university's website saying several buildings have been evacuated. the rest of the students have been asked to shelter in place. we want to thank you for watching al jazeera america. i'm del walters. "inside story" is next. the ability to use race legally as a tool in college admissions has been on the run for years. the supreme court's latest decision restricts it even further. after texas, california, michigan. what are the dos and don'ts of the incoming freshman class? that's the inside story. hello, i'm ray suarez. in the real world of college admission, the art, not the science, a lot of variables are taken into account. your high school transcript, sure. can you hit a baseball, run really fast? do you play the oboe or live in the part of the state or country that brings few applicants? did your parents go to our school? an elder brother or sister. what admissions departments don't do is rank all their applicants by academic prowess and accept the top applicants for the 1,000 spots for the incoming fres freshman class. what about race? taking ra

this week supreme court upheld michigan's end of race application at public universities. still with us in new york, howie potter, policy at the century foundation. amanda frost and in sacramento, ward connorly. founder and president of the american civil rights institute. howie potter, has this assault over affirmative action let to more honest conversations about what is at stake and what we're really trying to do for america's graduating high school seniors. that has been a lot of attention to the acceptance rates from minority students places like berkeley's undergraduate program. now they have a 57% mexico-american student body. this is part of the uc system not the lower academic tier program. should we talk about where they'll find a more welcoming atmosphere and one that is likely to nurture their aspirations to finish in four years? >> absolutely. i think that we have seen this conversation shift. when race is on the table colleges unfortunately sometimes talk only about race. in an ideal world you would be able to look at race and social economic status. but the

in the public university. a cake. so with all of that behind us let me now turn to the book. in this presentation will focus on one of the issues that i raised earlier about the present thomas nagy of conservative college students across the country. and i'll do this in particular by drawing down on students political styles on the steve case to the campuses. and when i talk about style, i'm not talking just about students and alums stated ideological beliefs or the doctrine that they adhere to, but also their expressive practices in the service of those beliefs, and i do this because in our increasingly polarized and national political environment and even within the republican party itself, we are seeing that the styles of politics are becoming as important as the ideas of politics. insofar as particular cells can move to animosity, gridlock, lack of compromise. i will open my discussion of conservative college students styles with a couple of vignettes from our data. so, it is a 2007, and members of the col

the university.niversity needs all of the money to carry out its mission. it's one of the top universities in the country. so what is the connection? and the answer is this mrasz is being taught and paid for by somebody else, by people that want to be there. so what is the answer? i think this is intimidation and goes along with the people who are sponsoring this, which are antti union, they are antti worker, and they basically -- >> let me ask you this -- you have got to be one of the most influential alumni of michigan state. university? >> i'm going to do it. this just hand i think on friday. and i'm going to get ahold of the university and say don't be intimidated standing up. do what is right. universities are places for all types of ideas. if the right-wing wants to have class somewhere, they can do that if they pay for it. what is the difference? and the answer is, they want to stifle any idea of unionism as if we can burn books -- >> but union membership has dropped in the last 30 years. why

in the public university. a cake. so with all of that behind us let me now turn to the book. in this presentation will focus on one of the issues that i raised earlier about the present thomas nagy of conservative college students across the country. and i'll do this in particular by drawing down on students political styles on the steve case to the campuses. and when i talk about style, i'm not talking just about students and alums stated ideological beliefs or the doctrine that they adhere to, but also their expressive practices in the service of those beliefs, and i do this because in our increasingly polarized and national political environment and even within the republican party itself, we are seeing that the styles of politics are becoming as important as the ideas of politics. insofar as particular cells can move to animosity, gridlock, lack of compromise. i will open my discussion of conservative college students styles with a couple of vignettes from our data. so, it is a 2007, and members of the col

does this boil down to this is not our parents university anymore? all these people with all their cultures they identify with and celebrate, this is threatening me as a sort of generic anglo white male. >> let me start with the first one. the last one first. it sounds like what you are saying is what has been said about the tea party. there is too much change happening. we have a black president, we have all of these undeserving people around, we want to take our country back. and i am not sure i really see that on these campuses. these campuses are predominantly white. another one is in california. i will tell you that so there is not this kind of multicultural experience that we get in the university of california system. is not my sense that it is just racial politics or for most racial. they really hate gender substitution. they really are concerned about national security and islam. they really despise taxes. it seems to me it is the more general kind of choosing hot-button issues on the western public campus. issues that can get people excited

and universes keep splitting into other universes. and that theory seems to be the one preferred by string theory. and then this lends us to the last question, and the last question is, is elvis presley still alive in another parallel universe? [laughter] well, the answer is possibly, yes. possibly yes. if this theory is correct and the universe splits, then perhaps if one universe -- in one universe the king is still alive. let's take one last question because i have to get to signing your books, and i have to get toward getting photographs, taking care of one last question, okay? yeah. oh, look at that. superhero on his t-shirt. [laughter] >> thank you. my question was if you could put someone's thoughts and stuff onto a disk, could you, like, build them a robot body and put them in there, and they could just live out their lives in a robot body? >> okay, if you can put the mind onto a disk, the question is can that disk then be put into a robot, and then you would have super powers? this is something that cannot be ruled out. if on

the universities will cave. the leader of the university, does she not sense any sort of discomfort inside as she's actually delivering this statement, are they so blind to the criticism, that they don't even recognize it. if i could just mention one other thing, you ask where are the other universities? where are the women's groups? because this is another thing that ali walks about, 20 years ago not even the bleakest pessimist would have anticipated all that has gone wrong where i grew up. no one could have predicted that women's basic human rights would actually be reduced in so many countries as the 20th century gave away to the 21st. what have we done in the united states? just this week, we complained about the dry cleaning bills of women compared to men in the united states? i feel as an educated woman in america that i have a responsibility to help women around the world to achieve at least a basic rights so that they too hopefully one day can debate the gender gap of paying for your dry cleaning bill. >

on the leadership below models of moscow state university is currently ranked among the best universities in the world becoming the cradle of innovation and good undertakings. i wish you good health prosperity and future success in the multifaceted and response book committee's president of the republic of kazakhstan who saw cannot survive. it needs this is a joyless had a lot of influence on me i consider that an assault on the divide is a prominent politician and outstanding statesman did many things to him on behalf of moscow state university the international university sports federation kitties has been to cause extensive operations from the universidad two thousand seventeen on the east the delegation visited all muddy and learn more about the infrastructure of the city. and according to the isu president proudly to lead other structures involved in all realization of the games but the good impression in buys organizers to think about the possible appellants of the objects of the universe writing competitions. it is already known that a research institute of health has been recreate

this is what is being done at brown university, duke university. it put a chip ride on top of the brain. it doesn't hurt because the brain doesn't have any pain sensors. then this chip is connected to a laptop which then controls a wheelchair. this gentleman here had a stroke. he is a vegetable. he cannot scratch his nose. he cannot talk. he cannot do anything with blank plank is the only thing we can do. and brown they put a chip and is running, connected it to a computer. he can now surf the web, reading now, right e-mail, play video games, do crossword puzzles to operate his wheelchair, operate household appliances, anything they you can do on a computer he can also do, and he is totally paralyzed. and we have now connected also at brown university this paralyzed woman to a mechanical arm. she also is totally paralyzed. she can only blank. now, when the connector to a mechanical arm she could pick up coca-cola for the first time in years and in scratcher knows. astor, how you feel. she blinked and plant and she spelled out the words, i want robo

students of washington university in st. louis are them a sit-in to pressure to cut ties with the world's largest coal company. the debate is beginning to make an impact. having the voices of incredible leaders like archbishop desmond tutu only adds to the momentum as we get into the spring. >> some of the institutions have artie taken this step? >> there have been nine colleges that have divested from east to west, san francisco state liberal arts small institutions on the east coast. about 20 cities have made a commitment from san francisco, seattle, the smaller towns across the country. a large group of 17 foundations representing about $1.8 billion have already divested. people have taken up this cause from all sorts of different denominations, taking action. i believe this weekend we will get another good announcement about a well-known college divesting as well. things are picking up speed. we are beginning to see this make an impact. >> professor anderson, talk about the endowment of harvard university, it's significa

thank you for bringing a recovering politician to the university. this university is blessed with remarkable minds who helped me improve the book. i want to thank a national story teller, john casey and good friend and reader ben converse. thank you so much for saving me from a few embarrassments. i am very grateful for my time here at the university of virginia. i want to try to accomplish four things in my opening comments. i want to share a few ideas about the craft of writing. we live in a world of instant tweets and unedited blogs. so why would someone write a book and why would we read them? and why would a public policy professor write such a candid m m m m memoior. i would like to entertain you and read you a few passages from the book to give you flavor on how i share the story. i would try shed the light on the approach i took blending letters home to family on the west coast to a more sober explanation of the politics from nixon to obama. i will try to explain the architecture of the book. and third i want to push back on the conventional

not just in university, everywhere. my goodness, i can't have that through the normal legislative process. i have to get a constitutional amendment to do it, right? >> that is correct, your honor. >> well, so i guess -- i guess that on this subject of equal treatment of the races, we can eliminate racism just at the -- at the legislative level, can't we? >> your honor, the underlying basis of the entire strict scrutiny doctrine in the 14th amendment is to preclude the government, preclude the legislative and executive branch, from making those determinations as absolute determinations. the 14th amendment sets the standards and the criteria by which we measure that. of course you're correct. that's what the 14th amendment does. it sets what the rules are in terms of how race is utilized. but what the grutter case said -- >> and you can't change those rules by normal legislation, correct? >> that is correct. >> so if you're a minority that wants favored treatment, you're just out of luck. >> you have to use the ordinary p

universities continue to attract students from around the world to historically black colleges and universities and the international students and in what numbers? >> hbcu's are diverse institutions. if you go to xavier university you will find that there is a large group of the first and second generation vietnamese who are studying pharmacy in that institution. if you go to houston and in austin texas you will find they have a significant double-digit percentage who are mexican-american many of them are first generation. that is the case at the hbcu's across florida and many of the students are first generation americans. more often than not, hbcu's are attractive institutions to new americans but they are also institutions which have international reputations as places where students of color have had an opportunity to get a good degree and one of the countries that has focused a lot of attention as of late has been brazil with strong programs at howard university here in washington, d.c. with morehouse sending students to study in the u.s. int and those institutionse sending their students

here's a fiduciary for the university. before he even knew about it, it was already basically in the legal system. in the police system. the district attorney was getting ready to open an investigation. what could he do? i think he did what he could do. >> should they have paid the boys $20 million a piece? >> i do not understand that. >> where did they get the money? >> duke is a wealthy university. they have the insurance. aig was the insurance. ironically. theyeclined to pay, and sued. aig won. duke has to pay it. >> you said the house was torn down. why and who owned it? >> a group of these houses inthis trinity park neighborhood were owned by duke alum. two weeks before this party occurred, in this one house that the players were renting, duke bought these homes from the alum because of all the complaints. the fact that a duke alum was renting them. it was going to be rented to non-students, so the issue would go away. before that the implement to rent to non-students, the party occurred. a couple of years ago, they d

[laughter] so let us talk about the two greatest mysteries in the universe; the origin of the universe and what's sitting on your shoulders. inner space and outer space. and last year the politicians got wind of the excitement. we've learned more in the last five to ten years about the mind than in all of human history combined. president barack obama last year got wind of this, and in his state of the union address announced the brain initiative. just like the human genome project changed the course of medicine giving us a disk with all our genes on it, obama announceed the brain initiative with the europeans. $1 billion, that's billion with a b, not an m, will be devoted to creating a map, map of the brain. just think of it, we will have the genome and the connectome, all the neural connections of the mind on a disk. the short-term goal is to cure mental illness. mental illness has been with us since biblical times, even the bible mentions mental illness. but if we have a connectome and we have the genome on two disks, then in some sense if you die, you live forever. you live forever

we -- universities like the university of delaware are the majority of division one. what i worry about is, in this conversation, we're letting five conferences potentially through the media drive the debate. for colleges at our level, i'd like to see, as i said earlier, a renewed focus on the student athlete, and that means not only the success on the field but their success in the classroom to make sure that they can get the major of choice. sometimes we've set this up where it's a little difficult to do. we have geographically dispersed conferences whether on trains or planes, i think we need to concentrate on geographic consolidation so students are away from campus so they can get a degree that involves a lab or a research project. that's what i did when i was a student athlete and led me to the career i have today. >> brown: patrick harker, president of the university of delaware, kevin blackistone. thank you both very much. >> thank you. >> woodruff: again, the major developments of the day. government forces in ukraine regained control of a regional headquarte

it affects only private universities, not the university of tennessee. about it would affect wake forest, where the senator from north carolina was an outstanding football player. it would affect vanderbilt, where i attended. and i guess our message to the ncaa and intercollegiate athletics is we hope that they will understand that the opinion of one regional director of the national labor relations board is not the opinion of the entire federal government. that's the message i would like to tkhr-fr. and i would refer back, and then i'll go to the senator from north carolina, 25 years ago when i was president of the university of tennessee, i was asked to serve on the commission on intercollegiate athletics. it was headed by bill friday and president of notre dame father hessburg, to take a look at intercollegiate athletics. the major conclusion they came to was presidents need to assert more institutional control over athletics. but here's something that this group of university presidents and others emphasized. they said "we reject the argument that th

one is that universities, private universities are getting public subsidies.here's an important case that there's a duty to the public. and then in terms of thinking about our economic competitiveness as a county, as a whole, as universities think about what it means to position the nation and the workforce, we can't leave behind most of the country. we move towards a minority nation. it's important that universities figure out a way to include everyone as part of the plan. >> you know some of the schools - i think the university of colorado, in boulder, has implemented such a programme. i think there are other universities doing the same. what do we think of the approach. is it too early to gauge results at this point? >> boulder is a great example with strong results. they have a normal race-based affirmative action. they have implemented a socioaffirmative plan. it looks at two factors, looking at a disadvantage index and overachievement. they are looking at factors of a family's socioeconomic status and parent income and seeing how do the students achieve

the university is not saying why they were let go but the university quote the here are not understood>>> they are looking for healthy food for lunch. walter junior high held an official ribbon cutting and they will have one by the new items. >>> it is distracted driving month and sal has a perfect example of how dangerous this was. >>> chp told us, we have a hive picture near newark. apparently she had lost cop son trigs -- concentration because she was looking down at her phone and the carpal ran into a center median or flipped over the car and eastbound to 84 just one lane before before the exit and they will load it on to the flatbed truck and the laid did the -- they did mention it is about an 8 minute timeframe getting onto the i am in mitts froe time, now let's go back to steve. >> all righty good morning the last couple of days were fun, thunder lightning snow, and things are calming down a little bit and there are still -- there is still, low clouds, more likely 40s and mostly cloudy laid later this afternoon and -- later this afternoon and we are expected to here is a part or

. >> new revelations about brandeis university and exactly who pressured the school to yank an award from the woman you just heard. >>> plus. >> i'm trying to help him knuckle down and buckle down for college. >> new e-mails raising ugly questions about a national news network one of the president's closest allies and what was supposed to be an unbias documentary. a big night on "the kelly file" starts right now. >>> breaking tonight, nearly 1/4th of the united states senate rising up concerned over what could be the biggest executive order yet as the white house reportedly plans to by pass congress yet again. welcome to "the kelly file" everyone, i'm megyn kelly. the news broke late last night and not seen much coverage since. the white house may change the rules on deportations all by itself. the president first announced a review of the nation's immigration policies back in march, and just yesterday, 22 republican senators sent a letter to president obama expressing concerns over that review. the letter even accuses the obama administration of displaying quote an astonishing disre

to our great universities? >> because i was amazed at a couple of things as i did my research into this. number one, duke, an institution is not that much different than a wall street bank that i have written three other books about. it is a very secretive institution. they have their myths and ways of doing business. they have a lot of power in the state of north carolina and nationally. they have a huge source of wealth in their endowment which is approaching $9 billion in the midst of a $3 billion endowment campaign. >> wherewith would that put them nationwide? what certainly in the top 10. i think m.i.t. has $10 billion. harvard has $33 billion, $34 billion. they have an ambition to be in that league. that is part of the story. part of duke's ambition. the school is only 75 years old. it is not at the 350 year old school that harvard is. part of the reason that duke has the new president is because he was the former dean of yale college and well-respected educator and to duke wanted to get into the top elit

stanford university, the university of california, the university of san francisco. knowledge factories together with manufacturers created one of the greatest hotbed -- probably the greatest hotbed of innovation, creativity and new wealth creation this the history of this country, and perhaps in the history of the world. we want to create these kinds of hubs all over the country. putting together the academic community, the business community, to develop the capacity for innovation and creativity. i should mention it's not part of this bill, but the other thing i think we have to do a lot of thinking about here is the skills gap. i got a call right after my election from a chamber of commerce director in southern maine and he said senator, we wanted you to come down and talk about jobs and i said okay, i will and i was prepared to talk about how to create and add jobs. he said no, it's not that. he said the problem is we've got 500 jobs and we can't fill them. these are good-paying jobs in manufacturing and we can't fill them. because the people that we need aren't

the university is sweeping them under the rug. the department of education not holding them accountable and students being the ones saying this is okay. when you have 18 and 19-year-old men and women holding the government accountable for rape - it boggles my mind. >> the department of education has made an effort. >> yes, but they have never really done anything. there's no teeth behind it. that we have seen. >> has any university had federal funds withdrawn? >> no. >> never. >> no. >> the federal complaint against unc received considerable media attention and social media has given a voice to a network of survivors, many with the informal help of annie and andrea filed their own come plaint at the department of education. the office for civil rights, tasked with enforcing title 9 opened investigations on sexual assaults on 51 colleagues and universities. doubling in the last six months. to many, there is an assistance of a turning point. >> andrea and annie started pulling things together from all over the county. and normalized

i teach at every university, and if you go to any university in this country, compared to the deeper religious universities, they have horrendous abuse of women on campuses. sexual abuse on the campuses is hoer renne does, and it's not ever reported unless the women overcome the president and the dean who discourage rape, and a few boys on campus inclined to rape when they get to be a university student, they know they can do it and get away with of it. only 4% of the sexual assaults on campus are reported, and very few of those result in punishment of the rapist. the same thing happens in our military. in 2012, 26,000 sexual abuses in the military, 300 resulted in punishment of the rapist. that's about 1%. so, you know, we don't even want to address that, and until recently, they tried to remove the control of the commanding officers to decide which station would be and fail, and they still have control, and the same thing applies on university campus where presidents of the universities, no malter how enlightened they are, they don't bring discredit to the university or allege or l

even before the second quarter issues have been cast in reporting live from korea university and some hospital the rescued student wrote on my high school. reduce hospital receiving treatment meanwhile the loss for the deceased students are also taking place at the hospital. i know. i voted for. i'm going to war. on monday. i don't. i got. i'll be looking to fix it they sought on our humble lifestyle so cool because santa was. he who carried the coffin arrived at the hospital. but sending does not come from. the use of the deceased requested that the media respect their privacy. and it was difficult person and to do the coverage on iraq. what's the greatest family alive. yes years' time just couple of minutes ago another victim another body has just arrived here at the city of einstein here on the anchor a university of iceland hospital. i do not have specific details as of now but i wanted to be updated in a later news cast meanwhile a total of eleven victims has been released from the state of einstein including this one right here and that's all for now and it has been saved and th

a student meeting is underway at the technical university. gabby announces a protest on plaza venezuela and she denounces the biggest problem facing the nation. over 50% inflation, shortages of milk and flour. murderld's fifth highest rate. corruption and human rights abuses. as always, the meeting culminates in a call for the maduro government to go. gabby believes she was long ago placed under secret service surveillance and that she is the target of paramilitary groups. youth centernning in the southeast of caracas exemplifies the shop is ideology. it offers workshops for youths from impoverished districts sports. music, art, and it is open to everyone, but of identifies itself as socialist. wakes it is fear that it is a socialist collective, she says. a it is clear that it is socialist collective, she says. here you learn how to work together in a collective to achieve fundamental social change. what about those who don't share that ideology? the rally on plaza venezuela has been banned. gabby stays away. she things it will be too risky t

the university of michigan made that distinction. if you were black, hispanic, or native american, you were somewhered by one standard. if you were anything else, you are judged by a separate entire standard. it later became that you needed 100 points to be accepted to the university of michigan. a perfect act or sat score you should an applicant 12 points, an outstanding essay between one and two points, a legacy because that has been a subject, earned two or four points. if you were black, hispanic, or native american you were automatically awarded 20 points. i'm fine with the university of michigan doing away with legacies. >> respond to her on that. >> i think if you look at k through 12 education and you look at the experiences of black and latino high school students in the state of michigan, you compare any detroit school to any majority suburban white school in the state, the difference is night and day. what those points represented was recognition of the inequalities in the society that still structure opportunity. it wasn'

this is what's being done at brown university, duke university. they put a chip right on top of the brain. it doesn't hurt, because the brain doesn't have any pain sensors. then this chip is connected to a laptop which then controls a wheelchair. this yes han here had a -- gentleman here had a stroke. he is a vegetable. he cannot scratch his nose, he cannot talk. he cannot do anything but blink. blink is the only thing he can do. at brown they put a chip in his brain, connected it to a computer. he can now surf of the web, he can read e-mail, write e-mail, play video games, do cross word puzzles, operate his wheelchair, operate household appliances, anything you can do can on a computer he can also do, and he is totally paralyzed. and we've now connected, also at brown university, this paralyzed woman to a mechanical arm. she also is totally paralyzed. she can only blink. and when they connected her to a beingal arm, she could -- mechanical arm, she could pick up coca-cola for the first time in years and scratch her nose. and they asked her, how d

credit will change and that's what i thought the party opposite was in favor of universal credit. if they've changed their mind about that as they often do about other things perhaps they should tell us. >> thank you, mr. speaker. the number of apprenticeship starts to my constituent is now at a record high, next week i'm holding the second rally a package of their. with the prime minister agree with me that investing in apprenticeship and skills is a critical part of our long-term economic plan to get local people in the flat country the skills they need to get a good quality jobs and to secure their futures? >> i certainly join my honorable friend in what he says. we've seen 185,000 apprenticeships start in the west midlands under this government. we have now got. we have no go 1.6 million nationwide tour on target for 2 million during this parliament to i want to make sure we continue to grow apprenticeships and we continue to see an increase in the quality of apprenticeships. and also better information for young people in school about the sudden the pathway they want to take

so the university of michigan could be trying harder. but our point isn't to get into a debate about whether preferences are a good or bad thing, because that's not what this case is about. the question is whether the people of michigan have the choice through the democratic process to accept this court's invitation in grutter to try race-neutral means. >> mr. bursch, could you go back >> well, while you're on seattle, can you -- i have difficulty distinguishing seattle. here there's a board of trustees. is that a distinguishing factor in the case in which a principal distinction could be made? >> i think it's a distinguishing factor. you know, kind of sticking with how hard is it under the new political process. and i think the chart that we have on page 17 of our reply brief explains that it's really easier to change race-based admissions policies now than it was before section 26. and that's one basis. but i think the more fundamental basis is to say, you know, what seattle is about. and -- and if you indulge me, i'm going to suggest

today, that responsibility is on the back of colleges and universities. it is a distraction from the work they need to be doing which is ensuring that their students graduate with the skills and capabilities needed to compete in the 21st century. administration is thickest -- focus on just parent plus and made it such a bad fix and told us a little bit about it? i think they need to defend. has hadwe know it adverse impact on the students and their families were trying to get a college education and that is why uncf is continuing to speak on this issue and why we continue to raise dollars to help those students with private scholarships. >> one more question about president obama. president obama recently launched his my brothers keeper initiative aimed at " tto help more young men of color facing especially tough odds to stay on track and reach their full potential." -- is the united negro college fund a part of obama's effort and you see this as an area where you can play an important role? model partnership and civil disagreement. with the obama admini
