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

austin, the university of california at riverside and a number of other universities. this alliance has really focused on increasing the graduation rates of low-income students on their campuses by sharing resources and by sharing knowledge, and in just the last three years, it was just announced recently by the alliance, it has increased the number of low-income graduates by 25% and which is going to put it on track for its goal and its creation which is 68,000 under graduates and low, and the socioeconomic status by the year 2025, right? so 25% increase in just the first three years. we really think we need to do the same for student across the u.s., and across the u.s. and give the promise of higher education to the talent that we have across this great country. thank you for the opportunity to be here today, and we look forward to the conversation. thank you.

it maintains the purpose of georgetown university was to promote the grand interest of society. so how do they plan to educate students to advance the common good? 's by fostering mental discipline, virtue and integrity. and how do they expect to combat? it was the ancient greeks and romans, the pedagogy was primarily the kind of model and memorization as a way to exercise it or make it stronger. student life and behavior was highly regulated. all three colleges have lists of rules governing student life where they could be in doubt what kinds, what they could and couldn't wear, the lists are remarkably extensive. the results were mixed at best and i have to say it's a bit of a digression but there's never been a golden age in the highers education when austin showed up for class on time, took the studies seriously and did the reading that has never existed. and in fact one could study the history of higher education through the tension between the students and faculty. nevertheless returning to my central claim i would like to note for as many similarities as there were across

each of the micromasters is endorsed by the university. and so by doing that, you get the employers to provide testimonials that the content and the outcomes are the kind of skills they need for the people that they want to hire. >> hi. this is rick o'donnell. i think the -- this is how you measure quality is a great topic and a couple of people have talked about accreditation today, and i think we have thousands of universities in this country that are credited that are producing really poor outcomes. and so accreditation really is not -- it's supposed to be a seal of quality assurance, but it doesn't really work. and i think if you want to measure outcomes, employers, someone has said before that, you know, employers are the accrediter of last resort, which i think is good. other ways to look at it is who has money at risk. one of the things we do at skills fund, is look at software coding boot camps to trucking schools to nursing schools and we go in, do due diligence at the quality of outcomes and finance the students, provide student l

this is north of the university cemetery. right next to it. daina: thank you. 56? >> yes, and another area, the african-american cemetery, where in 2012, we discovered the shafts of 67 interments, but they were not disinterred. we held a commemoration and 2014 and we will have another one this coming thursday night. i have one question for you. as a physician, i see dr. battle and some other physicians, it is a rite of passage for medical students, we dissected cadavers. the overwhelming number of cadavers were african-american, acquired the right way. in the early 1900s, as schools expanded, medical students began to take it on themselves to find bodies. as we see contemporary issues related to slavery, black-white issue, there was a story of a boy in the northeast who was walking past a medical school and looked up and there was a white arm hanging out of the window. he climbed to see what it was, he was curious, and the person in there, i assume it was a doctor, said, "that is your mother's arm." very crude. the boy went back home to his father to say, the physi

and in the fall of 1929, he began classes at the howard university school of law. thurgood marshall :i had to commute between baltimore and washington, which meant i got up about five in the morning and got home around eight. and then worked after i got home. i lost fifty-five pounds in one year. narrator: each day he would walk back and forth from union station to classes as early signs of the coming depression began to appear. howard law school was evolving from a part-time night school to a full time day school, under the guidance of a man who would have a profound influence on marshall's life. thurgood marshal:deann charles h houston, he was a graduate of amherst and harvard. very brilliant. very decent person but a very hard man. he used to tell us in our first year, "look at the man on your right and look at the man on your left and bear in mind that two of you won't be here next year." that sort of kept your feet to the fire. narrat or:in the 1920s there :in the 1920s there african-americans living in the deep south, but only 100 were lawyers. most were poor

of history and policy. what we try to do is operate both within the university and beyond. one of the things that we aim to do at the luskin center is to modify the culture of the academy to make students and faculty more receptive to historically informed work that addresses questions of contemporary relevance. to make that a legitimate and regular form of historical inquiry and discourse. so this is one of the things that we aim to do within the university that we respect will radiate out. from that, our plans are to produce historically informed policy papers that reach actual decisionmakers at the local, regional and national levels. >> that's exciting. just chime in here too that to reinforce what you say about that, there is a thirst for history out there. the national world war ii museum is some evidence of that. we are now approaching 6 million visitors since we were founded 17 years ago. this is sport of a supply side museum. it wasn't demand driven. it wasn't like the nation was clamoring for a d-day museum or a world war ii museum. some 17,000 visitors come to new

with the university of california we do have a regents policy on academic freedom. what that does is to draw a line for the purposes of 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 the freedom of the professors to be politically engaged outside of the classroom. of course the rubber really hits the road and a professor is teaching politics, and those of the places where we see the most challenge in these environments. so, for example, a professor from the middle east as a particular position on the middle east, that might cost a line between instruction and advocacy. that's not a simple line to navigate. and many of the controversies we've seen at berkeley, whether it's one side of the political spectrum or the other our students who are concerned about, or disapprove of the positions that professors may profess in those particular kinds of settings. and i think that's one of the arenas where we've seen the most stress and its come from both the left
