university, your alma mater, governor, which has an endowment of well over $40 billion. you have called this a bad idea. why? gov. baker: the colleges and universities in the commonwealth of massachusetts a major economic engine, significant employer, and they do wonderful things to promote discovery, research, and learning. but most importantly their endowment fund, among other things, scholarships and financial aid for low income and middle income students. why we would take $569 million away from harvard, $200 million away from m.i.t., and money from other colleges to fund the money for kids just does not make any sense to me. it was an idea originally proposed by the republican congress and at the time i did not support it. i do not think we should be punishing colleges and universities. i think we should be proposing that -- supporting them. mr. gonzalez: it was not originally proposed by the republican congress. it has been pending in legislation on beacon hill for a while, but here's why it makes sense. the status quo for the education system is not good enough and it's not good enough for the transportation system. i am going to take on these big jobs. i want every child and fa

a 2014 analysis from the university of massachusetts found each child a woman has chops 4% off of her, meanwhile, increase by 6% when they become fathers. as the piece points out, quote, plenty of women decide to step back from their careers after becoming mothers. some want to devote themselves to parenthood. others lack affordable childcare. but for those who want to keep working at the same level, getting pregnant and having a child often deals them an involuntary setback. regulators say many women rarely file complaints because they cannot afford an attorney. they don't recognize discrimination unless it's blatant or fear retaliation. the tide, though, is turning. women are frankly over it and we're fighting back. according to the equal opportunity employment commission, the number of discrimination cases filed annually has been steadily rising for two decades and is hovering near an all-time high. but lawsuits aren't going to be the final fix and changing policy isn't going to be the whole fix either. a study conducted by a stanford socialologist presented hundreds of real world

according to the pioneer institute it's easier for out-of-state students to get accepted to the university of massachusetts that it is a massachusetts resident. what, if anything, senator warren should be done about that disparity? warren: this is about money. and admitting students who are going to pay a higher tuition bill. this is the fundamental problem. we need to help you and people who want to get an education, whether it's technical training, whether it's two years, whether it's for years, whether it's an advanced degree. it's like investment in infrastructure. it's that still the for all of us. when people can get an education. i went to a commuter college the cost $50 $50 a semester. there's nothing even close to that in massachusetts now. why? because the investments are not made in young people who need help to get an education. instead we've got a trillion and have dollars student loan debt burden. diehl: look comfortable in one way to make college more affordable so colleges are not spending a ton of money and kids are not able to go is make sure we don't have jobs teaching positions the pay

i also want to acknowledge my collaborator, anthony peck, who's from the university of massachusetts at amherst. the two of us, we actually met at a soccer field when our children were playing soccer, and he is a social network expert, and we thought what could we do together? he was the coach of my soccer -- of my children's soccer team, and we thought, you know, with our two kids playing soccer together, what is the world exposing to us? it's obviously cyber aggression, cyberbullying, it's something that we were concerned about. in addition to tony, we are a large team. it takes a village. i would like to also acknowledge my collaborators from public health. folks from computer science and another colleague from sociology. as you can see, we have just a wide variety of expertise who have come together in this particular study. so, you all know this information. about nine out of ten kids are connected online. and the increase in access, particularly in smartphone access, has dramatically skyrocketed. i mean, we're talking in 2012, about 40%. in 2015, about 80% of kids are using smar

to the pioneer institute, it's easier for out of state students to get accepted for the university of massachusettshan for massachusetts residents. what, if anything, should be done about that disparity? sen. warren: thing is about money and admitting students who are going to pay higher tuition bills. we need too help young people who want to get an education. whether it's technical training, two years, four years or an advanced degree. it's like the investment in infrastructure. it helps build a future for all of us when people can get an education. i went to a commurement college that cost $50 a semester. there's nothing even close to that in massachusetts right now. why? because the investments are not made in young people who need help to get an education. 1/2epped we have a trillion dollar student debt loan burd than america. ms. saldo: you'll get equal time, representative. rep. diehl: first of all, one way to make colleges more afford sble make sure that we don't have jobs, teaching positions that pay $350,000 to teach just one counter. i think that might be one way to make it more affordab

for a new political discourse we're ject ing the demonization of opponents thomas whalen a social scientist a boston university in massachusetts gave us his thoughts on the issue. because. we don't have all the facts in front of us this is all just idle speculation so i think we should take a step back at this point turmel life is just around the corner and there's a lot of. republicans are going to first take a look at the polling or they comment i think democrats to look at their own polling and realize that among their own base voters that's a very popular from so that's why you're so strong. the man he's faced accusations he was involved in the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi has made his first public comments on the issue the country's crown prince claimed it was a crime with no justification. the crime was really painful to all saudis. and i believe it is painful to every human in the world it is a crime to cannot be justified and we know that many are trying to. use this. to create to drive a wedge between saudi arabia and turkey. riyadh denied any knowledge of the incident for weeks then said khashoggi was k
