if it happens on the university campus title vi does put certain requirements on the university. they can't ignore it and the problem we see today is that they will condemn the racist speech but not the anti-somatic and part of the problem is we seem to have a difficult time getting their heads around what is anti-somatic speech when it comes to the attacks on zionism and i think it doesn't have to be so complicated. the key issue, the crux is whether or not you support the right of jewish self- determination. that has to be the question. if it is zionophobe you once that gets condemned on campus the way racist speech is condemned the zionist will feel more protected. we shouldn't be squashing freedom of expression. >> if we are going to protect the first amendment of the constitution we have to educate ourselves and become fluent and literate on the mind of our enemy and what is at stake. the muslim brotherhood and i'm choosing my words carefully took the protocols of the elders and took anti-semitism which was a european phenomenon it was important adopted by the muslim brother

or public universities. some of these families could very much afford, according to these universities, the tuition. the other side of the issue is the fact that these colleges and these universities are very expensive. the majority of people in this country cannot afford to send their kids to school. if you're wanting to go to a private university there are some colleges in this country that cost 70,000 there are a year. take a look at this right here. $25,000 for public university. private university is 50,900. that's a lot of money. if you're a family of five, you make 150k a year, you have a mortgage, food costs, and you want to pay $50,000 for your oldest child to go into university. yes, $150,000 is a lot of money but when a third of that is going to the tuition for your child, it's going to take a big chunk of change out of your household. >> that's true. there are some private universities that are very expensive. one of the families sent their child to a private university which tuition is over $60,

president lyndon johnson says it at howard university on june 4, 1965, in a very famous howard university commencement speech, where he says that you can't have two runners, and one has been shackled, and you expect them to run the race equally. and in that speech, president johnson talks about outcomes, not just equality of opportunity, but equality of outcomes. that is what he said. so for a time, the moral claim of black citizenship, not just equal citizenship, but reparative citizenship, and we are repairing the crime of racial slavery and another century of jim crow racial segregation and anti-black violence. that is the crime that continues, even post-1965. so by the 1970's and 1980's, one thing ronald walters really challenges, and he pushes the black community on this, is to recognize that the rhetoric coming from the united states, from both republicans and democrats, is rhetoric that is abandoning this idea of black citizenship. so way before bill clinton, robert smith talked about the convergence of clinton, jimmy carter abandoned the black community. jimmy carter, despite the

queen university. josie it's good to have you with us and it's been almost a year since these apologies i have been in japan been dealing with the fallout since then. well there are ongoing lawsuits and i hope that they prefer justice to the plaintiffs and also to keep this case in the news there was a great deal of outrage at the time and there had already been indications that something like this was happening and but there's also evidence that these kinds of things have been happening in other faculties in professions as well so this may just be the tip of the iceberg the prime minister shinzo all bear has vowed to court create a society where women can shine how does that statement square with what we're seeing here. well. one of the problems with current efforts to promote gender diversity in japan is that there's an accountability issue so at tokyo medical university it turns out that the university had been accepting of government grants to promote gender diversity promote female participation a

it turns out that the university had been accepting of government grants to promote gender diversity promote female participation at the same time that it was actively discriminating against. female applicants so that's one challenge another challenge is. societal expectations that household work childcare work is women's work which creates a really big burden of the 2nd shift on japanese women and means that although debbie's women are working in high numbers many of them work in part time work in secure work precarious work and because they face a huge 2nd shift at home. jumping around from societal expectations do you see this scandal having any impact on that on japanese society will this or into gender inequality. well historically japanese companies and institutions have responded to external. pressures or even public shaming and also this case really shocked people we do have here more and more of the rhetoric about gender diversity and equality but i think that people were very surprised that this actually was happening and this me lead to greater awareness of the need for ac

walters leaves howard university in the 1990's, goes to the university of maryland. he didn't feel really appreciated by howard university and the upper administration. shortly before his death, he was planning to return to howard university, but this idea of ronald walters being ensconced in black politics and institutions for the most part is very important. even though he was a black public intellectual, eight he appeared on c-span almost 100 times, his biographer says that as a record. he was really connected to black institutions. so his idea of black power was black led. necessarily't define himself as a marxist or liberal or integrationist, but andas a strong race man, this idea goes back to ida b wells, harriet tubman, sojourner x,th, w.e.b. dubois, malcolm mngela davis, these race e womense race men and race wanted racial justice and didn't just have one, set way to do it. so walters is willing to talk with people with whom he disagrees, but is also willing to adopt multiple, overlapping strategies. he wants a big tent. he is reminiscent of aspects of talked

and our colleges and universities. i've met with quite a few colleges and universities pb be research institutions based in the state of texas, some of which have been victims of attempted or completed chinese espionage. and one concern that i have particularly in the academic sector is their leaders tend to be in someea insteness at as le aware of the scope of the threat and less sophisticated and savvy than some in say the fortune 100 world in terms of means of defending against espionage and theft of intellectual property. to what extent do you see chinese espionage in the academic world as a problem?ng and what more should we be doing about it? >> so i'm glad you raised it. i too share your concerns in that space. we -- there is a number of things that are going on there. one is that the chinese government and the chinese communist party have a number of so-called talent plans. you hear about the thousand talent plans. there is nothing inherently unlawful aboutou the talent pla themselves. however we have seen thro

how fast is the universe expanding. in 1929 the american astronomer edwin hubble made a groundbreaking discovery. he could found early observations that the light from distant galaxies is more redshifted light from closer wadhams. that means that distant objects are moving away from us faster than the closer ones. this led hubble to conclude that the universe is expanding. it all started around 14000000000 years ago with a big bang and ever since the universe has been growing all of its mass with all of its gravitational pull couldn't overpower the force of the expansion of the galaxies that formed continue to grow further and further apart like the raisins in a rising to. the rate of expansion is known as the hubble constant it's such a key concept in cosmology we want to know it as precisely as possible the european space agency's plank satellite measured radiation from the early universe and determined that for every megaparsec or 3300000 light years further away a galaxy is its receding 6070 kilometers per 2nd faste

of arizona, these universities are leading the when it comes to university engagement with nasa and developing these programs and projects. we find that when the universities do this activity, cost and schedule happens. that is not always the case, but universities have the opportunity to do that. going to the workforce, this directly ties in. when universities engage in these projects, they get students involved. and they enter the workforce immediately ready to take on projects for nasa. that is how we developed the workforce of the future. we have a number of different programs you have identified already, but having principal investigators of the universities the proposed -- and that propose these projects is a great way to stay on track and to get young folks involved. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator scott. >> thank you for being here. know, nasa's efforts are very important to florida and the florida economy. when the obama administration shut down manned flight, we lost about 7000 jobs which impact of the economy but also talent around the space coast. come upre able t
