Carrot additionally. One of the things that we dont have enough of are programs or grants that encourage and inspire innovation and new practices and new knowledge about this issue when were placing all of our resources in enforcement and were not complementing that with innovation, then i think were creating a situation where we do have box checking instead of new thinking. I understand what youre saying. I guess what youre saying. One thing thats disappointing to me about this is that we depend on College Campuses for innovation for so many things in our society. You have on a College Campus i dont want to pick on michigan, although i kind of would like to pick on michigan. If you were at kansas, id really like to pick on you. Your system. You have law school. You have a medical school. You are training psychologists and psychiatrists. And social workers.

Funded its post secondary institutions, not funding institutions that had served large proportions of mexican americans, including many of those along the south texas border. And deborah has written about this. In effect, identifying that south texas was an education desert. We see that that is still the case with one of the counties that nick hillman talked about.

Were failing to get these perpetrators into the criminal Justice System and what we need to do to improve our abysmal record in that regard. I thank all of you for being here. You were all invited because you are experts in various ways on this issue. And this is not a hearing. This is a conversation. The goal here, and i want to say for senator gillibrand and senator blumenthal, they are both very sorry they cannot be here today.

And what we want to do is maybe simplify because i know this is now a complex labyrinth of different rules between save and cleary and title 9 and different standards of proof, different state statutes. We dont even agree on the definition of consent. So those are challenges that i know this area represents and we want to see if we can simplify, clarify, augment, support, perhaps provide more mandatory training but with the grants that go with that so
Federal money cannot chase the declines were experiencing so long. And that reorientation of the traditional bargain about the feds, the states, the institutions and families and philanthropy together paying for education is something that we need to improve. Fortunately, its been stabilizing in many states, and maybe we are moving in that positive direction. But the something that is overlooked, if we think about the danger side of an allocation that follows institutions that are effective in educating first generation underrepresented students, those who have who do, indeed, pose an educational challenge for institutions and whose graduation is the reason for our investing so much in student aid. We look at the negative side of who might lose. I would encourage us all to think about the Positive Side of having the information that would allow us to reinforce the resources and grow the resources to those institutions who have the kind of track record that many of you were talking abou
