Kathy Drea

Most of the programs that other colleges and universities are putting in place are very specific programs to attract women, for example, into engineering and hard sciences.

Claire Van Ummersen

Pat Teeters

Universities are full of Knowledge; the freshmen bring a little in, the seniors take none away, and the knowledge there accumulates.

Abbott Lawrence Lowell

I think it's skewed a little toward universities that aren't engaged. Durham is fully engaged. Everybody has an opinion and expresses it in a straight-up way.

Reyn Bowman

We try to be supportive of our local universities and the programs they think are important. We think this will be important for their future and for the young people arriving on campus for a visit.

Dr. Larry Gillam

Before the US-led invasion in 2003, women were free to go to schools, universities and work, and to perform other duties. Now, due to security reasons and repression by the government, they're being forced to stay in their homes.

Senar Muhammad

Even within traditional universities there has always been debate about whether it wouldn't be better to focus on only one course at a time.

Philip Greenspun

The study underscores the critical role universities play in a country's national innovation system, not just in the training of new scientists and access to the best talent, but in the ease of developing and licensing technology.

Carl Schramm

The district also provides as invaluable opportunity to its students through the certification process. Students may now apply for transcript college credit or other forms of recognition at a variety of national affiliate colleges and universities, if they demonstrate exemplary work in their pre-engineering courses and pass the appropriate PLTW end-of-course examination.

Jim Matthys

Because she sat where she sat, we are now sitting in Congress, ... We are sitting in the Supreme Court. We are sitting as CEOs and heads of universities.

Charles Adams

There is only one justification for universities, as distinguished from trade schools. They must be centers of criticism.

Robert M. Hutchins

We've lost two presidents at the two universities within six weeks of one another. Is there a problem? I don't think you need to be an Einstein to figure that one out.

Howard Rosenberg

Federal investment in university research has a much bigger impact on the nation's economy than previously thought. We are seeing much more commercialization coming out of universities that has not been measured.

Lesa Mitchell

We're just hoping the University of Florida will do the same as other state universities.

Pat Fowler

Even at the universities that have tens of millions of dollars in licensing income, there tend to be a few (patents) that are blockbusters that make the effort worthwhile.

Theresa Walker

It was fantastic. Earl took fight songs from various colleges and universities and made it a terrific, joyous time.

David Stahl

We in universities are not in the democracy business. What we do, when we're doing it, is teach and learn.

Stanley Fish

If I'm putting together my list of bad guys ... I wouldn't put universities at the top of the list.

Amy Zegart

Had I guessed, I probably would have guessed the West would have the largest percentage based on the image, at least, of free-thinking universities. That's a pretty astonishing figure.

Richard Lapchick

This program is another way in which we are working with local high schools and universities to develop future talent for our organization here on Long Island. We hope this program will help us generate more interest in the sciences from the junior and senior high school level to develop tomorrow's aerospace industry leaders.

Bob Klein

In our strategic plan, our goal is to have 100 percent reflection of the state of Florida's population in our universities.

Carolyn Roberts

With the infrastructure that we have already set up in the state as far as universities, that provides a great infrastructure for these types of companies to draw talent from. That is very valuable.

Weston Sedgwick

There is no time for more research. Too much has already been done and there are stacks of reports already. The government has them. Universities have them. (More research) is useless.

Faisal Basri

We expect CEOs from major Indian and American technology companies as well as officials from governmental and non-governmental organizations. Our goal is to explore new avenues for Indo-U.S. collaboration on education and research programs designed to improve science and engineering talent for corporations and universities in both countries.

Ramesh Rao

It applies to companies that are publicly traded; for instance, companies on NASDAQ, however, many nonprofits and universities are taking advantage of the recommendations and applying them.

Tim Johnson

Colorado is at a crossroads. We can privatize our public universities or we can begin to fund them at a level that continues their present missions.

Larry Penley

How the universities choose to spend that money is their choice.

Laura Knaperek

Our state is one of the fastest growing and the most naturally diverse in the United States, ... Our mountains and beaches bring the visitors, and our universities, technology and industries draw the residents. Without clean air, the innovation and natural beauty are ruined.

Roy Cooper

The Partnership for Higher Education in Africa represents our commitment to Africa's next generation of leaders, who deserve an exemplary education to prepare them to help set the course for their nations' futures. We expect the universities in which we invest to become the foundation of a higher education network that will serve all of Africa for decades to come.

Vartan Gregorian

This one in Huntington just came up because we couldn't do it here (Charleston). Marshall really didn't officially invite us like the other two universities. David Hardesty and WVU have made it clear that they want us to come there several times a year if we can. We like to travel and we like to go around West Virginia. We love to come to Huntington, and that auditorium is a great space.

Larry Groce

We want to foster the development of technology out of our universities and industrial labs and bring them to the marketplace.

John Tesoriero

The top-class sports teams being nurtured by universities are a sign of China's sporting future. At the moment, the facilities for such teams are not as good as for the national teams, we will give some support to them in the future.

Feng Shuyong

We came up with plans to implement at our own universities to help the student-athletes.

Jonathan Orr

I've heard my name mentioned but I haven't talked to anybody about anything. It's very attractive. You're talking about one of the top universities in the country. I've always been interested in being a head coach, whether it's in college or NFL. I think it depends on the program and school whether I would consider it or not.

Ray Sherman

Universities by their very nature encourage debate, question and challenge of conventional wisdom and existing theories. We are places where knowledge is discovered. We advance existing precepts and understandings by which society currently runs. And in that context, academic staff will time to time have views that are different from the government's.

Nigel Harris

We find ourselves in a very difficult cycle of faculty who are very talented being wooed by other universities. We are a prime candidate for cherry-picking. In order to retain the integrity of our programs, we don't want to lose our very best faculty.

Jerry Hauser

Universities are the cathedrals of the modern age. They shouldn't have to justify their existence by utilitarian criteria.

David Lodge

Nothing short of a revolution will stop what has become a crisis of conscience and integrity for colleges and universities in this country.

Gordon Gee

Pre-K is gradually being integrated into the K-12 education system nationwide. In a state that has so many great universities like Purdue, Indiana and Notre Dame, it's a shame (Indiana) won't do more to ensure its own children are better prepared to enter those schools with high quality pre-K.

Libby Doggett

I think people are cautious, but I think caution is different from resistance. Universities are slow to change. ... I think there is an institutional crisis when a new field emerges and comes into its own.

Heather Love

American universities and industry have a long history of collaborative efforts that have spawned significant innovations and fueled our entrepreneurial economy. It is imperative to take the lessons from these collaborative relationships so that we may improve the process by which discoveries and innovations move into the marketplace.

Lesa Mitchell

It's certainly part of the same group-think. They're doing the same thing -- branding -- with universities. We see economic values being weighed much more heavily than human values.

David Elkind

Many of these decks are best situated at the perimeter of the campus to act as car 'filters' to maintain a safe pedestrian environment on the central campus. And since these are difficult facilities to fund, many municipalities and universities are looking at ways to share cost and capacity of these decks.

Mike Brennan

I've spoken to many chairmen in other universities, both in the Florida State system and outside, and they all say the failure rate in mathematics is high.

Julian Edward

Farmers may not yet be 100 percent comfortable with the changes, but they understand why it's being done and can see the value in it. All land-grant universities in the North Central region are moving toward a similar basis for generating nitrogen recommendations.

Robert Mullen

If our colleges and universities do not breed men who riot, who rebel, who attack life with all the youthful vim and vigor, then there is something wrong with our colleges. The more riots that come on college campuses, the better world for tomorrow.

William Allen White

We, as the leaders of the universities, the colleges and technical institutions, have an important role to play in making this a reality.

Jim Edwards

Basically we're one of very few major universities without a conference center related to the campus. The one we're building is actually modest in size. We can add on to it in the future.

Robin Kaler

I've never known this to happen and it is a very serious issue. We depend on that money to provide access to our universities.

Carolyn Roberts

IBM is collaborating with universities around the world to develop innovative technologies and business models. The Academic Initiative provides students with direct access to cutting edge tools and business insight in an effort to prepare them for jobs in the growing and rapidly changing IT industry.

Buell Duncan

We need nurses in all places -- in universities and in hospitals -- and the only way to solve this problem is to train more.

Patti Smoake

That amount is equivalent to $500 million and can support 20 students at local universities for a whole year.

Job Sikhala

This is a new experience for us. ESPNU, once it gets its legs, so to speak, will be really good for colleges and universities who can't get contracts with ABC and CBS.

Dee Todd

You have to look around and see that a lot of positions turn over in universities. CSU has been fortunate in other positions. I think it's just a part of the business.

Jeff Hathaway

We have a large underclass in Britain, and a fairly low standard of education. Our best universities are extremely good, but a very significant proportion of the British population that comes out of compulsory schooling with very low standards of education.

Nigel Short

They have a lot of colleges and universities (in Michigan), ... but they don't have a lot of jobs.

Claire Ellis

We need more funding and more help from other areas of the school, even admissions. Other universities offer early admissions. If you want to compete at that level, you need 80 per cent. Other universities offer a leeway to 75 per cent.

Peyvand Mossavat

Obviously, it's a much larger project, and it would be unfair to compare it to the timetables of other universities.

Tysen Kendig

[He knows how to dramatize his subject matter.] The faculty retaining ownership is the last bulwark of defense of the universities as they exist, ... It's high noon.

David Noble

We clearly need to develop a more systematic approach to services innovation if we are to sustain this vital new sector in the economy. It is critical that we work with universities to create curricula that provide students entering the workforce with skills and training needed for growing our services business.

Paul Horn

Excellence in academia does not limit itself to rich neighborhoods. We have students with potential for excellence in small towns, in the periphery. We must reach out to such people and bring them to the universities.

David Menashri

We're hoping that this will move out to other universities. As they work on technology transfer, we hope they'll share some of that income with non-profit groups.

Nancy Clement

I am proud of the success of our student staff program, the selection and training of RAs, the caliber of their work and their strong reputation on campus. The reputation of our professional staff is strong, as well. This year, Seton Hall was selected as one of 12 universities in the country to be studied and observed for best practices of the staff.

Craig Allen

When I see the move of RFID into universities, it concerns me, ... It is sending a message that not only do we not have to worry about privacy but you can profit from it by a career perspective.

Katherine Albrecht

For public universities, it is inevitable that the legislative and executive branch appropriations are going to have to be reassessed every year. There's never an ironclad guarantee.

Greg Nichols

For example, Ireland is extremely competitive in their financial incentives to attract businesses and they have some of the top universities in the world as well. This grant makes Kentucky competitive in attracting businesses on a global scale, which is what is needed if we want to build a knowledge-based economy.

Billy Frey

The University of Kansas and the California State system have already gone to PeopleSoft. Universities across the country are going through this transition.

Doug Swink

It's a tough time in the state, but I was pretty confident that everyone (public universities) would share the pain equally, ... But the state chose to benefit other institutions like Grand Valley State and Oakland University...as they say, we sank, they swam.

James Holden

UC was hit less than a lot of universities around the U.S. for things [we have] already done.

Greg Hand

Every coach handles it a little bit differently, but it makes sense to have universal policies [for discipline]. The NCAA is not going to do that. So there has to be pressure put on the universities, and I think you'll see more of this in the next year or two.

Dave Maggard

I would make the analogy that if my son or daughter had legal problems, I would try to get the best representation possible, and that's the way universities view these firms.

Richard Lapchick

We had architects and people from other universities come here to look at our building. This was built during the energy crisis of the '70s so it was good. Now we are spending millions of dollars to undo what we once won awards for.

Tony Warner

I can't understand these chaps who go round American universities explaining how they write poems: It's like going round explaining how you sleep with your wife.

Philip Larkin

Yes, there are marks for knowing Spanish which is the second biggest language spoken in the US. Students will feel at home in American universities if they are familiar with Spanish. There are points in academics as well as in jobs.

Vinolia Lobo

Unfortunately, research institutions and universities have not taken this issue seriously. They pay lip service to responsible conduct and research integrity.

Adil Shamoo

I think we all have to remember that we could have a university without a football team. A lot of universities don't have football teams. But we can't have a football team without a university. The university will always come first.

Jim Haslam

The bottom line is any new discoveries made at the regent universities, we want to do our best to make sure the dollars generated from them remain in Iowa.

Jennifer Mullin

The NCAA and universities should not be in the business of marketing a product that is the leading cause of death among college students. Also, it should be noted that the alcohol advertising does not leave the younger audiences untouched. Ten year olds are rooting for their favorite teams, meanwhile, being subjected to the promotion of alcohol use.

Dean Smith

Originally St. John's was one of the best universities in mainland China, with many great accomplishments by its alumni. Already here in Taiwan as an institute we have accomplished much. Becoming a formal university will mean finally restoring the great legacy of St. John's University.

Peter Yang

We think Tallahassee's a good market. It has two major universities and is the seat of government as well as associations throughout Florida.

George Glover

What public universities need to do is be the sources of access, hope and opportunity for young people in the state.

Doug Bradley

The principal problem that universities face is money, ... This is expensive technology to deploy.

Paul Morris

There were 200 fans from Alabama, Utah and Georgia that bought tickets through their universities. We're already half sold out, which for us is very good. We're usually a walk-up kind of event.

Jason Amberg

There's a lot to be proud of. Overall, public schools will see an increase; universities will see an increase. We have protected the social safety net, which is a tremendous goal given the economic times we face.

Greg Bird

America has a strategic interest in continuing to welcome international students at our colleges, universities, and high schools. Attracting the world's top scientific scholars helps to keep our economy competitive.

Norm Coleman

Highly educated young people are tutored, taught and monitored in all aspects of their lives, except the most important, which is character building. When it comes to this, most universities leave them alone.

David Brooks

Colleges and universities are really people-driven places. The bulk of the expense is in salary and benefits.

Travis Reindl

Even when students graduate from universities, they are not able to fill the intellectual positions that need to be filled. They are not capable of generating new ideas.

Ammar Abdulhamid

I see so many positives. We need a bolder vision for our public universities. I think the timing is right on that.

Mark Rosenberg

RESTITUTIONS, n. The founding or endowing of universities and public libraries by gift or bequest.

Ambrose Bierce

One of the things we're trying to do with these games is showcase what makes them different than a game at Ohio State or USC, ... And the things that make them different are the fans, the bands and the atmosphere. These are Historically Black Colleges and Universities and we would be missing the point if we would go in and treat them exactly like we would treat a game at Ohio State.

Mike Roth

It's the only game in town in terms of classifying colleges and universities, just because everybody uses it.

Travis Reindl

Business often does a good job supporting communities: the arts, universities, and scientific enterprises... But that philosophy has rarely reached poor countries. Even businesses that are enlightened in their home bases see Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia as places to exploit natural resources or use cheap labor.

Jeffrey Sachs

There are all kinds of forms that have to be filled in on the typewriter. I don't know why, but universities are one of the worst for insisting on forms. There is absolutely no sense to it. They insist on putting all the information into a little box.

James Allan

Piracy on campuses has been a concern for quite a while, and we have been actively engaged in a number of efforts with universities to get the word out to students. This particular trend or growing problem is something that is a more recent development, and we are working on all fronts to stay on top of all means of piracy and addressing them.

Gayle Osterberg

We count on the city for fire service, but we've contemplated starting our own fire service in the past. (Universities) have two options: you either work with the city or you start your own fire service.

Dennis Bailey

He just loves universities and is enthusiastic about what we do with our students and our faculty, ... He beams every time a student wins an award or a faculty member has a significant publication or research grant or teaching award. In my way of thinking, he represents the best in American higher education.

John Peters

The learning communities tie academics to the student's living area so there's no separation between the two. It's a concept that more and more universities are adopting.

Tina Sheppard

This is really very special because it's the first class. I think this is very important for the sport of college baseball, and important for their respective universities.

John Askins

Students are the stockholders in the university system and deserve to have their vote count on issues such as taxes on textbooks, tuition increases and funding for different universities.

James Touchton

This is another indication that universities are starting to recognize the quality of our programs and students.

Thomas Gould

We have been to other universities, and have observed that there is a growing interest in Italian. Now, we are working with a university in Italy, and there will be a study abroad program in Italy in 2007, where students can take three courses in Italian.

Juan Alcarria

Rather than select one vendor over another, as some universities have done, we have elected to facilitate as many vendors as possible to insure competition and enable choice.

David Swartz

Universities are very aware and sensitive to LEED and sustainable design, but most see the certification process as costly and burdensome, with no tangible benefit.

Mike Brennan

I'm glad our offer of privatization as an option for all 4-year state-supported colleges and universities in South Carolina has stirred the pot a bit.

Mark Sanford

Very few universities anywhere can say that they affected the lives of 8,000 people in 20 years.

Charles Green

It's a major problem for us, and it's been a major problem for us since Day 1 of the storm. A lot of our fellow research universities have made some of our best people some very lucrative offers.

Charles Zewe

What I've most commonly heard from our campuses and other public universities and what I've seen is that there is not as much of a response to the program as some people would have expected and some people would have alleged or feared, depending on what side of the issue you're on.

Travis Reindl

That may not sound like a huge amount of money but for some kids it may mean the money to buy all their books or pay for housing, ... Also, a lot of colleges and universities have become our collegiate partners and are offering scholarship recipients matching scholarships.

Dan Jorgensen

This reinforces the need for colleges and universities to affirm that student media are designated public forums.

Mead Loop

This just takes your breath away, ... I think our universities need to be more aggressive in planning for and getting resources for growth.

Carolyn Roberts

If written directions alone would suffice, libraries wouldn't need to have the rest of the universities attached.

Judith Martin

It's very interesting why that is. I think it's mainly because nothing high-profile has happened. Most of the people who have been injured and killed are not at major universities.

Greg Skidmore

Universities have made impressive progress in combating piracy of music and movies through educational efforts, technical controls, and the adoption of legitimate online services. At the same time, we in higher education must expand the reach of our efforts and must continue to be vigilant.

Graham Spanier

Some universities run their billing internally and are able to charge, say, $6 per month while paying CDIGX only $3.49. It was possible for UMKC to make a profit in this way. We chose direct billing through CDIGX in order to give students the lowest possible price.

Andy Goodenow

I applaud Director (Robert) Mueller for reaching out to Iowa State and other universities.

Gregory Geoffroy

We believe this commitment to education is a win-win. It helps students and parents pay for college, while strengthening our partnership with colleges and universities.

Diane Morais

No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.

J. Robert Oppenheimer

September is a busy time in the rentals market with many people starting new jobs and the new academic year starting in universities and colleges.

John Heron

As far as education about it goes, it's probably something that should be discussed in universities and high schools across the country.

Becky Lofstead

As far as we know nationwide, we're the first with this kind of thing. There is local programming but most are associated with universities.

Karen Zabriskie

A society that thinks the choice between ways of living is just a choice between equally eligible "lifestyles" turns universities into academic cafeterias offering junk food for the mind.

George F. Will

That's why we are now starting to refer to ourselves as a university. We are now one of several universities in the university of South Florida system.

Mark Durand

That's the condition for going ahead to a larger plan (for universities) that has courage and is visionary. I believe in win-win situations.

Mark Rosenberg

We also have other programs that are affiliated programs. We have a relationship with international institutions, and we have NT students in universities around the world.

Dickie Hargrave

This could be good news for North American universities.

Bakul Dholakia

Nothing characterizes the tradition of college football more than the Georgia-Florida game in Jacksonville. It is one of the nation's most unique and enduring rivalries and we are excited that Jacksonville will continue to host this very special event that has meant so much not only to both universities, but also college football on a national level.

Damon Evans

It's a broad piece of legislation that covers grants, loans, oversight of colleges and universities.

Phil Bloomer

Actually, problems here are very, very minimal compared to other universities.

Louis Pitschmann

I think it's wonderful that students can get scholarships to play athletics at universities. But the fact that you can't do that in the Ivy League just makes it extra special. It's really in the vein of the true student-athlete.

Dean Cain

Ideally, the piece will continue to grow in the future and be performed at more and more universities - as a communal commemoration of King.

Colin Tribby

We're calling on Ottawa to substantially increase its funding and to work with the provinces and universities and colleges to make sure that funding is best spent. That partnership has to exist. The money should flow through the provinces.

Pat Binns

I think that the Common Application group adds three or four, maybe five universities a year. Many of us in the college admission field have used it for a number of years. We submitted our application; they reviewed it and gave us the go-ahead to be part of the group.

Joan Mcdonald

In this century, the seminal driver of innovation is knowledge. Given that universities are major producers in the global knowledge economy, they become pivotal in this race to maintain a viable economic base that can sustain a high quality of life.

Mark Rosenberg

You will most likely find a tremendous difference in opinion from certain Ohio universities.

Herb Asher

When all factors were weighed, it was collectively decided that playing next year's game versus Miami on Labor Day night was in the best interest of all parties concerned. Miami never had the opportunity to host the game on that day and the viewership and exposure for the ACC and both universities from our game 10 days ago was exceptional.

David Hart

Universities need to get further in touch with things going on outside the ivory towers. At the same time, things going on outside the ivory towers deserved to be discussed in an intelligent and critical way.

Davarian Baldwin

One of the great strong points of this university is the lack of institutional barriers to this kind of thing. In some very top-down universities, it's very hard to collaborate with people outside your departments, if not impossible. But here, it's quite open and has been for quite some time.

Michael Pariza

For British universities to remain amongst the foremost destinations for international higher education, we urge the government to support our efforts, and avoid putting any unnecessary barriers in our way.

Drummond Bone

It's one of the top universities in the U.S. and it's right in my backyard. Just with that, it would have been tough to pass up. Getting a chance to play basketball, which is exactly what I want to do, made it a perfect fit.

Brett Valentyn

The school district doesn't have to be the provider. We will work with a consortium of people to use libraries and universities to house pre-K programs.

Roger Tilles

Each year the Georgia Life Sciences Summit sets a new attendance record, ... Escalating enthusiasm for the Summit reflects the dramatic growth of the state's bioscience industry and its impact far beyond Georgia. The 2005 Summit will be the best ever, showcasing advanced science and R&D at Georgia's publicly traded and privately held companies and the state's world-class universities.

Charles Craig

It was completely 'guilty till proven innocent' instead of the other way around. It's a shame. . . . I've been reserving judgment until the trial. You'd think the administration at Duke, one of the finest universities in the country, would react the same way.

Dave Stilley

Our opponents say he shouldn't be president because he didn't study in an Ivy League school and because he doesn't use the language of globalization. The [previous presidents] spoke good English and went to good universities, but their programs weren't positive; they didn't generate growth or reduce poverty.

Camacho Solis

I made the comment that this isn't the 60s and 70s. The universities want to be helpful. We understand the threats to the country and, unlike in the past, there is a real opportunity for cooperation that is beneficial to both sides.

Robert Gates

There are more college kids in IT-related programs, but universities still are not keeping up with industry demand. About 30,000 to 35,000 students will graduate this year in all computer science-related fields. But that represents a 10-1 spread between the supply of students and the shortage.

Howard Rubin

Universities are increasingly opening Kosher dining facilities because they recognize that it shows their interest in recruiting and keeping Jewish students. More parents looking at schools are asking a threshold question of whether there is a Hillel on campus.

Jeff Rubin

All of the state universities are seeing more and more students apply because of Bright Futures.

Janice Finney

Having watched their children grow up with a keyboard at their fingertips, parents know that their kids will inevitably turn to their computers for entertainment. And parents also know that downloading music is easy, prevalent and often illegal. These days, colleges and universities can offer alternatives that are just as easy and available, but more importantly to parents, legal.

James Boyle

The Supreme Court explained to universities how it is that they can take race into account in admitting students, and it does lay a road map for the next 25 years on how they'll do that.

Thomas Goldstein

This was just an episode, not a trend. It involved individuals, not teams or universities.

Terry Denbow

Freedom of inquiry and of expression are what universities are all about, and freedom of speech is a cornerstone of our democracy.

David Mcclain

I remember Charlie making a statement about it last year. But this [series] has been going on for 78 years. And chancellors sign off on everything at our universities.

Bill Hayes

For most colleges and universities, tuition is the largest share of revenue. If you're getting 80 percent of your revenue from tuition and you lose half your students, you're facing enormous difficulties.

Terry W. Hartle

It shouldn't take something like that for universities and conferences to do something about it.

Greg Skidmore

There is an ongoing conflict between 'whole organism' and 'molecular' approaches to studying insects. Friction has evolved because molecular biology is taking over a tremendous amount of resources, including funding and space within universities.

Mark Hunter

One of my biggest issues with cognitive radio is that while there is some brilliant, sophisticated work being done, it is hard to see how it will translate into something we can bring to market in five years, We'd like to see a standardization effort emerge with a group of companies, governments and universities. Then it's healthy, and you have a real potential for market uptake.

Bill Krenik

Tuition fees are the biggest change British universities have had in years.

Chris Madden

I hope other universities will do this. Especially with tuition fees there's a feeling that when you leave university you have to be employable now. There's a real drive for students to differentiate themselves.

Felix Cohen

To subject colleges to uniform standards is to trivialize what goes on in higher education. Excellence comes in many unusual ways. You cannot apply the rules of high-stakes testing in high schools to universities.

Leon Botstein

We hope that Western will become known as the centre to go to for aboriginal policy research. Other universities have diverse strengths, but we feel confident that we are leaders in research that directly improves policies to benefit Aboriginal peoples.

Jerry White

This is state of the art technology that will put us ahead of most other universities because most other universities don't have this technology.

Alicia Browne

They'll be working together on academic programs. But it will remain one of the seven universities of the state system.

John Diamond

This is an all-around good thing. I suspect that Michigan, with the two largest universities signing on, will move in the direction perhaps more quickly than other states.

Barmak Nassirian

We will also have entertainment, free food and a campus tour. Although other universities have run similar programs, ours has become so large, even our national office representatives will be attending.

Stephanie Dalton

Westernization, coupled with globalization, has created an affluent and leisured elite that now gravitates to universities, the media, bureaucracies, and world organizations, all places where wealth is not created, but analyzed, critiqued, and lavishly spent.

Victor Davis Hanson

For most positions on campus, the market isn't defined by all of the other D-I basketball universities. The competition here, for our academic positions, is schools similar to us in mission, size and geographic location. But in basketball, since we've garnered significant national attention, our market became national.

Mike Roth

Universities UK has grave concerns that certain elements of the Terrorism Bill might cut across academic freedoms.

Drummond Bone

Is it fair or wise to place strict controls on legal immigration when little is done to stem illegal entry? Preference should be given to younger persons who will get jobs and are likely to make a long-term commitment to the country, such as the many men and women who want to study at American universities.

Gary Becker

So many times we get 30 students at the State House, from two universities and they have a broken message. We wanted to get as many students as possible and make this a statewide initiative to show unity.

Tom Crawford

The students and faculty of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities are motivated survivors and self-achievers. We look forward to providing them with effective tools and supportive services that assist them in maximizing their health as they work to transform their communities.

He's talked a lot about the need to increase New York's brain power to make sure that New York can compete nationally and globally with many of the countries that are starting to develop further. And we're urging him that the best way to start is investing in the state's colleges and universities.

Miriam Kramer

I think it's not just the universities. It's the executives in the boardroom.

Linda Hirshman

I think that the balance needs to be restored, and I would note that in the camp in which I am in, one finds libraries, universities, the Internet industry, the manufacturers of digital media, and consumers.

Rick Boucher

There is a lot of turnover in those positions. People move on to other universities, into the corporate world, whatever.

Sheldon Steinbach

These top kids should be taking one or two of those classes every year if they can, because universities will look at that.

Shirlee Lehnis

For example, there are many universities and many countries where you cannot become an obstetrician if you have not assisted at and performed a certain number of abortions.

Cardinal Lozano

This is important because it promotes cooperation among universities. That's how you can really move forward and move forward more rapidly.

Larry Lemanski

People are trying to preserve what already exists. I would like to see people discuss how they can make Douglass better and continue attracting women to the school. Universities are constantly evolving, and we can lose sight of that if we're too loud. Will saving the college as it is actually enrich it?

Barry Qualls

What we opposed was that federal aid should go to these virtual universities that disguise themselves as colleges, where it's just something on the Internet with no resources behind it.

Sarah Flanagan

It is extremely important for universities to step up because they have a huge economic buying power and what they do matters to the community. It's going to improve our air quality greatly and the state. It's a way to invest in a cleaner community.

Tiffany Thompson

We spent a lot of time building it. A lot of other universities purchased the software.

Peter Briggs

Have not prisons - which kill all will and force of character in man, which enclose within their walls more vices than are met with on any other spot of the globe - always been universities of crime?

Peter Kropotkin

Our location is centrally located in Montcalm County near cities and several universities, and that also tends to attract physicians and their families.

Steve Scott

There are so many great universities in North Carolina, ... so just to be nominated was a accomplishment for me and my family.

Shannon Davis

The goal of (the report) was to shed awareness on harassment and assess the campus climate. We hope to promote dialogue and hope it extends beyond the student body to the faculty and administrations at universities.

Elena Silva

I think all across this country young people at colleges and universities emphasize the excessive use of alcohol to a far greater extent than is appropriate in preparing themselves for life.

Elizabeth Hoffman

Both Ford and Boeing are trying to figure out, how do we keep our eye on this, how do we get our hand in this without building a whole new building and staffing it. The universities are really the primary place where technical research is done in this country -- some is done at national labs -- but the universities are really generally the first point where the basic research gets done.

Ed Krause

Another benefit is we hope that the alliance with draw Ford and Boeing together even more so. We've learned a lot of valuable things from Boeing and they have from us over the years. This alliance will be a great way for us to start working together at universities.

Ed Krause

There's only so much you can do when you're using loaner equipment from the universities.

Evan Thomas

Every time we raise federal spending, universities go ahead and raise tuition. Are the students ever going to get ahead?

Erik Iverson

The goal, as a whole for the challenge, is 3,000 units collected in collaboration with the three other universities. The challenge this year could save 9,000 lives.
