, course releases to professors for bogus service work. i mean, there was just a long list of financial abuses that were never dealt with. >> reporter: the accusations were included in this 16-page whistle-blower report sent to the california state auditor last year. we contacted

national hispanic university. what is happening with that campus. plus, silicon valley latinos. this is your "communidad d "communidad delvalle." >> we begin with the genealogical society. with me here on the show is the president of the organization, welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> so tell us about the genealogical society. who started -- why did we start it, and what is the purpose of it? >> it was started in 2005 in sacramento. and just recently in april, we -- they granted us the opportunity to start a charter here in silicon valley so that we could serve the community here of silicon valley. and it's to provide the latino community with a little bit of assistance on how to trace their -- their genealogical roots. whether it be -- it could be from any part of latin america. >> not just one region we're focusing on? >> that's correct, that's correct. the name probably implies a certain part of mexico, but it would be for all of latin america. they all came here vie at same route. and so it's not only gene

of subpoenaed university presidents from land-grant publicly funded universities up here and i think it will come to that. i think it's going to happen. i don't how it know how workout without it but you say that was bad language by a lawyer who got confused or didn't have a good nights rest or whatever it was. so you sort of slosh over that. earlier you said that there aren't number of universities that want to make a certain number of changes which you have enumerated three or four of th them. but then you have also said frequently and answers to questions at that another forum that you don't have the authority to do anything. you don't have a vote. everything is in the hands of the universities. my cynical self says that universities like things exactly the way they are because in fact they're making so much more money than they ever have befo before. not all that psalm. there is about 120 that make most of it, 120 universities. i don't know how change is possible. how do you make the case for saying that you can be a participant in this process of bringing about change when you s

we do remedial education at all universities of all types. we have programs before the freshman matriculates to give them a little bit of chance to get used to the system. back in the day, i was the first one in my family to complete a college education. neither one of my parents had done any college. so, i wasn't able to turn to them and say, well, you know, what's a mid-term? how do you get ready for this? and students move from different climates, let alone different countries. about 20% of cornell's student body of 22,000 are international students. so, i think we have to think especially about groups like first-generation college students where we want to focus a little more attention and in fact, people like me are always talking about diversity on college campuses which i think is one of the most important things we should stress. the more the diverse the population of students we serve, the more robust has to be the support services to make sure they can get a leg up and get the work done. >> one of the struggles in the last few years

of subpoenaed university presidents from land grant publicly funded universities up here. i think lit come to. that i think it's going to have to i don't know how we will work anything out without it. but you say that was bad language by a lawyer who got confused or was later didn't have a good night's rest or whatever it was. and so you sort of slosh over that. earlier, you said that there are a number of universities that want to make a certain number of changes, which you then enumerated three or four of them. but then you have also said frequently in answer to questions, that you don't have the authority to do anything. it's, you don't have a vote, which you said here, everything is in the hands of the universities. my cynical self says that universities like things exactly the way they are. they're making a ton of money, pacific, they're making so much more money than they ever have been before, not all, but some. >> that there is about 120 that make most of it. 1320 universities. >> that i don't know how change is possible. how do you make the case for saying that yo

so, we've made ourselves available to assist university mount in whatever way we can. and then finally, as the supervisor mentioned, the supervisor, supervisor campos sponsored an add back in dph's budget of $250,000 in the current fiscal year to help place residents in university mount to other appropriate placements. it is important to note that we think that though we pay a $50 patch per person per day, it is likely that a larger patch would be required, something along the lines of $80 per person per day in order to find appropriate placementses for all patients. ~ this would result in about $29,200 a year per person placed in an alternative location. we are committed to ensuring that the remaining residents of university mount are placed in appropriate facilities and we'll do what we can to help the organization as it goes out of business to place patients safely. >> thank you very much. i really appreciate the very thorough presentation and all the work that dph has done. and just one thing about the add back, just want to be very clear that none of that money is

we're in the universe, we are part of the universe, and the universe is in us. and that is one of the most profound revelations of modern astrophysics that there ever is. of science. of science. and i'd like to... if you put together all the revelations of science, that we are biologically connected not only to each other but to all the life forms on the earth, that our molecules are the same molecules that we find in other plants, that this connectivity transforms, i think... i'd like to believe will transform how you view yourself. are you above and apart from everything, or are you a part of everything? because if you think you're above and apart from it, then what's to prevent you from just taking out the forests, and dominating all the creatures of the planet? >> hinojosa: and a lot of people do that, don't they? >> they do that because their ego sits high. but when you study the universe, the ego needs to take a different place. >> hinojosa: there's something else that happens, though. >> becsee'reots.e're r b ethght we were. w're little. a quick example w

what's your sense of how the university mount has handled this situation? >> well, the closures of nursing homes have not been done very well. the closures of a small mom and pops over the 20, 30 years, there's always been availability of space. and, so, i'd say that university mount, the board of directors have not handled this closure very well. there were some promissory statements in earlier public meetings that they would entertain, a letter of intent from a similar institution, and that created a sense of expectation and hope that the family members, that individuals would not have to move out. i think there's been consistent mixed message. other facilities that have closed have not had such a public meeting. i do not know of any large assisted living facilities yet that have actually closed. most of the experience has been with the closure of nursing homes and they have not been done very well. they've been regulatory compliant, but there has been no reaching out to public institutionses for some kind of assistance not to close. and i think universit

for-profit schools like the ashford university and the university of phoenix are among the largest recipits these schools are set up to make money. kate o'gorman is political director at iraq and afghanistan veterans of america. >> many veterans simply are being aggressively and deceptively recruited by some bad actors in the for-profit school sector. >> reporter: she says thousands of veterans are being left with worthless degrees and few job prospects. >> we're not getting the investment that we wanted when we sent these men and women to school. >> reporter: in california alone, the center for investigative reporting found nearly 300 schools banned from receiving state financial aid, that still got g.i. bill money. even schools with no academic accreditation at all. beauty schools, auto repair programs, and dog training academies. together, more than $600 million. the biggest beneficiary is the for-profit university of phoenix, which fails to graduate most of it's students, according to the u.s. department of education. nationally, it took in nearly a billion dollars from the g.i. bill ov

it isn't quite university mount ladies home for nothing. it is a home. ~ isn't called we're one of the families that had to relocate our mother. it did not go well. mom still wants to go home. she's not in san francisco any more. we could not find another facility in san francisco. i think it's tragic, terrible injustice that this facility be closed, first of all, and secondly be reopened as a school [speaker not understood]. thank you very much. >> can i ask you, where is your mom right now? >>> she's at atria [speaker not understood] facility. it's got all the bells and whistles. i think because when you first walk into university mount you don't have all the bells and whistles -- it might even get the effect -- it's an older facility, 1930. made you think of "one flew over the cuckoo's nest." every room doesn't have a bag room. the place is clean. >> thank you. thank you very much. >>> [speaker not understood]. thank you. >> thank you. i'm going to read a few more names. albert sandoval.

it is fascinating to think what form of life might be existent in a universe or parallel universe or another galaxy where they have had a 2 billion year head start. not even recognize them as scented beatings. i just am fascinated by the subject. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for being here. , mr. wertheimer, that can't think of a time and we have had a larger percentage of experts on our panel. thank you both so much for being here. by your am intrigued testimony on the public's interest, and how the idea of life in space is an idea that everyone grasps. it is an ideal hook for interesting young people in science. one of the statements that resonated with me is that it would be a cramped mind indeed if there'snot wonder anyone out there. you said that extraterrestrials are the unknown tribe over the hill. in any case, someone we would like to know more about. i recollect a similar hearing last year when one of my said, the interesting question is, what do we do when we find life on another planet? you, aboutk, both of what the plan is? to we announced to the world? at dewey

university mount is not just a facility, it's a community. a place of warmth and care and loving people that work there and friendships. i urge you to support university mount's continued operation. thank you so much. >> thank you. before you go, can i ask you -- (applause) >> i think sometimes we lose the human side of this. could you tell us just a little bit about your mom? >>> my mom will be 89 july the 24th. my mom was a world war ii [speaker not understood]. there are a couple world war ii veterans there. she's not the only one. bruce is also a world war ii veteran. he would have been here had he been able to. many people that would have actually like to have been here haven't been able to. my mother worked all her life. she worked up until her 80s. she was a transporter for hertz car rental, transporting people all around, people from out of town. so, she's very vibrant. given the fact that she was born with a disadvantaged right arm, it was broken at birth, she's very vibrant. she's very articulate. she knows what's going on with the

she's a resident of university mount ladies home, as i said. the home is not forthcoming with their financial information. when i explored university mount ladies home as a possible placement for what i was led to believe would be my mother's final care facility, it has since become quite apparent that the board now has plans to quickly sell the building, turning the senior facility into a private school. have there been financial records kept that have been kept more easily, i would have considered other residential care facilities to avoid having to move my mother a second time this late in her life. it is a well known fact seniors have frequent difficulty with major life changes. clinical literature suggests that moving to another facility is one of the greatest stressors for all people and much more for seniors. the last few weeks my mother ha expressed increasingly more anxiety about her move and how she'll get her things together. ~ i would additionally like to state my mother and other resnt

the university [inaudible] was founded at that time in history. it has survived world war i, world war ii, the great depression, and many other recessions, the earthquake of 1906 and other earthquakes. so here we are today, we have a building there, they're doing a good job, taking care of elderly women. this makes no sense to eliminate that site. it should continue as is . so where do i go when i'm old? do i have to go to bakersfield? no, it's too far. do i go to sacramento. that's too far. i want to stay in my neighborhood and live in a house where i'm safe and taken care of and when it's time to die, go to the mounds hospice. we have a hospice there too, you can't forget that. so please consider rezoning this area and keep it as is. thank you. >> thanks, next speaker. >> hello. thank you again for having this hearing, this zoning change resolution. i am jacquelyn, i have lived in the port la since birth. the mound has been a part of my life since i was a little girl growing there to sing christmas carols to the ladies that were there. it is an

university of indiana just committed to do that. a handful of others are looking at that, but the reality is that almost no student ever loses their scholarship. >> wasn't that prohibited by the ncaa? >> it was. >> when did that change? >> well, we -- that's one of the things that i think will occur in the coming months. >> in other words, schools did offer four-year scholarships until the ncaa prohibited. >> they did, and i have no idea why that was put in the rules. i have my own notions, but i have no idea. i don't know when that occurred. a number of years ago. >> 1974. '73. >> no reason as to why? >> bill, do you know why? >> i really don't know. >> none of us was in the room. >> in recruiting, it's not a good idea not to give multiyear scholarships. >> i trust the historian. >> i would like to hear it. >> the historical record was that it was driven by the coaches at the biggest universities precisely the 65 biggest schools, because they wanted more control over their athletes. they are driven to win. you have a better chance

i still love the university of arizona. i will always be devoted to them and i think this was just the decision of a few short-sighted negligent administrators who don't see the value of this work. >> a lot of fear out there. >> there really is. >> appreciate you coming on the program. i know this -- it's a challenging time for you. hopefully this will help shine light on it. >> thank you so much. >> up next experimental treatment that doctors say just might be able to reverse the damage from a heart attack. care, if frustration and paperwork decrease... the gap begins to close. so let's simplify things. let's close the gap between people and care. could help your business didavoid hours of delaynd test caused by slow internet from the phone company? that's enough time to record a memo. idea for sales giveaway. return a call. sign a contract. pick a tie. take a break with mr. duck. practice up for the business trip. fly to florida. win an award. close a deal. hire an intern. and still have time to spare. check your speed. s

i want to come back to my days at howard university, days before howard university. it was in 1941 that my sixth-grade teacher took me to a federal courthouse, and i saw a tall, young lawyer by the name of thurgood marshall argue the case of the equalization of teacher salaries in louisiana, 1941. already howard university had started laying the groundwork for what was to come. before that, ralph bunch, one of our professors, was asked to do the intelligence network, to try to understand how america should relate to africa during the second world war. the south africans were supporting hitler. in 1937 and 1939, he took a leave of absence from howard university and spent two years trying to figure out the world. in the process, he figured out the united nations. i really think ralph bunch probably has more to do with every word in the united nations charter and every institution of united nations that still exists today. i'm saying without howard university, -- [applause] without thurgood marshall, judge hastie, and many others, we would not have had any basis for mar

rather than one unique universe, it might be all possible universes. the truth is probably somewhere in between. >> we have run out of time but let me hit you with a couple quick things. one of which is why does this all matter? >> if you ask my mom, it doesn't, right? >> she wanted you to be a doctor. >> exactly. gives her a headache, all of that kind of stuff. but i think it helps many people get a sense of how we fit into the larger picture. how we're part of this spectacular cosmos. i don't consider it making us somehow small and insignificant, although we are, but take into account these little tiny creatures walking around the surface of the earth can figure out what happened a billionth of a billionth of a second after the beginning and what things will be like a hundred billion years into the future, that to me is an amazing story. that is the most exciting drama discovery we have ever been engaged with. that's why it matters. >> so people want to hear more, there's a world science festival. your wife is doing. and world science university. giv

i want to offer my congratulations to the university of california because your record, the university's record of serving low income students, the statistic you just gave, that's a benchmark everybody should aspire to achieve. so my hat is off to what the way the state of california and the university of california has concentrated its effort to support low income students. >> yeah, it's good. thank you. >> one of the top issues that we hear a lot from different states on in higher ed is the governance and the changing nature of governance that many legislatures are considering along with some of the current boards and states. we would like to hear your current insight on governance and where you think that is transitioning in the next two to four years? >> the issue of governance, i guess i would answer that looking at it in at least three different ways. the first way would be how do we coordinate what goes on from p 320 becau through 20. preschool through college. even though 20 -- it's 24 for a lot of places. how do we coordinate that. let me ask out here. so many of you participate

i'm a proud graduate of the penn state university. and it's obviously, we're -- it was so troubling and disappointing to see what happened at my university. i love the university but the athletic department is nowhere you happenedle these kinds of allegations so you got to fix that. walk out this door and fix that. what i'm troubled about when i hear the testimony today and i just need to understand, senator blumenthal asked about the change to an employer/employee model. we talked about compensation, potentially for athletes today. i don't want to see any athletes mistreated. i want them to be able to have a quality of life that's important as they serve and get the education and be able to be an athlete the student athlete model. but as i think about for example, what the nlrb did in its ruling, i knownoeaknow know it applies to private universities but i think about the compensation model, what does this do in terms of the schools where we're not talking about the top athletes that may go on that are the nuvrevenue-again rating spo

marriott, wouldn't it be wonderful to have marriott university, a world class university with your nameon it? can you go to the private sector or the public sector. we have montgomery college which is a great school, shady grove institutions of learning. maybe as the incubator to build our university around. but i want to look into that. we should have a four-year university and we don't. we're one of the richest counties in the world. i want to look into that. >> montgomery community college has a growing population. it could certainly be there. >> yes. it's a great institution. >> we have more to get to, we'll be right back on viewpoint. so stay with us. >>> and welcome back to viewpoint, again, our guest this morning, jim shalleck. he's the republican candidate for county executive. you've brought up taxes. you want to do away with the bag tax. >> absolutely. everywhere i campaign, people detest the bag tax. they really are offended by it. and small businesses are very offended by it because it takes a lot of their effort, the paper work to deal with the paperwork and receipts and ev

universities like colorado state university in fort collins benefit because through the institution, they're able to offer even more varieties of courses of both their on-campus students as well as the surrounding community. and students and families benefit, by having more choices and being able to afford a college education at a time when it's increasingly important in the comblobal economy. competency-based -- global economy. competency-based education can increase quality and decrease costs when done right. ovation and in experimentation, we'll learn what doesn't work, we'll learn what does work. there's good ways to do it and there's ways that fall short. but to be able to get to that answer, that employers and universities and families and our country offer so much promise, we need to allow this innovation to occur and change the restrictive laws that currently lock the bulk of funding into the seat-time requirements of the carneigie units. i want to thank ranking member miller and chairman kline and representative salmon and others for working to craft this bipartisan bill tha
