of the university or is against the mission of the university. it will depend. it could be for some people that it is good or it may not have any value. the university's resources may be better used inviting another person. as i said before, partly what is driving this is there are several thousand universities with different administrations with different views on these matters. they will have a ideological .iases as long as there is a diversity across universities, that is fine. people are going to make mistakes and be biased. outside the first amendment, that is not a reason for not having rules or giving people discretionary authority. my position is, that is fine. i am sure there will be errors. i think the university have to be able to do that if it wants to function as a university. keith, do i take it from your book that you disagree that administrator should not be in the business of deciding what speech of high-value and what is not? they would emphasize one element of air point. choices about who comes to campus. has to beeffort settin

we are going to talk about university of maryland university college, which is the public online university that is designed -- here we go -- designed from the ground up to provide affordable, accessible, quality and career relevant education for adult learners and especially for military learners. to understand who we are, i need to tell you the story of umuc. we were established in 1947 at the university of maryland as a department that was charged with serving adult students, particularly those who were returning gis from world war ii. in 1949, we became the first university to send faculty overseas to teach our troops stationed in germany, and this was the beginning of umuc's global reach. by 1956, we had established divisions to deliver higher education in both europe and asia, and in 1963, we became the first u.s. university to send faculty into a war zone in vietnam. in 1970, we became an independent fully accredited university that is part of the university system of maryland. over the years, our legendary faculty have traveled overseas to teach boots on the ground classes in the wa

and 96% of chief academic officers of universities said that, yes, our universities do a fantastic job at preparing students for the jobs that exist today. employers who were given the same survey responded 11% positive. so there is a disconnect. and this is where minerva comes in. now, the funny thing is that we don't have a big debate about what it is that people should be tooled with. there's actually tremendous consensus about that. you can see that consensus in the website of pretty much any university or college in the united states. it's making sure that students have these practical tools, such as critical thinking, or problem solving, or effective communications, the more sophisticated, more rare, would be to actually think about having their students think systemically and think about interaction effects and unintended consequences and deep thinking and analysis. but the problem is, is that university curricula, as they are today, constructed course by course by different professors, different sources, nonrelated to one another, field specific, don't wooiind up doing these th

the university is going to walk away. i do think when we start talking about training people about how to speak, especially extracurricular speech, that we are engaging in managed speech, which is what we do, but we have to tread lightly about how much we think we know, the best way we admit us traitors know how to use social media is -- it ministers -- administrators know how to use of the media. >> i'm pretty humble about how to use social media. i think it has -- there are times when words on social media have the effect of the action, of the first question suggested. and what that invocations are legally and ethically. i don't think we completely understand that. we do include social media, and introduction to social media and using it in orientations. i'm not going to suggest it necessarily is the best training or that we have figured out how to do it, but we recognize its importance. it's interesting to think about who should do it. it certainly shouldn't be something like me who doesn't actually -- isn't a native t

universities are mandated to do. but it's correct that we have an obligation to -- to keep the campuses open to any student organization and the public at large. we have a particular public mandate that you can at your universities limit. so i think you're hearing something of a cultural difference here, that in fact is limited by the law. but what a faculty -- i mean in the classroom it's perfectly clear who would adjudicate. the professor would. >> the particular professor or -- >> up to a point. with the university of california, we do have a religious policy on academic freedom. and what that does is to draw a line for the purposes that michael i think just described between a professors private activities and their professional activities. so that in order to protect the right of professors and freedom of professors to be politically engaged outside of the crass ro room. of course the rubber really hits the road there when the professor is teaching politics. for example, a professor of the middle east who has a

the university has said it was a suspected suicide.o have taken their lives at the university and the deaths have put the spotlight on how universities can help students with mental—health problems. numerous studies have found that students are increasingly reporting mental health illness in further education. one study by the institute for public policy research found students are at risk in a unique way, a cocktail of stressful factors including financial, social and academic pressures. there is a toxic mix of things impacting on this generation. that includes unrealistic expectations they have of themselves. this can be compounded by the fact with the advent of social media, students never have any downtime, and often feeling inadequate because what they see is the highlights of each other‘s lives. universities have a duty of care towards students but what that duty in tales is not clear. i think our duty of care as a university is to be alert to the fact we have increasing numbers of students with additional support needs. and to a

we started a university from day one that competes with the most selective universities in the world. and so the assumption was and what we told our students is that if minerva students wind up getting the same kind of jobs as ivy league students, we have failed. if we're doing the same job the ive students are doing, we're doing a terrible job. our bar towas to that raise tha substantially. it turns out that in the first year just to remind you of what i said before students don't take a single subject matter course. not one. all they do are these competency based practical knowledge skills. so they haven't even started their major. for a first year student, we had 100% placement rate at the kinds of internships that typical ivy league juniors rising seniors would be getting and 90% of their managers said that our first year students exceeded their expectations of any undergraduate that they've employed before, most of them being upperclassmen. these are normal students from all over the world, from every socio economic background you can think of. the difference is the skills they w

no university has unfettered inquiry. it would be disastrous if you asked the pre-frosh to define the curriculum in the chemistry department. we don't have unfettered inquiry in history. there were plenty of topics that would be appropriate for the orange county chapter of the john birch society that will not be on the docket for the american historical association. and a good thing. we managed to freedom of inquiry. so the question for administrators and for professors is what kinds of things do you let people say, what kind of question deal at people ask, and what kind of questions do you see are off-limits? there's always something off-limits. and so i think asking ourselves what kind of freedom for faculty we think should be protected, and what kind of freedom for faculty we think shouldn't be protected. not just speech, expression which of course becomes intimidation which becomes harassment which becomes many things that we would have today an easy time saying is an offense or inappropriate under the things we would

the question is, can universities play in that space and the way universities are structured, students come in age of 18, study for 4 years and go away. there's no concept at universities of lifelong education and to me, this sounds very much like, you know, close to pentagon here, like missiles, fire and forget. in the age of 18. but we need to move to a completely new model of education where universities and education systems can work with learners throughout their careers and not just the first four years. the many other challenges facing the education system. one is the costs are crazy. second is that there's not been a lot of innovation in the education space in tens, maybe hundreds of years, and so edx was founded about -- in late 2011, founded by harvard and mit, we are a nonprofit. the basic mission of edx is to reimagine education. okay, we are a nonprofit. and our thinking is, how do we work with university partners and corporations, governments and other nonprofits to really rethink education as a system? it's not just about us. it's rethink education as a system. today, we

the world's most expensive university. these activists goal was to fight the un bearable debt weighing on american citizens including the housing debt health debt and most importantly the student debt. the student debt problem and i have stated about one point three trillion in total in there about forty million student debtors about eight million of those students are already in default meaning they're not paying out loans people can't imagine social goods or public goods in the united states it's unimaginable that you could have free education so there is a kind of normalizing of a of a i like to say kind of economic violence that people are used to and they just expect that that's the way that is and that's the way it always will be the right to education has been supplanted by the right to access education loans. they emphasize that has had the overall impact of stifling optional political imagination of students because they're so highly and and they have to think about their future in very particular ways that are ti

so any and all of you who are in universities and would like to bring that course to your home university, we would encourage you to visit that website, grab the syllabus. you can also grab the syllabus for the umass course that was taught last year off of their website and adapt it to your home university and bringing in specialists and scholars that you have in your area. but we would love to see this grow and continue to expand to other universities across the country. as i mentioned, we also now have history communication fellows at the lapage center at villanova. i think that's another great avenue for training, giving students on-the-job experience, putting together a podcast, working with you on media, presenting things in five or ten-minute chunks. i think the movement is growing. it's not there yet, but it's starting to percolate. >> that's exciting, and i think there are a number of universities around the country that now have master's degrees in public history for people going into the fields of museums and libraries and other government agencies and research institutes that a
