Gore will discuss criminal Justice Reform and recall his 19 years in prison. This weekend, aol cofounder steve case will tell us how emerging technologies are reshaping the internet. In some way every company as a tech company. Even the internet is shifting from being an interesting phenomenon, there really internet enabled and in not too distant future they will take for granted. So be talks about electricity enabled, theyll take it for granted. The internet is on a similar path. I think well know when we get there, when we dont have a half hyphenated internet. Right now we call it email, someday well call it male. I know we call it ecommerce, we call ecommerce, when they will call it commerce. Will not there yet it will take ten or 20 years to get there but i think were on that path when the third wave is just the next reiteration for the next step, the next wave of taking the idea of the internet and shifting it from being a Quirky Technology thing to be in a fundamental part of eve
Year that goes to support faculty and also scholarship support and other things. And those are things, i think institutions have to look at, is to come up with creative ways that fund the operation of the university thats not on the backs of students by imp si increasing tuition every year. Those are the kinds of things we need to do. Diversity to us is on every single dimension. It means that we have a diver diversity of income backgrounds of our students. It means that we have a diversity of representations of underrepresented minorities. It mean wes have a diversity of our age of the students that are here and a diversity of the countries that our students come from. So theres probably not a dimension that we dont look at, when it comes to diversity. Because we believe that the exposure of our students to this kind of a diverse culture within this university can only be beneficial in the longterm when they leaf the university. We achieve it simply by working hard to recruit and find
Sheer, whos our assistant secretary of defense for east asia in the pacific. You know that david was had come back from hanoi to do this job. He was our u. S. Ambassador there. David is an expert on china and Southeast Asia. I think for many of us who are sort of in the trenches every day on these issues, couldnt think of a better person for the pentagon to put into this role. Next to him is one of the top Southeast Asiaenists in the United States, and he also is singapores ambassador to the United States. Aspoke. He was most recently singapores ambassador to indonesia. He was in the past has been singapores ambassador also to australia. And to quaul la lumpur and has a long history in Singapore Foreign affairs working on asiarelated affairs.

That is not a good legislation. I dont get it. But thank you, senator durbin, thank you senator warren. In addition to that point, i would like to make the point that theres i think that we have to really make this more of a national discussion, how are we going to help american families, middle class families and really all families be able to afford college . If you look at the top 100 high paid ceos in our country, their salaries start at 18,700,000. They go all the way up, a company who manufactures a drug to fight hepatitis, he makes 180 million a year. Why cant we have some kind of tax on multimillionaires, because how in the world do you need that much money, in one year for for example. Some kind of tax that if you start making over a certain amount of money that theres a tax that will somehow help fund colleges. All right, kathy. Mr. Steinmetz .
