it becomes -- it is the front porch of the university. it's not the most important part of the university, but for many, many people it's the most visible part. that said, then the question becomes in terms of the funding of athletics is why it is so terribly important to have -- two things in mind. number one, that academic funds do not go to support athletics. it has to be self supporting, which means of course that you rely on media revenue, that conferences bring in by their media contracts. and number two, is institutional control, that athletics should always be in the service of the educational mission of the institution. winning is important, but for us, a student athletes and they are students first, what is more important than winning is the success of student athletes. success on the field, in the classroom and in life. those are the values that guide our athletic program. >> we have a few lines open here, so dial in with your questions and comments about higher education. students 202-585-3880 parents, 202-585-3881 and educato

of any university in the count country. we don't look at we're followinh the rules, we look at whether we're doing the right thing.we h and we pulled together an incredible team. we've looked at over 100 different topics for which we felt we could do improvements and create a greater sense oeafn control. and this is a model institution. and i believe that especially in the athletics arena of ethics and compliance, we're going to see a lot of universitiespe cop what penn state has done because it's such a fine program.pl >> as far as specifics, what has the university put in place to make sure these instances don't happen again? >> well, just as an example, compliance and ethics is outside of athletics. it's not within thatit i chain e command. it's -- it's a completely independent operation, independent authority and that makes a substantial impact as an you might imagine to make sure that you have individuals that feel free and know they have the backing to do what's right. but, there'scall a dramatically different hr syst

and this morning, the bus is on the campus of the ohio state university in columbus, ohio. joining us from the bus is the university executive vice president and provost, joseph steinmetz. and mr. steinmetz, let's just begin with your job as provost, you oversee osu's academic curriculum. how do you assure that the curriculum is relevant to a modern global economy? >> thank you and i want to begin by thanking cspan for visiting our campus. also i would like to say, i notice how the bus is painted gray with a touch of scarlet on it. so we appreciate that as well. as for your question, i think one of the main duties of the provost is the chief academic officers is to assure, first of all that the programs that we offer throughout the university and it doesn't matter if we're talking about our professional or graduate programs, that they are current and that they meet the needs that the students have in this world today. and so one of the interesting thing is if there's any trend in higher education, or edge -- not just what's going on in the state of ohio or in the u.s. so we

the university? >> sure, so, i think athletics certainly a major public universities have become bigger and bigger, through the years, with more attention from the public, more attention from the media, the size of the program has grown, not the number of students, but the dollars flowing through them, here at the university of michigan, we're very fortunate that because of the attention of our alumni and the involvement of the community in supporting some of the major sports are athletic programs are self-supporting, in fact, the football and men's basketball -- as a matter of fact, no disrespect, i just want to ask a couple of quick questions. i wonder how much it costs per credit hour currently at the university of michigan? >> you'll have to forgive me, but i don't have per credit hour numbers in my head. i certainly know that the cost of attendance of tuition for an undergrajs watt student, for a full year is approximately $13,000 instead, and approximately $41,000 out of state. but i don't have

flagship university of the state. i think the flagship university should be concerning themselves with the future needs of the nation. exactly the kinds of ways that you talked about. adaptable and educatable -- educate work force that can be the citizen of tomorrow's civil society and can be the innovator and the problem solver. it may be that a two-year college must be more sensitive to the immediate needs of the business in its region. i am not in favor of tieing tightly the educational programs of a university -- a four-year university like ours to the work force needs as determined by some sort of a survey. remember that those surveys reflect people's opinions two, three, four years ago. and they finally get to a university that might change its programs for students that are going to graduate two, three, four years in the future. frankly, nobody can predict what the hot fields are going to be. that coupling doesn't make any logical sense at all. we need to be training individuals who are going to be adaptable fo

the relationship between the city and the university is fascinating. the concept of having a university here in madison occurred very early, in 1837. but it was not until 1848 that the university had any money and was able to get started and was able to start building buildings. the university of wisconsin, in fact, was very small during almost all of the 19th century. it was only in the late 1890's that it be can to grow rapidly. from that point forward, it continued to grow rapidly throughout most of the 20th century. so when the university suddenly got into this big growth spurt in the 1890's and through the teens, business leaders said this is an economic engine. this is the way to grow madison. that was a fascinating revelation for business leaders, because they had not thought of the university as economic development. one of the most interesting stories was the history of the progressive movement. to a large extent, it was about a relationship between president trost and ice -- charles van hyes, and the governor with the state. they decided to h

they come to university, they should want to be part of the university. aey shouldn't be using it as one-semester training ground to jump to the nba. >> and that hurts the overall perception of college athletics when you have these tourist students. >> when i was at the university of arizona, they had a great you could brand and say basketball was our bell cow was an opportunity in terms of the economic budget butn annual basis one-and-done doesn't hurt arizona or kentucky because the base has been loyal to that program. had i came to t.c.u., we have been to four tournaments in 60 years and when we were in the west conference, arguably, the mountain west conference was better than in terms of basketball depth at one time. but they didn't resonate. mexico, utah, b.y.u., san diego state, did not metroplex. the they were good teams. didn't resonate. >> i would suggest as a fan that you're arizona, you can follow those players for four years. >> they were still one-and-done, come and go. lieutenant olsen, every four was in the final four. he had an amazing re

the university level continue to rise. it's a huge challenge for us. >> what about college aid, financial aid for students? how does it work at rutgers university? what are your concerns with that? the federal government assistance for kids to attend college. >> well, as you know, at rutgers we have a particularly high percentage of pell grant recipie recipients. 37% of our students are pell grant recipients. they are families who are less than two times the minimum poverty level. so we have a very needy student population that we want to educate. we depend heavily on sources of support for those students both internally, from our own resources, and externally from the state and from the federal government. we simply couldn't educate our students with all the expenses of doing so without help from the government, from the state and from our private supporters. >> i want to show you a column in "the new york times" and show it to our viewers as well. they write this that why aid for college is missing the mark. in 1987, whe

the universe. and so it's really our duty to tap into these to share the passion that drives our quest and the reason why we are spending big money, taxpayer money into this kind of research which is as fundamental as few other things, in my view, in our endeavor to understand our place in the group verse. in the universe. but trying to do that, as scientists, we face some big hurdles. one, and perhaps the most obvious one, is the problem of jargon. we scientists, we tend to speak in jargon simply because those are the words that we have, they are the words of our trade, the words we have chosen to explain our subject to our peers. but then, obviously, important questions and important ideas can get and do get lost in translation. let me give you an example. here is a paper from 1965 by these two gentlemen, arnold -- [inaudible] and ronald wilson, who picked up using a big horn antenna a signal they could not explain. they were picking up some noise that they couldn't, they didn't expect and couldn

most universities, we are 3%, 10% of the university budget. we make up 90% of the media, but we're only 3% of the entire budget, and in some cases maybe 10%. but the focus is a small focus when you look at the totality of what a university budget is. we are so small, but media is such a big deal, we focus on that little piece. >> so we've established the fact that you're on one side of the fence or the other. what's the ante if you want to be on the side of the fence with the haves and not the have-nots? you've been on the other side. >> i couldn't tell you that because you start to look at one of the things for us when this whole thing was a geography. we were in the right spot the right media market. you can think about boise. >> what are the investments that you would have to make, or that you were part -- that were part of programs that you were associated with that you had to make? give us an idea. >> what chris hasn't said is the dumb luck of the s.e.c. poaching two big 12 schools that allowed them to come in. they could have built all t

the university should have to restrictions on the content of speech. it was one of the great moments of my life. >> i think it took awhile before we realized the impact that this was having not only as a country. it had enormous impact on the country, but in other parts of the world. >> i don't like sitting on the sidelines and it's really not like me to do that. i just never have. i kind of sat on the sidelines there and i wish i hadn't. >> i think i've softened as i've gotten older. i think that in many ways in major way what's the students were protesting over turns out to be something i think very valuable in our society. so i think certainly the ends were good and the ends were achieved. >> what i told mario at the time is one of those rare moments in life where we're both right and successful. we're both on the right side and we won. it's very hard to do both. you can do right or you can win. very rarely do you do both. on december 8th we did both. to this day, it's exciting. it was a hell of a time. >> on january 2nd, a little more than three mo

both in the university of california and the cal state university systems over the last years. the end result is, we've done lots of cutting, lots of savings, lots of efficiencies. $660 million. we have hard pencil numbers on, much less everything else that's happening. we have frozen tuition for the last three years. we've done all these things. yet, we are still $460 million below where we would have been in 2007/2008, and we've enrolled thousands more students. what that means is that on a per capita basis, the state is putting in a less amount for the students than they did 30 years ago. >> the governor said one of the reasons they increased state funding is to keep tuition flat. this deal now, raising tuition, breaks the promise. what's your response to that? >> there was no agreement. i don't think anyone believes there really was an agreement. his plan, it's a plan but not a two-way agreement. his plan is that for the state portion of our budget, he'd increase that 4% a year. >> people hear it and go, that's a lot. what's the problem? our core budget is comprised by what

with the are's university's values. there should be benchmarks to stay at the different universities. >> but is that realistic? is that ever going to happen as long as there's the need to win and the best player doesn't qualify? >> yes, indeed. if, in fact, as tom mentioned, there is a collective in the national interest of politicians, those who have the power to grant things like an anti-trust exemption on a limited basis, to allow a body like the ncaa, and i'm not saying this particular make-up but at some point, an essential body or authority that's going to be able to impose a lot of the things without having to worry about having some kind of anti-trust litigation against them. is rolely what it is. you had a west when bunch of gangsters you had to hire a strong marshall to do to, to behey need able to clean it up. i think that is where we are heading. i agree with tom, the point i was making is let's get rid of the tail wagging the dog mentality, which is what we have in college sports right now where university

the university found the boy responsible for assault. he was expelled from his dorm, but not kicked out of school. >> i think at a minimum, they should have suspended im. >> the family said his punishment for rape was no more than a slap on the wrist. >> it's not that there was alcohol and a sexual assault. there was a confession to the sexual assault. that's staggering. >> a review of sex crime cases at hundreds of schools across the nation found victimises rarely face expulsion. even when the university rules they are culpable in a sex assault, as a sex attacker was. >> a local da declined an interview with "america tonight". but told rebecca's family there wasn't evidence to press charges. floored, the family sought out another avenue for justice. >> we began to thing of something needing to be down. they found it in the "america tonight" series, sex crimes on campus. we had seen "america tonight"s expose in america, about the title nine case and the young woman going forward and confronting their universities. it was interesting when

that's the responsibility of the university. does the university create a culture that encourages the student to do the best that he or she can? there are obviously important issues to be addressed. we completely agree with that and we're part of a conversation that is nationwide. with respect to what can we do better? we know there are things that can, in fact, be improved. especially the full cost of attendance. completely agree with that. but the real question, i think, with respect to the nlrb, mr. chairman, is are we going to, in fact, use the national labor relations act as a tool for negotiating improvements? and it seems to be exactly the wrong way to go. for starters if i may make one additional point, the collective bargaining agreement or the collective bargaining unit that was recognized by the regional director doesn't include the entire football team. if you're a walk-on, one of the 35 members of the football team at northwestern, the representative, if the union is in fact elected, is not going to be representing

the universe. and i'm also passionate communicateyear of science. i believe that one of the main roles of scientists in this day and age is to be able to communicate with the public and not just communicate in a top-down way but even engaging at the public in a dialogue about the concept of big ideas, very fundamental questions about the arrest of the universe that we share and are interested in. in particular, astrophysicists modifies are in the position where science naturally draws people, and rather than going and give talk is find people being fascinated by the questions we ask, by the answers we sometimes get, and by the even bigger questions that are still unsolved and the big mysteries in the universe. so it's our duty to share in a dialogual way, and the reason we're paying taxpayer money into this kind of research, which is as fundamental as few other things in my view in our endeavor to understand our place in the universe. but trying to do that, we face -- as scientist wes face some big

but people think about the university of texas and what's the brand value of the university of texas and what does the football team add and what does that do in terms of recruiting professors and top students and donors and having matthew mcconnaughay do his true detective thing on the sideline for your athletes? i think there's a little bit of cynicism involved in saying either they made a profit or they didn't and there wasn't other ancillary benefits that happened. whether that's the 50-year program or the brand that's the university. the first thing we've said to cities when we've been looking at a potential olympic bid at 2024, if you're trying to make money as the first line then you're not going at it for the right reason. to say we want to have them be cost overruns and be burdens on their cities. but you have to see a bigger picture. i totally understand that your job is to get to those black-and-white numbers but i think there is some inherent value beyond just whether or not the profit and loss categories for those schools and the investments. >> i will go beyond that val

so, the students tried to negotiate with the university. the university refuse. in defiance, some of the students set up a card table right in front of the main administration building and .anded out leaflets in short order, a police cruiser pulled into the middle of the plaza and arrested somebody named jack weinberg, who was on the table. they could go anywhere, students began to sit down around the police car and soon the entire plaza was filled with students sitting around the place car. they held captive for the next 33 hours. that was the beginning of the free speech movement. [applause] the fsm went on to stage a number of protest, trying to negotiate with the university. they ultimately put on what was the biggest sit in in the nation's history, roughly a hundred people were arrested for sitting in overnight. regents revoked this rule, essentially admitting unconstitutional infringement on free speech rights. when this happened, hoover, who already viewed kerr with suspicion, became convinced that wasr was -- that kerr untrustworthy. he believe that clark
