university of north carolina, press does well, west virginia university. press does. well, princeton, whatever and you know, and to pay attention to those books matter, you know in that larger view. yeah. and i think let's see. i had i got i had a great question and then i forgot it should have written it down. um, but oh right this was it was for you john it was going back to the question of a business model and also the question of you know, what challenges ups face in the next few years the next, you know century. like what? what challenges does the current model for university presses in? what way is it? not yet. flexible enough or might be failing the mission of certain failing them like failing the mission of certain ups. i'm thinking about kind of the hubbub with stanford. within the last few years where all the sudden the monetary side of it didn't match with the mission driven side of a up. so without you know, you don't need to speak specifically about stanford. but what are the challenges you see there? yeah, no, it's you know, it's kind of the elephant the

they go out and encourage students to over apply to their universities. students they're never intending to take so harvard, princeton, gayle and you harvard, princeton or yale up apply that's one more rejection it makes it more exclusive. it's an extremely unethical act it's wasting people's time, wasting their money, leading them on increase the prestige of the university and the ranking systems. >> what was your college experience would you do it differently today? >> i went to a small liberal arts college for undergraduate. graduate school phd and a large public university taught at both types of institutions. i see some similarities some differences i offer the same advice into the high school students when i talk to them today, think about it strategically. pick a major base out what you think will be suited and trying to discover yourself are trying to find a new path, hobby or consumption in life. in other words, think a way to get to college efficiently. one thing i would have done is continuing in the community college credit not the general edu

you have had an incredibly university press book. what brought you to university press? not many have their first book of fiction through up. >> the pull was they believed in my book, in the collection n the stories and were very present. you know, i have said this to writers about their agents, but i think it is true for your presses as well. you know, they help you make a better book, and they give you good feedback. but your agents, your press, everyone should be your biggest fans. and before the book got any critical response, and even just hearing the consent and seeing the stories, they were early champions. and it was comforting to know there were people that cared about this book like i care about this book. i think i was kind of bracing for a fight, especially as a black writer. and i have peers that are black that were fighting with their publishers. so the tenor was collegial, congenial. when the room opened i immediately said hi to my west virginia university press family because that's what it felt like. and i felt like i knew that my book was in good hands.

the administrators are the university, the students are the university, the faculty. and i learned a lot just in hearing what a presidential perspective really is like. and earlier this morning, lori white was saying that it's been crucial to her success as president so far that she had a background in student affairs. and so i think we brought different perspectives on what is working and not working on the campus, different perspectives on the needs of students, which was i think a particular -- a particular thing that i might have had a blind spot of. faculty tend to regard students as animals who are in their classroom and don't really exist for us outside. we think about them when they're in class, not so much out. and i learned a lot about getting a perspective on the other dimensions of student lives. >> daniel, you had me at you've become more sympathetic to presidents. so i heard the rest, but that's going to really -- that's the teaching i'm going to take from this. lori? >> i'll start by saying it was a real gift to be able to engage in dialogue with so man

the university, the faculty. and i unlearned a lot justin hearing what a presidential perspective really is like and earlier this morning, laurie white was saying that it has been crucial to her success as president so far that she had a background in student affairs. and so i think we brought different perspectives on what is working and not working on the campus. and different perspectives on the needs of students, which was, i think, a particular thing that i might have had a blind spot. faculty tend to regard students as families people who are in their classroom. we think about them when they are in class and not so much outside. and we got perspective on the other dimensions of students and student lives. >> daniel, you had me at you've become more sympathetic to presidents. so, i heard the rest. but that is the teaching i am going to take from this. lori? >> it was a real gift to be able to engage in dialogue with so many incredible colleagues who, as dan mentioned, represented different perspectives at th

i have i spent about 10 years teaching college at george mason university american university and barry college. so all over the united states and what was your experience like? well, it was an interesting environment to put it mildly many good positive things that came out of it both in terms of colleagues that i worked with and the research that i did, but i also got to see kind of the inside the behind the scenes of what happens in the way that a university runs and what did you find? well my immediate take on it is that you know if we judge to university just as a normal business operation. there are things that happen in universities that would make something like enron look ethical by comparison. give us an example. yeah, i i said the first thing is the way that universities market themselves to students because if you go to any university in america, you know, they have glossy literature they present themselves as you're going to get a world-class education and open up all sorts of possibilities. so they're promising high and mighty things that student that comes through their sy

this was done at toebbe university. this was about the analogy of the civil rights area in 19 six to four and 1965. that came out in 2000. the research for the book was carried on throughout the 1990's. in the 1990's, i was reading the, southern school news, jet magazine. i was collecting the civil rights activism. this is a reference book. employment, housing, voting rights, entertainment, sports, the military. while i was working on that book i began to notice all of the references to children. i said i'm going to pursue this because it is everywhere. i began issuing this in 2001. that was my first article on the subject. it was on black high school student activism. this article was published in 2001. there was an article on black high school student activism. it was coming out of all of this. in 2001 i agree to become the head of the journal of legal history. -- negro history. they twisted my arm. the first thing i did was i changed the name to the journal of african american history. my first issue came out in 2002

no secret the university impacts the neighboring housing environment and university students often displace a lot to have local communities and local people who were here first to be frank. >> the university has asked the california supreme court to step in and reverse the pact, but it needs a decision fast. nbc bay area news. >> that's a difficult position for a lot of people. >>> let's turn things over to jeff. another change in the weather today. today was warmer and less breezy than yesterday. >> kind of getting all stirred up. we've seen quite a few changes here across the bay area so as we get you outside here, right now, 61 degrees. winds out of the north at 20. you can see tonight, we're dropping down to the mid-50s by 7:00 p.m. so when that wind kicks up, it's going to feel like the 40s this evening so you want to watch out for that. let's take you into that wind now and we're really seeing some of the strongest gusts across the mountains. 40 to 50 miles per hour. through tonight, we're going to keep some of these breezy conditions for the lower elevations, but i still think as we

college, columbia college, university south carolina, and the university south carolina school of law with two to three student organizers and a minimum of one faculty or staff mentor representing each school. the columbia food policy committee believes that the insights and voices of college students are vital to this work. however, they also recognize that many students face financial barriers to completing their college education and must prioritize work over other opportunities. to create more equitable opportunity for students to participate in this subcommittee, the committee secured funding to compensate students for their time and efforts in the form of food vouchers. since beginning work in the fall of 2020, the subcommittee has focused on a variety of topics, including sharing best practices surrounding campus food pantry management, supporting benedict college's successful opening of a food pantry on their campus, reducing the stigma associated with food insecurity, exploring the feesability of and planning for a food reciprocity program, the program would allow students fr

less than 10% of students live in university housing. it has the lowest percentage of bets for the student body than any campus in the uc system. so i want to get to the bottom and the heart of what you filed the suit. is it to stop the construction of new housing for students? or is it something different? >> so, in fact, in this very lawsuit in which we're involved, we wrote to the university twice. we were supportive of the 250 beds in the housing project. all of the neighborhood groups supported the construction of the hall, which was constructed between 2017 and 2018, and has 700 beds. so, the focus of our suit has been on emilio rating the impacts of really massive enrollment increase. in 2005, the university said they were going to add students to the campus and build 2500 beds of housing. at the time we filed our lawsuit in 2019, the university added almost 11,000 students and had only built 1,600 beds, so there was a shortage of more than 9,500 beds at the time we filed the lawsuit. kristen: ok, so youo re -- you're concerned ab

it is all of these public universities and colleges where kids are suffering. these colleges and universities are public higher education systems in california, it is at the heart of our economy. this is the pathway to the middle-class class for so many low income, working-class first-generation california families. we are making it so hard for them because there is nowhere for these kids to live. that is what we want to get done. kristen: dan, let me ask you, is the expansion of additional housing development, is that to accommodate more of the existing students? or is that to pave the way so you can bring on thousands more students? dan: uc berkeley at least is not a growth campus. we do not anticipate by growing more than 1% a year, for the next 15 years. that is just a few hundred students. we has nate -- we have an emergency. we are trying to build more student housing. ironically, some of the same people behind this particular lawsuit have the suit us on every single housing project we have tried to launch in the city of berkeley. we desperately want to p

based on the amount of money that each university has, there could be a fly card with the university. this would be in the amount that would carry through not just an academic turn based on your needs. that would take care of any food issues they might have. that would totally illuminate the need for food pantries. i like the whole idea of empowering the students of that mechanism you're talking about. >> it gives students choice. anybody else? >> yes. i think what we have been talking about around raising awareness at the university administrators and winners here in the southeast, having to raise awareness of the fellow college students, raising awareness of congressional leaders and other administration but also raising awareness of the private foundations and in the private companies. this is a workplace issue. this is a workforce developing issue. you have to translate some of the research into that language to encourage their participation in the conversation. i will say that similar to what rachel has experienced, we received financial support from private foundations that have

the judge found that the university's enrollment growth had really contributed to these problems. with housing and displacement. our gripe is that the university should not be adding students unless they are also adding housing. >> reporter: the university says the ruling could drop acceptance rates to the school down to the single digits. >> just because there aren't seats that berkeley, it doesn't mean there aren't places for them at other uc campuses. other uc campuses have more ability to house students than berkeley does. >> reporter: dave on when teaches environmental law and says there are no winners here. >> i think the university should ever have put itself in a position to have to defend this lawsuit, and i think the neighbors never should have filed it. i think everyone here is wrong. >> reporter: he says it is possible the california supreme court could give some relief to the university over the cap on enrollment here at the school. what exactly that number might be is unknown, and it all depends on whether or not the court takes up the case. in berkeley, andria borba

if the purpose of the university is job placement, we shouldn't have university. there's a more efficient way to put young people in jobs and make them go through four years of coursework and getting into debt to have their starting job. the purpose of university is additive. as young people are reaching their maturity we have an opportunity to turn them into critical thinkers in a complex way and those prepared to spend life seeking human flourishing. you can't do that without the humanities. life is not a quantitative, it is qualitative. institutionally, higher education is moving away from the humanities. we are not going to let it get far. we turn to higher education, the things that are highest in human experience. >> we have an international audience, primary and secondary, culture by culture. the powers of the mind, starts with this idea. in the ways of that. to reproduce what is already there. there secondary enculturation and the higher things, that forms the leader and the way we do things from your society. a different way that is just beyond the notion

three -- public university libraries. it went to prince george county community college in maryland and it was in schools in atlanta . the exhibit traveled. but then, when we had the opening of the exhibit, the sponsors of the exhibit would get in touch with young people in that location. then they would sell their story of -- then they would tell their story about why they did. what was really interesting to me is once i began doing this research on the campaign, people in riverside california, riverside california is not a town, it is barely a city, i would say i am working on -- chicago and new york, the people in riverside --. children were not allowed to physically enter a white public school. people in riverside, california said, "oh, yeah, that is what we did." i said, "what?" i said what happened. this was 1965. they did not allow mexican americans, african-american children to attend white public schools. they had separate schools for black and mexican. parents had complained about the separate black schools. the

we can't ignore the fact that you were more than one of a dozen universities, historically black universities that received this kind of threat. there were more yesterday. there were more less than a month ago. i don't need to ask you to tell us about any ongoing investigations or anything to which you've been taken into confidence. but is there anything you can tell us about how federal authorities see this or perceived links between where all of these threats are coming from? >> well, certainly, we don't talk about the investigation in terms of the information that's been shared with us. but there's something really, really strange going on here. of course, you know, today, we had just a plethora of hbcus to receive these kinds of threats. and when you couple that with the ones that have received the threats before, there have been 22 threats to our hbcu campuses. and certainly, i called for an immediate, thorough investigation. on the part of the fbi and on the part of the homeland security. we need to get to the bottom of this. we need to find out what the heck is going on that is enablin

it goes for american studies that in an american university. i think there is an american core an american canon that includes, you know declaration of independence and the constitution on the federalist papers, but also includes frederick douglass. probably fourth of july speech and and it includes the voices that articulate how american values interface with our diversity and the ways in which you have failed to to enact our values and the battles that we have fought in order to bring those ideals into into closer reality. so there is a kind of a of american core that i think ought to be part of the general education of a student in an american institution particularly particularly a student who is going to live and be part of the american american democracy. okay. well, thank you very much roosevelt montes for joining us today. we've reached the end of our hour and may thank all of our viewers also for for tuning in and and commend to everybody roosevelt montes' wonderful book rescuing socrates the how the great books changed my life and why

the university appealed a nasty enrollment cap be tossed. in the meantime, an appellate court refused. so now the university is asking the highest court in the state to halt the enrollment restrictions. >> right now, our efforts are focused on trying to roll back the decision through an appeal to the supreme court. or perhaps through a legislative fix that would come at a sacrament. >> university officials say if the enrollment cap stands more than 3,000 students who would have been accepted this spring will be turned away. >> we're not going to take our foot off the gas pedal on that front. we're going to do everything in our power to see if we can mitigate. or reverse the impacts of this unprecedented court decision. >> for sure, there's no room for any more enrollment until the housing catch us up. but the neighborhood groups challenging the university sees it differently. blaming the university for adding 14,000 students since 2000, 5 and only 1600 additional beds last year for 2021. they admitted 2700 more students than they did the yea
