and the big question was, is there enough stuff in the universe to gravitationally attract the universe to come to a halt? adam riess: is gravity retarding it enough that eventually, the expansion will stop and then the universe would start contracting? and so we wanted to measure as far out as we could, as far back in time as we could, the past expansion rate of the universe and compare that to today. narrator: like edwin hubble had decades before, the scientists needed to find stars of known brightness so they could accurately measure distances. hubble had used cepheid variables, but perlmutter and riess searched for something called a supernova type 1a. these exploding stars all burn with the same peak brightness, five billion times brighter than our sun. but the trick was to find them. perlmutter: they really are rare. they only explode a couple times per millennium in a given galaxy of a hundred billion stars. and for that matter they don't give you any advanced warning. you don't know when it's going to happen. and then once a supernova explodes, it brightens in a few weeks and it

[

it's the sort of thing where it incurred just universities, especially private universities that canget away with it more easily, it encourages universities to take a cya attitude and for the sake of avoiding damages judgments just to adopt the least offensive to everybody's perspective. so i think the lawyer culture of really can potentially play a strong role in cutting down on speech much like workplace harassment law even outside of universities. if you are the sort of private employer who you don't really care if your employees around the water cooler tell jokes or put little beams or whatever hanging around their workplace, you don't really care about that but now if somebody in your workplace can say hostile work environment all of a sudden batting courage is employers to adopt policies where they say no jokes, no self-expression the workplace and so on and that's very much driven by the need to protect yourself from damages judgments. one other thing is i agree with you and that you identified modern-day defenders of free speech on campus with on the one hand federalist socie

what is the university doing -- .acial relations what is the university doing to improve? >> we have a number of social justice units on campus that are very active. the lgbt community is well represented. of theid, the president missouri student association last year was a gay black man. so he was pretty big on intersection analogy -- intersectionality on those issues. chancellor's diversity initiative for several years. for example, they produced a very comprehensive calendar of religious events for various try to help faculty and students and administrators understand about scheduling and that kind of thing. so we are doing things and we will -- we will expand those activities. that's why we have this audit going. it's a very copperheads of audit to look at everything we are doing that is diversity and inclusion-related. and the cdo that we recently hired has a great deal of experience in the breadth of diversity questions. gaps in what we are doing, we will fill those gaps. but it's my impression that we are trying our very best to address all of the issues. not any du

what did the university base it on? mr. rein: the university pasted -- based it on two things. the demographics of the graduating class which is measurable but not legitimate. it claimed it was basing it on this classroom small class study which they had conducted previously, which indicated that minorities were not present to their satisfaction and a lot of small classes area do -- classes. justice scalia: what do they base their satisfaction, on what do they base, 15%, 20%, or what? mr. rein: they promised it on -- they promised it on good faith. that was accepted and the court said good faith does not suffice. justice sotomayor: i thought the study showed that in 1986 they had more participation in these smaller classes, i do not know if they were small when they were somewhere between eight and 25 people. that was -- there were more of those classes in 1996 than in 2003 or 2002 when they were looking at that study. it seemed to me that that suggests there is less what they took from it, that there is less exchange of ideas in a classroom rather than more, based on this race

but it's the sort of thing where it encourages universities, especially private universities that can get away with it more easily, it encourages universities to take a c.y.a. attitude and, fort the sa the s avoiding damages judgments, just to adopt the least offensive to everybody perspective. so i think that the lawyer culture really potentially plays a strong role in cutting down on speech, much like workplace harassment law even outside of universities. if you are the sort of private employer who you don't really care if your employees around the water cooler tell jokes or, you know, put little memes or whatever, you know, hang it around their workplace, you don't really care about that. but now if somebody in the workplace can say hostile work environment, all of a sudden that encourages employers to adopt policies where they say no jokes, no self-expression in the workplace and so on. that's very much driven by the need to protect yourself from damages judgments. one other thing is, i -- i agree with you in that you -- you identified the modern-day defenders of free speech on ca

talking about media's obsession with the trump university case.ere with reaction, fox news contributors tucker carlson and monica crowley. i would say he was inarticulate inasmuch as talking about the judge and heritage. there are questions about whether or not this judge is radical, has an agenda. his connection, he's not a member of the national council of larossa that believes the southwestern united states should go back to mexico but he's with the lawyers' association, i took a look at what i think is their website in san diego, and they offer help for illegal immigration. i think that's a big issue. one of the plaintiffs in the case, robbins geller, that chairman gave money to hillary clinton's campaign th. that same chairman gave money to hillary clinton and bill clinton for two speeches. >> that's just the beginning, sean. if you do a review of this judge and his associations, donald trump has every reason in the world to be concerned. judge curiel is an obama appointee, a campaign contributor to democrats including the house democratic co

>> no. >> so, what did the university base it on? >> the university based it on two things. it was short of the demographics of the high school graduating class, which is measurable but not legitimate. and it claimed it was basing it on this classroom, small class study, which they had conducted previously, which indicated minorities were not present to their satisfaction in a lot of small classes. >> a seven -- >> excuse me. >> excuse me. to their satisfaction. i'm asking on what did they base their satisfaction? on what base do they base 15%, 20%? >> they premised it on good faith. and that was accepted in the fifth circuit on the first iteration of this case. and this court says good faith does not suffice. >> i'm sorry. i thought the study they did showed in 1996, they had more participation in these smaller classes -- i don't know if they're really small when there are between 8 and 25 people, but there were more of those classes in 1996 than in 2003 or '02 when they were looking at that study. it would seem to me that that suggests there was less than they took from it

he mentions well known university and university professors. fact is we know that some university professors and real estate quote, unquote, experts did meet early on to develop the circumstance lum. donald trump couldn't remember exactly who they were or which names went with which schools. he had trouble remembering what was said in the meetings other than generally they were talking about real estate and these professors bringing expertise to it. what's important is the people that taught the actual classes were not real estate experts. some didn't have high school edge educations and those were the people delivering whatever education was delivered to the students who are now suing trump university. the second one he made the second case was talking about this person who was the lead plaintiff in the california case the lawsuit out in california. she is no longer the plaintiff. she got off the case. she begged the court to get off the case. she says it's because she couldn't handle the stress after six years of being attacked by donald trum

the university does not. student: let's go back to the monument not carrying the same message that it did before. when you just said that they're, you know, excuse me i started thinking about downtown athens guard thatal fair was turning away people because of their race. to me i associate that monument with people like that and to me it's still carries it. prof. nesbit: ok. so what we were talking about, maybe because we're not neo confederates, maybe the monument is reinterpreted. and maybe there is more continuity than what we want to hope for. between the antebellum, jim crow era. and today's athens and university of georgia. it could be. student: and this thing i have with recontexturalizing. name.e, i forgot his arthur -- prof. nesbit: arthur ashe. have our memorial here. we have the other one near the theater. to me that's still divided you still have two sides. symbolically to me -- prof. nesbit: ok. so that's really good. even the placement of these memorials can be -- it's in advertently or maybe pe

over the controversy surrounding trump university. let's go right to it.t new unsealed court documents from the legal actions surrounding trump university. hillary clinton seeing a real opportunity here. >> yeah, and steve, i actually look back at the 2012 democratic attacks on mitt romney being instructive. in 2012, it wasn't that the obama campaign was saying that mitt romney was a wealthy guy, but they were saying he was a wealthy guy who built his wealth at the expense of others and that his policies would pretty much do the exact same thing if he became president. what you're seeing from hillary clinton today and her campaign jumping all over this trump university thing, basically they're arguing that donald trump ended up making a whole lot of money at the expense of average people who ended up having to go into credit card debt, and others to be able to get these classes and this kind of real estate instruction. so you're seeing what could end up being a replay of 2012 where the clinton campaign is saying donald trump not only was wealthy, but ended

now howard will talk to us about free speech on university campuses. [applause] >> thank you for that very generous introduction, and for the record it was, among other things, thanks to a link from your blog to my blog that my blog began to develop a readership that today supposedly includes even some u.s. supreme court justices who are willing to admit to it. on chance they read my blog every day, which is just an awe-inspiring thing to have sun sway but they also read the vola-conspiracy for the record as well. thanks to the emory university school of law and to its federalist society student chapter for inviting me to be here today to deliver these remarks. i have been fortunate to deliver remarks to a range of federalist society student chapters from the harvard law school's chapter to the thomas m. cooley chapter in michigan, and many more in between but it's just a special honor to come home to my alma mater. i was hoping for warmer weather, but i'm happy to be here anyway. turning to the topic of my remarks today, let me begin with some good ne

he talked to students at the emory university law school about academic freedom on university campuses in january. this is about an hour and 15 minutes. [ applause ] >> thank you, curtis. i'm sasha volokh, pro-fusser here, and i am here to introduce howard bashman. howard bashman is a national known appellate lawyer who based in philadelphia and mainly practices before the third circuit. in 2003 american lawyer media named him one of pennsylvania's top 40 lawyers under age 40 on the strength of his appellate litigation practice. now, the senior judge of the third circuit has a book called "winning on appeal" where there are many judges and a handful of appellate lawyers who give their advice about how to write the best possible appellate brief and win your appellate case. and howard bashman is one of the few appellate lawyers who is honored to people in that book. howard bashman went to college in columbia. but more important for us he is a 1989 kwrad out of emery law school. and he was managing editor of emery law school and got the school of law merit scholarship. after that howard c

my idea of a university is something that people get an education and we get universal pre-k and universal education through first three years of college. she's got a balance between the negative. this race will be a run away. >> heidi, can hillary go improve her image? i don't know. the funny thing all time she was secretary of state, her numbers were going up. >> right. >> what did she do differently that's changed into a negative situation for her? >> the numbers coming down were going to come down over the summer as she became a candidate. that's among republican who is decided when she was secretary of state she was okay. she has a big problem today both on likeability and trustworthiness. i think the e-mail report is unfortunately, baking into the cake, the trustworthy numbers that would take a long time to change. i think she can do something about the likeability numbers. i talked to her campaign today. they're doing a number of things they feel to address that situation but like mark said, it's a two pronged approach. on a news day when you have something coming out as explosive a

that's confirmed by the university.try to get more clarity on the status of those confirmed two shooting victims. you know, and certainly, this is going to shake this campus. this is a campus you don't hear about getting into a lot of trouble. sure, you have anytime you put the number of students together, there are always issues. but this is not a campus known for a tremendous amount of violence. this is an affluent area. a lot of people know, have friends who attend this university, have attended this university in the area. and this certainly is cause for alarm here in los angeles. when something laike this happes in the center of the university that is so beloved here in this city, but also known nationally for all that it does with research, the hospital, and the number of students there. >> one of the most important universities in the united states. ucla clearly with a huge impact on california and los angeles area, specifically, but people come to ucla from all over the world. we just got some information underg

that's abysmally low figure, yet all universities that receive federal funds which 99.9% of the universities do are accredited. he found 514 red flag universities across the country where students have a greater chance of defaulting of their student loans than graduating. all 514 of those schools are accredited by the national student committee. essentially an arm of the federal government. they have all the federal as institutions of quality. if you go there you're more to default in student loan debt than to actually graduating from school. what's the answer to this? a few quickly, it's actually limiting federal subsidies, not continually them year after year , come back into the market. by the way, a robust market of private lenders will be a far better arbitrator. all of those things can actually getting you a better interest rates than a uniform rate from the federal government can. so allow a private lending market to come back into play and maybe even have college students do a little part time work from time to time to pay for their undergraduate careers. so i will stop there and tur

some of trump university's workers slammed trump university.ook taught workers how to pressure people into for of mon $35,000 for seminars. it instructed sales reps to target customers with little money. telling them to pay for the lessons with credit cards. quoting here, we teach the technique of using opm, other people's money. the handbook taught sales reps to play to people's emotions, to let them know if you've found an answer to their problems, unquote. one former staffer says he finally resigned in disgust. that was after he said he got in trouble for not pushing hard enough for a couple to hand over tens of thousands dollars they did not have. the worker said the couple would have to use their disability pay to take out the loan. when he didn't have a sale he said another worker stepped in to close the deal. this case is set to go to trial in california but not until after the election in november. a trump campaign spokeswoman says trump university looks forward to using this evidence, along with much more, to win when the case is broug

trump university. a video last night showed a handful of duden's praising the education they received that trump university. students praising the education they received at trump university. trump called the judge investigating his university very biased. he has toldt executives to reopen trump university after the civil litigation ends. normally, campaigns would use their sara gets to put on a full-court press. but donald trump's defense -- campaign to put on a full-court press. but donald trump's defense was donald trump. mark: there is a theory in democratic politics that many of the clinton advisers believe in is that now until the convention is when this thing will be won or lost. you look at what she did on foreign-policy today. you look at this attack on trump u. the press is very sympathetic to the argument the clintons are making, that trump university was a scam. is fighting back in a way that has worked for him before, but the assault has only just begun. if they don't do an after action an

trump and trump university. trump's campaign yesterday was taking shots at the clinton foundation and questions about all of the financing there. is it going to be tough for clinton to use trump university as an issue, given the questions of the book and the forthcoming moving "clinton cash." is that going to be an issue? >> no. hillary is on offense. it's been a phenomenal success. my question has been, how are you going to answer all of these charges? i checked the rule book. make him respond. that's what is happening now. trump is defending against charges of fraud. not only from hillary, his political opponent, but also his former employees. he will spend a lot of his time on the defense because there's so much to attack. >> and do you think, mary katherine, that his press conference with the media, do you think that that was intended at all to distract from questions about the charities or even perhaps more so to distract from this lawsuit and the information being released to the public? >> reporter: yeah,

you know, yale, university of missouri. just some of the crazy thuggishness we've seen where people somehow view themselves as academically more enlightened and advanced and yet they implement these authoritarian measures to excellensilence peo are against them. so we see things like safe spaces and trigger warnings and all these types of things that are totally at odds of freedom of speech and protecting our right of association. unlike to ad that says what happens in vegas stays in vegas, what happens at the universities doesn't stay there. it spreads into regular american society. so these universities that are training tomorrow's leaders are basically training them to think it is normative to have speech codes and speech zones and non-discrimination policies imposed upon private organizations, compelled payments of student fees to groups who oppose your ideas. et cetera, et cetera. that that should all be viewed as totally against the liberties that are secured by the first amendment. no, this is normal. we got to prote

that's the declaration of the salesperson from trump university. schnackenberg says that's when he fit, because i believe that trump university was engaging in misleading, fraudulent and dishonest conduct. schnackenberg cites an kpap of a couple he thought couldn't afford the $35,000 elite program he was supposed to tell them because of their precarious financial condition. he refuse to make the sale and was reprimanded by trump university. then he stood bias another salesperson talked them into buying the $35,000 seminar. i was disgusted, he wrote. connie summer, connie summer, a sales event manager for six months at the school said instructors used high pressure sales techniques, no matter the financial situation of the students. i recall that some consumers showed up who were homeless and could not afford the seminar, she writes. yet i overheard trump university representatives telling them it's okay, just max out your credit card. the declarations are part of an on-going class action lawsuit, one of three saying it was a fraud. trump's defense

i doubt there is a single major university in the country that can match what dr. alvin and his team are doing. enrollmentecord for with a 45% increase in the freshman class. the average ac t score went up. a 33% increase next year. this is surely one of the best growth records if not the best of any major university in america. let's say it loud and clear. the chargers are charging. we think of how a college education -- we appreciate the on oure impacts community. students live here. they bring money with them. then there is a salary of faculty and staff. provided, public schools, churches, health care, businesses, it enriches the entire community as do the of graduates. and certainly the greater huntsville area workforce is indeed exceptional. huntsville is one of the highest concentrations of phd's and forbes magazine calls huntsville one of the top 10 smartest cities in the world. indeed an analysis released just yesterday, huntsville was named the number one place in the country for spend graduates -- for stem graduates. science technology, engineering, and m

the university knows which students, assuming that the students don't know, the university knows which students were admitted because they were in the top 10% and which were not and presumably they have a record of all of the classes and which students enrolled in which classes and so it would seem to me to be possible to determine whether the students who were admitted under the 10% plan were less likely to choose to enroll in the classes in which minorities are underrepresented and the students who were admitted under holistic review. maybe that's in the record. is there anything in the record to show that? >> they didn't study that specifically. when they did the classroom study, they didn't distinguish who was in the class but who was in the class. they counted african-americans and hispanic students and counted asian students but counted them by race. > this is important and well into the substantive issues. may i begin with a procedural point? did you object to the university's request that this case be remanded to the district court? >> we did in the fifth circuit. >> it does se

trump university. campaign posted a video last night that showed a handful of students praising the education they received at trump university. today on twitter, obviously trump called the judge , investigating his university "very biased and unfair.' here's good news for anyone with transferable credit. he wrote that he has told executives to reopen trump university after the civil litigation ends. normally, candidates would use their campaigns and surrogates to put on a full-court press. but donald trump's defense was basically donald trump. do you think that trump, when he -- does he need a full complement to play effective defense? mark: he didn't to get the republican nomination. if hillary clinton becomes president, this week will go down in one of the biggest weeks in the campaign. many clinton advisers believe between now and the convention is when it will be won or lost. you look at foreign-policy, the attack on trump university. it is difficult to fight back the way he is fighting back. the

so could this investigation into trump university really derail his campaign?him right now, trump university, i think it will be an issue for him. is that this is a situation where he's being accused of essentially scamming people as hillary clinton is saying and he's somebody who presents himself as a champion of the little guy. here he appears to have at least according to some allegations taken advantage of people. being unscrupulous. i think that hurts his main narrative. >> in a bit of an ironic twist, the pga's decision to moving to mexico. is this a sign they don't want to be associated with trump? >> i think there is a toxicity to his brand. you think of companies not wanting to be associated with states that are passing anti-gay laws i think everyone is conscious about their corporate brand and so i think donald trump is having some difficulty in some corners and in some corporate corners with his brand. >> quickly, we heard the president predict that the democratic nominee will be clear by next week. do you agree? >> absolutely. i think the president

. >> at trump university we teach success. that's what it's all about, success. it's going to happen to you. >> then. >> the president used the word rattled when he talked about world leaders with respect to donald trump. trump responded by saying it's good, it's good they're rattled. >> we're not doing a trump hotel business deal. >> my interview with secretary of state john kerry and donald trump's puzzling takes on peter teal and what book he says he's reading right now. author michael wolf on his new trump profile when all in starts right now. >>> good evening from new york. i'm chris hayes. tonight new and potentially damaging revelations about trump university, the unacredited for profit education started by donald trump in 2005. >> at trump university we teach success. that's what it's all about, success. it's going to happen to you. if you don't learn from me, if you don't learn from the people that we're going to be putting forward and these are all people that are hand picked by me, then you're just not going to make it in terms of the world of success.

>> my response is that trump university was a total fraud. first of all in new york state, not allowed to use the word university until you obtain the approval of the department of education. somehow the significant liability was filed with the department of state without that approval and took the department of education about four years of being stalled by trump university personnel before donald trump changed the name to trump entrepreneur initiative. >> what made you decide to spend $36,000. >> $34,995 and son paid and subsequently got a refund for 500 when i told them i knew how to organize limited liability companies. >> what were you hoping to get electric from trump university? >> for three days i was at a retreat and james harris kept playing the video we just saw about that trump university is going to teach you trump's methods and you'll be a successful billionaire like him and even said donald trump doesn't need me money from guys like you. he's a multibillionaire and doing this to be benevolent and be successful like he was. >> w

i attend liberty university. i'm studying economics and finance there, and i just want to stay in the conservative movement after i graduate. >> there are a lot of jobs, and most of them you actually don't have to do much, and they pay well. >> my name's aubrey uhas. i go to columbia university studying english and political science and i want to work in investigative journalism. >> great. >> my name is cassie pollack and i go to the university of texas in austin. >> love that place. >> i would like to either be a political correspondent or a watchdog reporter, post graduation. >> okay. at watchdog.org or just somebody who watches, like a dog? [ laughter ] but yeah, there's a lot of places for that. it's good. if you want to do investigative reporting, learn spreadsheets. that's really important, for some reason. >> my name is annie patton. i go to indiana university, and i'm thinking about pr and marketing. >> great. >> my name's jessie fox. i go to hillsdale college. and after graduation, i want to go into pr o

one midwest university dispensed >> so one midwest university, we'll evenings out of this, of this, they spent $21 million to build a new gym that includes an elevated track for running, jogging, jogging, and a 22 person hot tub. college rank looks atb. universities that have the nicest and most plush facilities in the country. they found that one school in the south where students can quote, enjoy some of the best competition pools in the united states, diving while diving wall hot tubs, sama's, a vortex, a lazy river and even waterfalls. if there's not enough excitement of the tiger grotto you can make your way to truman's pond which is a campus beach club which is the perfect place to relax in the sun while listening to music and socializing with fellow students. so it is driving a facilities arms race. no doubt about it. third, another problem withem federal subsidies, it is financing questionable research. when you c small thing. you might think that facility our races are big deal but when you consider some of the questionable research that taxpayer dollars are funding a should rea

it has side the university of north carolina chapel hill. as i read fisher, it invites a more funndamental challenge. for learning more about the kinds of students that are being admitted through these policies, how students are performing, what does the racial makeup of the class look on graduation day? and so i know from our perspective, we're going to be asking for all the material we need to meet the standard of evidentiary support that justice kennedy says we need to have. >> walter dellinger is in the house. former acting soliciting general of the united states. could you talk about politics and bribery and all the kinds of things that we know you know so well? and -- from secondhand experience at best. in the mcdonald case. >> sure. could i just make a brief comment to emphasize something christina said that addresses the mystery that both of you addressed of the shift by justice kennedy. i think you cannot underestimate a fact that christina mentioned. and that is, what happened in the culture. i mean, the larger issue which the cour

. >> colleen boyle is a publicist at princeton university press. colleen, what is coming out this fall from princeton? >> so we have some great titles coming out this fall. our lead title is the curse of cash by kenneth rogoff. he makes the case for phasing out paper money. so he argues that the economy would benefit for getting rid of cash, so think large bills, $50 and up. and his reasoning is twofold. he says that, first, people who are involved in crime and corruption choose cash as their payment of choice. and then he goes on to argue that economies would benefit in times of financial crisis by being able to lower interest rates to be negative, and with a cashless economy this would be more possible. so he goes on to address the challenges that go along with switching to electronic currency and makes a really great case for it. >> what else have you got coming out? >> next up in terms of science we have welcome to the universe by neil degrasse tyson, richard g be ott and michael strauss. so you'll, of course, know neil degrasse tyson as host o

[laughter] >> the american association of university professors voted saturday to place the university of missouri, columbia on the organization sensualist due to the firing of ms. click who is i need muscle against reporters went viral. what is your reaction to this and did the university act properly in the firing click? >> that's a difficult question. the board of curators voted with a split vote to take that action. the board clearly has the authority to govern the university, and so yes, the acted properly. i think it was necessary at the time to do something because the university was really in turmoil and it did not appear as if that turmoil would die down unless something were done with professor click. i think it was an unfortunate -- there are processes, existing processes in place for dealing with faculty irresponsibility, members of the board, some thought that those processes should be used before the board took direct action. but the board decided to do what it did. the aup, i'm not surprised that they censored us. i don't think that what the university did had anything t

universities?hat a about the crackdown on fe expression in turkey? amy: let's get a response from rebecca vilkomerson. we're going to get a response from rebecca vilkomerson. and also, if you can talk about companies that have been successfully boycotted. >> yes, yes. this is a very old, my opinion, tired argument is a israel is being singled out. there's all kinds of trouble in the world. all kinds of fights happening against all kinds of terrible things and struggles in the world. the u.s. is boycotting places like syria and north korea. this as a response to a call by palestinian civil society, the fact this is that the only problem in the world is not mean it is not one that does not need to be responded to. we have a way to respond to it because we are respondnding to e request for solidarity in the face o of these human rights violations. the other thing is, we as americans are certainly complicit in this ongoing oppression and abuse of human rirights because the u u.s. government gives more
