walter: i came to argonne here in chicago as a postdoc and argonne is run by the university of chicago i was associated with the university of chicago then. our first job was working with the group at argonne national laboratory. david: so, you work there and eventually got a teaching position at the university of illinois in urbana? walter: i did. david: and you did that while you were teaching physics? walter: i went there for two reasons. i love my research but that was what i was doing good. i lived in highland park, four blocks from here. drexel avenue, you can see it. 1968, martin luther king jr. was assassinated. from where we are now, you can see the city burning and i could see it from my apartment. and it really became clear to me that i had this feeling that i was just not contributing into the civil rights movement to the degree that i felt i ought to. i was going to argonne, during my research, coming home. i had two good kids and a community, but i wanted to be more engaged. i thought if i went to a college campus where there were students, i would be more engaged in acti

i will like to make. on the sordid history of the rlholistic process i don't think anyone had ever accuse the university of north carolina -- >> i am not suggesting that. >> we took our cue from this court from the decision. >> i understand that too. my qstion rather than circling around it, how can you do diversity, which is what you are arguing for, without taki account of numbers? >> our interest i we agree is individuazeholistic review i think there has been a lot of misconception. >>ave to cheat diversity, thate goal, how do you do that -- you have to achieve diversity, that is the goal. without looking at numbers. >> we do so by looking at the individual applicants. we do not havso sort of racial target or a target for other diversity measur red -- for example we don't say we want to have 10% of our class ring military veterans. we value and we look at each individual. >> what is yal a how will the court ever be able to determine whyouroal has been reached? >> our goal is to achieve educational benefits of diversity. i understand that is a qualitative standard difficult to msu. i do n bieve the stand

of physics that i did. david: you did that and then he got recruited to go to brown university? walter: i did. vid: and he became the dean of students at brown? eric: i did. --walter: i did. david: were there a lot of african american professors? walter: at that point there were quite a few. interesting that you'd ask about that because i was reminiscing with my old friends about we call a golden age at brown. brown and why there in 19 69 and 70, we had professors in engineering, physics, chemistry, political science, history, english, the general counsel was black. the associate human resources could we had a wonderful black community. it did not grow linearly and it did not even last, but the time i was there in the early 70's. david: you were at brown for a number of years and then he got recruited to be the head of argonne? what does argonne actually do? walter: it is what is called a general science, national laboratory, one of the laboratories that the department of energy owns but they are operated by contractors. the university operates argonne. so for much of this history it was involv

i also serve on the executive committee of the 1890 council presidents, i am honored to speak to you today representing the 1890 university committee. >> on behalf of the 1890 council, which is comprised of 19 presidents and chancellors, i thank you for your passport and for your future commitment to the growth and expansion of the 1890 land grant system. a commitment that furthers the educational attainment, economic prosperity and health of the families, businesses, and communities in the institutions that serve. the impacts are significant and the positive outcomes for the communities we serve, and the nations are even greater as a point of personal privilege i want to share a little background about all core state university, founded in 1791 it traces its narrative back to 1862 and an 1890 warren acts. our corn is unique among 1890 institutions because it is the only hbcu founded with the ryan grant purpose after the first moral act, making it americas oldest public black land grant institution. the 2023 farm bill presents an excellent opportunity to build on key gains that were included in the 1819 foreign bill it's

university. it was part of us. we devoted our careers and lives. but we would have never anything to hurt the university. and we were always straightforward. so i think that's a little about what happened. it's pretty amazing that the charge jerry sandusky, who was not an employee of the university, even in 2001, he had retired in 98, but they didn't look at his charity or the board of his charity or the executive director of his charity. they focused on penn and it's a little hard to figure it all out, but i'd likened it this way in an answer to a question similar to yours. to me, felt like a locomotive, you know, a local. have any of you ever driven a locomotive? i have. you know, they make them in erie, pennsylvania. and i was up there and they let me drive a locomotive. i that's an experience. anyway that's how i thought of the analogy. it's like a locomotive started real slowly. you need a lot of power to get it moving. but once it starts moving, picking up steam, it is almost impossible to slow down without a lot of energy behind it. and what happened is this locomotive got started with with the governor and with the prosecutors. and it w

phillips, director of the program on peace building and rights at columbia university of i warm welcome to all of you. a to my let's start with what's been happening in northern cost of owes a lot of tension that's being building up was the situation at the moment. thank you for having me, laura. as we speak, the 3rd day of the search have barricaded that road would lead to to cross borders between cross border between postal service and they have set up down. some mandate is date off at schools. so hundreds of local services have overnight dance as well. in order to protect the arrest, police officer who coastal government says it's responsible for an attack of happened during the weekend at the offices of a local election committee, which was daily. and everything for me to talk to tom better was actually in the order in the north coast. we were due process of search. the situation is about can we call, but had to subscribe to the park to miss ramble. when we had spoken to the north to day going, i'm not going to was visiting the, the sides of the better, given that the be local suppl

so those are the american association of university days and it's the association of american universities, i think. and basically those are the most highly selective of research universities in the country. and the reason there are 63 of them and the reason why i chose them is because they are the institutions that are most likely to prepare faculty. and as we're talking, you'll see that there is an absolute bias among search committees for people who have phds from those institutions and and i'm going to show you why that is troubling in and of itself. okay. so so i did interviews across all of those institutions. they are all anonymous. and i will also tell you that the interviews i don't say which of the institutions i interviewed, because when you read the book, you see what people told me. and there is no way they would have told me what they told me if i had identified them. they just wouldn't have. so i am the only person who knows who who told me what i didn't use any, you know, a lot of times people would assume that i had research assistants looking at did nothing, nothing. i did a

of california, right, especially the university of california berkeley where i teach, 25% of the studentsave to be hispanic, latino, and that means they come from a particular class and that, those undergraduates understand because those undergraduates many times work at starbucks, brite, where they have also been organizing or work as undergraduate workers, right, they organize for living wage, so i feel that one has to measure this question of, you know, how is this hurting students? it is hurting them, but educating them, educating the public of california and this entire country because what is happening right now here is going to affect the entire nation. kristen: professor -- >> [indiscernible] this country is broken. kristen: not all professors are withholding grades. maybe they are shortening exams or simplifying them or making them remote, lots of things going on, and none are ideal options, but i want to ask you how have you tried to make up for the education part of it? you were talking about how a lot of the students come from backgrounds where the families that struggled to p

of? gov. daniels: i think the growth of our university that i talked about without sacrificing quality. as a matter of fact, another virtuous circle was having -- it was thought when i got there, and i have thought, it would be an inexorable trade-off. graduation rates are still not as high as we would like them to be, even in a place like ours. there was a concern that if you let the place grow, you would be admitting more students who would struggle and might not finish. that has not been our experience. the academic readiness of the incoming classes have gone up and up and up even as they have gotten bigger. we know that repetition, the affordability became more and more evident. it was a factor. i run into students all the time now from other states, and now more than half of our students come from a different state. they tell me it was less expensive to come here than to stay home. this will get me to one other part of the answer. something else i will always remember with gratitude and pride is we stayed open during the pandemic, and we stayed open with more than half of our classe

i am robert, president of the american enterprise institute, and i am very happy to welcome you to this conversation with purdue university president mitch daniels on leadership in higher education. i want to say it is really on behalf of everyone at aia, not only myself but all of our scholars and friends, that we welcome governor daniel is today. he is one of our great heroes and someone we really have followed and respected and loved for a long time. i am also very happy we have our chairman to show the same sort of affection and respect for a great american leader. i should also point out that ai scholars host events like these and only let me come down to introduce our guests, not someone really important. at omb, the governor's office, and purdue, mitch daniels has really set an example on how to be a great thinker, a man of action, a public man, so we are very pleased to have him. i also want to point out that i have been following him for a long time. when i was a young up and coming administrator in social services agency in new york state, we were doing some things that we thought were pretty innovative and impo

of policies actually is. i do not touch on it so much. it is daniel jones and his book, masters of the universe that i think touches on the think take side a little more. host: so this construct of what you call the chicago adam smith, what ultimately was the greatest consequence of this version of adam smith in our society? guest: yeah, so the chicago smith is this narrow, and version of smith for two reasons. smith really gets known as an economist, and as an economist who thinks self interest is the single most explanatory behavior of human beings, an economist who relies on prices and the market. so that is what i mean by the chicago school of smith, but it is also a smith that is very narrow. he has been flattened and foreshortened, and it becomes an exclusionary version of smith. in order to accept that view of smith, you have to ignore a lot of what smith said in other parts of the wealth of nations and in the theory of moral sentiments and in lectures on jurisprudence. it becomes this triumphant smith to the exclusion of a lot of the richness and diversity of a lot of smith's other work

david: so you went to college at university of pennsylvania warden. why did you pick warden? laurene: i started at university of pennsylvania as premed and i had in my mind that i was going to be a doctor, and so in addition to work-study and doing my schoolwork and doing waitressing on the side for pocket money, i also volunteered at the hospital at the university of pennsylvania, and the doctors there were really generous with me and allowed me to scrub in on surgeries and i was in labor and delivery and i had all sorts of jobs. and what i noticed, however, was the degree of commitment that is required and the narrowing that must happen to be great at that discipline. and so i questioned whether that with the right field for me to pursue. at the same time in my work-study job, i was working for penn student agencies. and a few months in, i had an idea for an agency. so i proposed it to the man who was running it, and he told me to go and write a business plan. so i wrote of a business plan for what we called parent services agency which was to market the parents the ability to send bi

university of pennsylvania horton. were you interested in business at that time? laurene: irted at the university of pennsylvania as premed. i was going to be a doctor in my mind. in addition to work-study and doing my schoolwork, and doing waitressing on the side for pocket money, i also volunteered at the hospital of the university of pennsylvania. the doctors there were really generous with me and allowed me to scrub in on surgeries and i was in labor and delivery. i had all sorts of jobs. what i noticed was the degree of commitment that is required and the narrowing that must happen to be great at the discipline. i questioned whether that was the right field for me to pursue. at the same time, in my work-study job i was working for penn student agencies. a few months in had an idea for an agency. so, i proposed it to the man who was running it, a wharton grad student. he told me to write a business plan. so, i wrote up a business plan for what we call parent services agency. which was to market to parents the ability to send birthday cakes and care packages to students w

earlier i talked to cameron matina, he's a senior lecture on international relations at the university of sussex. i asked him what he made of this announcement. well, 1st of all, i would sure note of caution initially about the announcement because the attorney general said the morality so called morality police was not part of the judiciary system. it wasn't an organ of the judiciary. it was actually part of the so called low enforcement forces or, you know, police force. so did they, did such an announcement should really be announced by that institution. and that hasn't happened yet. and secondly, since the protest began after the killing of fuzzy and i mean these, this morality police patrols have de facto seized because of the situation. so they really haven't been in operation allowed 2 or 3 months anyways. so i think until the government formerly announces this, you have to treat this question, but what is clear is that the government is, pursues a to policy. similar heinously seems that on the one hand, it has increased the crackdown issuing like the sentences against those arrest

of experimental medicine. i have andrey. i am a graduate student at the university. us is a junior researcher in the field of gene therapy, and here i am developing methods for the delivery of large genes for the treatment of various variants of the hereditary environment. previously, these diseases were considered incurable, however, breakthrough achievements in the field of modern genetics. biotechnologies give a chance even to such seriously ill patients today, the greatest success, in this area our colleagues abroad have been able to achieve, worse than science fiction. yes, for those who are not involved in this area, it seems that this is a fantasy, that is, we are talking about the blind, uh, from childhood, in fact. oh well, there, progressive syndromes that are laid down at the level of genetics itself initially. yes, that is, it is inevitable. if yes, inevitable, but nevertheless, the chances are, at least a little bit, andrey nikolayevich is working to ensure that this, uh, that this hopelessness programmed by nature is corrected. yes, without as if just co

i spoke to conran martin. he's a senior lecturer on international relations at the university of sussex. i asked him what he makes of this announcement. well, i think we have to treat this announcement with utmost caution for a number of reasons. the 1st one is that these so called morality police, which people actually in iran use it more commonly under the name of the job police, which enforces islamic a job is not a kind of a branch of the judiciary, but of law enforcement forces, which hasn't made any announcements. secondly, these, the oppression of this particular branch of the police has effectively cease since the start of the protest, largely because the police forces have been deployed to crack down on the protesters and they just don't have enough troops to kind of continue this operation. but most importantly, the enforcement of the job in iran or the so called a dressing code is enshrined in law. it's part of the islamic criminal law which goes back to the $181903.00 and that's part of the law remains intact and can only be repealed by delicious lation in the parliament, whic

university. i think he's known all across the nation and what he's done for asu but we had had five university presidents in 11 years at the university of arizona. so i wanted to think outside the with thework traditional recruiters, and think our first big win against texas was when were able to grab doctor bobby robins from the texas medical center. he was a stanford trained arrest six surgeon who was leading the medical center and he wanted to be university president. i think we've seen this and other leaders like sayth mitch daniels at purdue that what a difference they can make at the university level. and as a governor you may not be able to pick that person directly like you can say a superior court judge but you can affect the decision making and they think that governments going for it is going to be so important to understand that only the importance of the community colleges, the career and technical education, and that the universities stay relevant and adjust the needs of economy like expanding the engineering school, the business school, those types of majors, are all things that can be done and ideas that can happen at th

of serving as the 20th president located in mississippi. i also serve on the executive committee of the council and i am honored to speak to you today representing the university community. on behalf of the council that is comprised of 19 presidents and chancellors i thank you for your past support and future commitment to the growth and expansion of the land grant system a commitment that furthers the educational attainment and help of communities or institutions serve. the impact ison significant and positive outcomes for the communities we serve in the nation are even greater. as a point of personal privilege i want totc share a little background about the state university founded in 1871, we trace heritage back to 1862 and 1890. unique among the institutions because it is the only hbc you founded with the purpose after the first act making it america's oldest public historically black land-grant institution. the 2023 farmville presents an excellent opportunity to build on key gains for the 1890s that were included in the 2018 farmville. it's also an opportunity to increase the financial support and critical areas, scale initiatives that have proven to be e

of numbers? >> i think that you several pointed right to make on that your honor. and on the sordid history of the early process, i don't think anybody has ever accused the university of north carolina is having -- >> i'm not suggesting that. >> and we took our accuse from thiscourt, from the -- desion andfrom -- >> understand that to but i guess my question again, just to get to the core of, it rather than circling around, it is how can you do diversity which, that t you are getting four,without taking account of numbers? >> our interest in what we believethe this requires of us is individualize holistic review, and i think there's actually been a lot of misconceptions -- but you have toachieve diversity, bill that is the goal. and so how do you do that, again, last time i ask it without looking at numbers? >> wdo so by looking at the individual applicant. we do not have some sort of racial target or a target for other diversity metrics, for example, and we don't want to preserve our class to be military veterans, we value this diversity interest, and we want to look at each individual applicant on that basis. >> what is your, goal and how will the court ever be a
