back in the 1930s, the student university in chicago, the current president of the university of chicago is here today and invited william foster and the party's presidential candidate to speak and this led to the protest criticism, the president defended the decision saying the students should have the freedom to discuss any problem that presents itself through open discussion rather than inhibition and taboo. when i was a student in the 1960s at vanderbilt university in the society wanted my political science professor fired. they fought world war i was a mistake and vanderbilt defended him and he stayed. i also remembered the poet spoke out on campus, horrifying pairings and some students thatt he was allowed to speak and wrote when he was a student at the university o university of e 60s, the american association of professors rose up because the professors were being squelched. in the mid-1960s, senator ted kennedy, later chairman of the committee and leader of the democratic party was shouted down at the university of wisconsin not allowed to speak that he was considered as not lib

universities ordered to guarantee free speech. this is from the universities ministerjoejohnson.sities ministerjoe johnson. this was an interesting story. he has done an interview with the times, saying that universities must pledge to uphold free speech on campus otherwise they will face being blacklisted by the new higher education regulator. this obviously comes at a time when really quite well— known individuals such as jermaine greer the feminist, peter tatchell the gay rights campaigner, have been blacklisted by a certain university groups. in their case, for their views on transgender rights, but you know, ithink for their views on transgender rights, but you know, i think a lot of people felt really uncomfortable about this, because while the concept of safe spaces that universities really important and they need to be inclusive places, also if we can't have free speech at other universities, which are supposed to be where we foster the next generation of thinkers and challenge ideas, then where can you? there was a study this year that said 90% of universities are restri

but the right honourable gentleman talks about universal credit and talks about pausing universal credituced universal credit? it is a simpler system, it is a system that encourages people to get into the workplace. it is a system that is working because more people are getting into work, and pausing universal credit won't help those people who will be helped by going to universal credit, getting into the workplace, and bringing home more pay for theirfamilies. my constituents in north west durham have endured the brunt of posterity for many years. now, the dwp proposes to roll—out the universal credit system in my constituency over christmas, the toughest financial time for residents. my question to the prime minister is this. is the roll—out a matter of gross incompetence or calculated cruelty? prime minister! the dwp has been rolling out universal credit. as it has done so, it has been listening to people about the concerns that have been raised. i am pleased to say that we are seeing a much better performance from the dwp. it is no good the honourable lady shaking her head. the figur

they're pushed off into university ave. the university city area. it is dark. they're not familiar with it. here is your best alternate. if you are coming into the city and you typically go eastbound using the schuylkill, i would jump off at the vine street expressway, take 676 east over to 95 south, and that will get you down into south philadelphia. you will have connections to the bridges, which would be one option, why you would be going that way, or down to the airport. that's the way to go. 676 east to 95 south. and that will get you around that closure again, the eastbound lanes, whenever we have a fatal accident early in the morning, it is going to be some time, at least maybe two hours, before they get traffic moving again with an accident investigation, and again as we saw from the scene just few moments ago, the vehicle and the motorcycle still there in the travel lanes on the eastbound side. there is really no other good alternate. the other issue the opposite way on the schuylkill. working at south street, but at least one lane open there between s

the gentleman talk about universal credit. why have we introduced universal credit?t is a simpler system that encourages people to get into the workplace. it is a system that is working, people getting into work and causing universal credit won't tell those people helped by growing to universal credit, getting into the workplace and bringing home more pay for their families. >> there is a long list of people urging the prime minister to pause universal credit including citizens advice bureau, the trust, john major and 2 dozen of her own back centuries. they can vote to pause universal credit. public sector pay cut is causing real suffering and staff shortages. last week secretary announced the nhs packet was scrapped but when asked if the nhs is going to get extra money to fund any agreed payraise he replied that is something i can't answer right now. this is right now. the prime minister is here right now. how about an answer right now? >> as i say to the right honorable gentlemen and the house in the past the way in which we vote the whole question of public sector

and pausing universal credit won't help those people, who will be helped by going to universal creditg into the workplace, and bringing home more pay for their families. all parties agree with the principle of universal credit, simplifying the benefit system. but a parliamentary debate later revealed more divisions. birkenhead food bank, after talking to other food banks who have experienced the rollout, believe they will need 15 tons more food this christmas. the fundamental problem of a minimum—six—week wait. and that means there are constituents who are living on the edge, and we're talking about real people's lives here. back in newcastle, the political toing and froing seems a world away, but with ministers intent on pushing on with the rollout of universal credit, the impact of that decision is likely to become very noticeable. michael buchanan, bbc news. the us has said it holds myanmar‘s army accountable for the deepening rohingya refugee crisis in bangladesh. hundreds of thousands of people have left their homes in myanmar, where they had faced a military offensive after clai

and when they come to university, they are ready for the challenge is a university course presents.a lot of questions. what proportion of those who want to do the course then go into trinity? a very high proportion, over 90% or so would come into trinity. it works very well for admissions. when the students come into trinity, after their one—year foundation programme, they do very well as part of the student community. so you haven't had to lower your standards to take those students into the university? you have to understand, we did not think that would ever happen. these students are very smart, capable and bright. theyjust didn't come from a traditional background for entry into university. as soon as they get in, they do very well in many cases better than students who come in via the normal route. we want the students as they bring value, and ability, into the university student body. we aren't doing itjust through the goodness of our hearts, we want to bring them in because we know that all students in university would benefit from their presence. a quick answer if you would,

they're from universities that are incredit by stressed universities. so, big picture, we have to start reinvesting in higher education that's just appalling. a group in california called california's promise that says if every middle class person in california paid $39 more a year in taxes, and that money was dedicated to the university of california city, cal state. we could hurricane to 1980 las level support which is almost free tuition, or not adjunct faculty all over this place. so it's a mall individual investment for an amassive social good. so that's one thing. two, there are really simple -- this is like one of the few talks -- situations i've ever been in, in the last year wishes haven't done what i call think fair share. an experiment you do with little -- index cards and have audience -- i teach a pedagogy in the class. i did it with 6,000 international baccalaureate team if in philadelphia 76ers auditorium to show how a very simple exercise that aloud everyone to have a voice in a room and to have a conversation with another person, alread

that is not healthy university environment because the university must protect students against that but at the same time being in an open space for all ideas the university can create the opportunity for safe spaces students can find, you should know when you walk into when you shouldn't find yourself sitting at a table and discovering you think a certain way, that is out of bounds. that does undercut the role of the university to encounter things that are difficult or challenging. jelani cobb is right that we have 3 attentive to dangers we haven't seen in our lifetime around marginalization of particular communities come arising of authoritarian tendencies. turning a blind eye to that is a mistake. at the same time, empowering the university, this government, social media platforms to police and regulate speech, to draw lines, decide what is out of bounds surrenders our right and will be used in ways that are the opposite of what we in this room might be aiming for. >> not sure it is that complicated. you can safe space in a way that is not common to how i understood it on college

pausing universal credit will not help those people who will be helped by going to universal credit,bringing home more pay for their families. and the government say that half the people on universal credit do not have to wait six weeks for their money. because they are entitled to advance payments. although these come in the form of a loan. and it is notjust opposition mps who are concerned about the roll—out of universal credit. more than 20 conservative mps have written to the prime minister setting out their worries. many of them would like to see universal credit paid within four weeks rather than six weeks. and one of those potential rebels suggested that even more pressure would now need to be applied to her own government. i and several of my colleagues will keep making the case to say that it is undermining the principles behind universal credit because if people get into debt, and have real difficulty right at the start of the process, they are unlikely to conservative rebels are likely to join forces with labour today. but they hope the government will make more concession

effective universal credit for a while.ess its impact? i think it has been a chaotic shambles. we have experienced it since 2013 and from very early on we engaged with... i was leader of the highland council at the time and from very early on we engage with uk government, had meetings with ministers, tell them about things going on, the rent arrears starting to build up, and over the years to 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, all of thoseissues 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, all of those issues we raised with the uk government have failed to be dealt with. apart from today when we finally got a concession on the helpline and the outrageous costs that people have been paying, because most blood universal credit use mobile phones, to actually contact the help, which is very, very difficult to get —— because most people on universal credit use mobile phones to actually contact the help. i think they should pause the help. i think they should pause the universal credit roll—out, come to inverness, i am holding a summit and have invi

university is about learning new ideas, freethinking, exploring and it's becoming, some people say, university people say that is not what university should be about. i would have to completely disagree. the reason people... i pay 9.25k a year. i've paid not only for my education but an experience. a social setting that is comfortable for myself, not only for the one beside me but everyone. it should be inclusive. especially with what is going on in america. we are hyperaware of what's going on there with essentially a very radical individual being elected as essentially the leader of the free world. and so a lot of us become emboldened by the fact that we don't want that to happen here. and so it pushes us to pursue our ideas of equality even further. is this just the latest front in progressive student politics or is the very idea of university under threat? joining me now isjournalist paris lees, nick hillman the director of the higher education policy institute, comedian kate smurthwaite and joshua jackson a student at queens college cambridge. good evening to you all. paris, as a trans wo

so just what is universal credit?first piloted in 2012, was meant to be fully up and running by this year, and fully rolled out by 2022. essentially, it rolls six in work and out of work benefits into one simpler system. also, it aims to encourage work by ensuring that claimants receive more take home pay if they work extra hours. there is deep frustration in downing street that universal credit is under constant attack, because ministers feel it is a highly progressive reform, thanks to the way in which it in centre rises work. the work and pensions secretary david gauke believes he is involved in something of a rescue mission to salvage this landmark reform. in his eyes, many of today's problems were caused by the failure of the architect of the scheme, iain duncan smith, to appreciate the vast challenge of introducing such a wide—ranging reform. david gauke is not giving much away at the moment, but downing street is looking seriously at implementing the main demand by tory backbench critics to reduce the initial p

that's not a healthy university environment. i think it's the responsibility of the university to protect students against that. you know, but at the same time, you know, being an open space for all ideas. so i think the university can create the opportunity for safe spaces, students can find those spaces. you should know when you walk into one, you shouldn't fine yourself suddenly sitting at a table and discovering that, you know, because you think a certain way, you know, that's out of bounds. i think that does undercut, you know, the role of the university -- [audio difficulty] difficult, that are challenging. you know, i think jelani's right, that we have to be attentive to some very real dangers, you know, that we haven't seen in our lifetime around marginalization of particular communities, rising authoritarian tendencies. and i think turning a blind eye to that is a big mistake. but at the same time, empowering the university, 'em purring particularly -- empowering particularly this government, empowering social media pla

the roll—out of universal credit is going ahead.eir first payment. yesterday, the government suffered a symbolic defeat in parliament, as opposition mps voted in favour of pausing the rollout of the new system. in theory, claimants should expect to wait around five to six weeks for theirfirst payment — that includes a seven—day period in which new claimants aren't entitled to any money at all, plus a one calendar month assessment period. in reality, many new claimants are being forced to wait much longer. anna was moved on to universal credit from other benefits a few weeks ago. she says for her, the impact was devastating. i applied for it and they said ok, i got all my evidence and everything and they've turned around and said i have to wait between six weeks and three months before i get a payment. and so for the last two—and—a—half weeks, you haven't had anything? nothing whatsoever. how have things been for you in that time? very, very difficult. last weekend, we have had no food. my five—year—old's last food was school dinners

scott: duke university shut down its men's lacrosse program and the university of virginia temporarilyhuttered all fraternities all after contested claims of sexual assaults. universities across the country have struggled with how to handle, and been more than a tad confused by, a 2011 obama administration "dear colleague" letter that dictated universities be more aggressive in dealing with those title ix assault complaints. the obama administration threatened to cut federal aid to schools that didn't do more to investigate and potentially expel students. and that meant not just leaving it in the hands of police. enter a new administration with a potential block. sec. betsy devos: we know that this policy has not worked in too many ways and in too many places. and we need to get it right and so we are determined through the course of conversation and the course of discussion with all parties to ensure that whatever is done in the future will address the issues and get them right. scott: what are your thoughts about the decision by betsy devos to reopen essentially what's going on with
