we are a southern state, and even though we are a university town, this university town has a history of slavery, and post-civil war repression of the african-american community. so it is an ongoing story, and people today are rallying around a demand that things finally get better, that they begin to have a better relationship with the police. for the first time, charlottesville established a police review board, a group of citizens who will review complaints about police conduct. as you probably know, the city, after 2017, elected an african-american woman who ran as an independent, with no previous political experience, but she won handily, which is unusual in charlottesville, a city of democrats. she was elected, and the city council which chooses its mayor selected her for the job. i think in part because our council meetings had become so crazy, there was so much fighting going on, catcalls from the audience, that i think there was a feeling that nikuyah walker, the candidate, might be able to control the passions of the crowd. in fact, even she has had difficulty. but i would s

it is strange that universities mentioned in this story are russell group universities with long heritage good reputations. ones who you would expect to be turning pupils away. bristol and leeds and liverpool. there is something really striking here which speaks to the heart of what universities are on what they have become since the cap on fees was raised first by tony blair and then rapidly by david cameron and nick clegg. can they take on as many students as they one question that should they want to take on as many students as they want? might the university ‘s something putting off people? since labour and the tories raised fees, the culture at university has changed. before fees, stu d e nts university has changed. before fees, students would apply and they wanted a university experience so if they did not get into one university they would go to another. a lot of stu d e nts would go to another. a lot of students are thinking if they do not get into theirfirst students are thinking if they do not get into their first choice university, why not do an apprenticeship or go to europe a

was looking around universities.oud of myself getting in. there's been a lot of changes to a—levels. did it have an impact?” think doing it all at the end of two years was difficult for me because my memory is not the best thing in the world so i had to do a lot of work and revision and there was a lot of late nights staying up and putting in the work, because when you go home there's a lot of distractions. in the end, it paid off, but at the time i found it difficult, so i'm proud. hannah, i know you had a sleepless night and we re know you had a sleepless night and were logging on early to find out how you got on. i was up three minutes before the 6am time when the results came out, the longest three minutes of my life, but such a relief to get the three a—level a grades i needed to get to oxford. lot of changes you as well. was it difficult for students? was difficult for students? was difficult because we had to do the exams at as—level, so we had to do the same exams again and then the a2 exams, so the same exam

ready university life.i got on fine. there was a bit of an error in the exam but they sent a letter although that didn't affect me. it all comes down to what letter grade you got that that kind of doesn't count the effort you put in over two years, i've said to my friends, it does not matter what the letter is, you what hard know work you did sojust letter is, you what hard know work you did so just focus on that and be proud of that, be proud of the letter, whatever it is, whether it is and east are all a u. is to remember getting my a—level results, how big a day is this were you? life changing. the first day of the rest of your life! now we actually have to live with that our parents keeping an eye on us we literally have to manage everything! watson, guys. let's speak to the principle of the college, mike kirkbride —— well done guys. a fantastic day for the college. it's great, we top league tables and get national awards but what we do is we just interviewed, we teach our people and try to have them de

we need people in our universities, they are world —class in our universities, they are world—class universitiesot this problem that, they call of the buyers‘ market, because the universities can‘t fill the places, each student is paying £9,000 a year. —— they call it the buyers‘ market. the rate of interest they pay is really high. you know, i think that there are big issues. this was not how this system was meant to work. this was meant to be that the top universities paid a — charged top fees, whereas other universities had a competitive market. every student, whatever university you go to, pays £9,000. we've not discussed at any stage whether everyone needs to go to university. we need to strengthen out university. we need to strengthen our vocational education and so on. we are starting to do that. there is increased recognition now that actually... they need to do it. it makes a lot of sense. because a lot of people are necessarily not going to be academic, or don‘t want that kind of experience, we can offer them a different experience, which could even be more valuable in the labour marke

are you saying that universities are aggressive or liberal in general. progressives rule higher education. and if you just looked at the numbers. i think that's impossible to disagree with that statement. and it's even more true in the social sciences and humanities. in some fields if you just take partisan idaho as a proxy. in sociology. for instance. they outnumber republicans 40-one. in many disciplines like sociology and literature and history. and even in other distant compared to the percentage of the population. what was the approach in passing on the right. we wanted to study the lives of conservative investors. also research on how left-leaning the academy is. but there was no research really on what conservatives looked like. and what their experiences were. particularly we decided to interview about a hundred 53 people self-professed how did you identify them. that was actually difficult. in some fields economics are easy. you can come up with a list of 25 or so conservative economist. political scientists are not actually that difficult eithe

drew: it is about being part of the university over a long time, and living a life in a university where came to realize the wonder of education and opening minds and contributing to the growth and flourishing of individual talent. and thinking about universities as places where people pursue truth, and challenge accepted wisdom, and devote themselves to learning and scholarship. so i had come to believe that universities are among the most important institutions in our society. i began to be invited to take on leadership roles and move from penn to harvard in 2001, to be the head of the institute for advanced study, which had just been made a part of harvard university, then from there, i went on to become president. emily: does being the first woman president part of it, the woman part of the equation, does it come with an extra pressure or sense of responsibility? drew: a lot of eyes were on me, and, "would i be able to do it?" and what would that say about women generally, not just could drew faust do this job, but could a woman do this job? i would just have young women beaming at m

the creator of the universe wrote many holy books. each claims there the one true one upon which the one true religion is built. how are we to know? how is an anthropologist from mars to go, that's opposite the right one and the others are bogus myths. there's no way to know. it's better actually, more rational, more reasonable to just say, i don't know. and therefore i'm just going to stay out of it and i'm not going to adhere to any of them and i will develop my own moral code based on my culture and my family and so forth, the ways that philosophers have developed to create and standards. you need god or religion for any of them. one of the major milestones of the last four centuries is that we have developed secular legal systems and moral codes that work really well. not perfectly but much better than the tribal instincts that drove the bronze age religions that we still have with us. what you're talking about with getting married, investing in stocks, this is a whole field of cognizant psychology called decision-making theory or
