DR. RENU KHATOR, THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU THINK... |
| 00:00:49 |
|
THIS IS A DOUBLE SIDED PROBLEM. WE HAVE TO SEE HOW IT IS THAT THE EDUCATION PROVIDES ACCESS TO SOME... |
| 00:01:20 |
|
WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THE HIGHER EDUCATION? |
| 00:01:24 |
|
THEY HAVE BEEN ASKING ME THIS REPEATEDLY, SUCH AS WHEN I WENT TO INDIA. I WAS ABLE TO DO A LOT OF ... |
| 00:01:55 |
|
WHEN WERE YOU THERE MOST RECENTLY? |
| 00:01:58 |
|
I WENT THERE AND HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF MEETING WITH THE PRIME MINISTER, AND THE CABINET. WE HAD A... |
| 00:02:30 |
|
HAS THERE EVER BEEN AN INDIAN AS THE PRESIDENT OR THE CHANCELLOR OF A UNIVERSITY IN THIS COUNTRY? |
| 00:02:37 |
|
NOT FOR A MAJOR RESEARCH UNIVERSITY. I AM IN THE FIRST ONE. |
| 00:02:46 |
|
-- I AM THE FIRST ONE. |
| 00:02:50 |
|
WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOUR COUNTRYMEN? |
| 00:02:53 |
|
EVERYBODY IS SO HAPPY THAT SOMETIMES -- IN TAMPA, THIS WAS A HUGE CELEBRATION. THERE WERE TALKING... |
| 00:03:25 |
|
WE WILL COME BACK TO THE TRAVELS TO THIS COUNTRY -- BUT FIRST, TELL US ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON.... |
| 00:03:34 |
|
THIS WAS FOUNDED IN 1927, THIS IS ABOUT 81 YEARS OLD. THIS IS A SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION. THERE... |
| 00:04:15 |
|
HOW MUCH IS THE BUDGET? |
| 00:04:19 |
|
THIS IS OVER $1 BILLION. |
| 00:04:22 |
|
USE SPENT 22 YEARS WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA. WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS SWITCH, AND HOW DID YOU GET... |
| 00:04:31 |
|
I WAS HERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND I BELIEVE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE IS ABOUT THAT. I WAS ONCE THE LEADER... |
| 00:05:35 |
|
WHO MAKES UP THE BOARD? |
| 00:05:40 |
|
THERE ARE NINE MEMBERS, ALL OF THEM ARE APPOINTED BY THE COMMITTEE. |
| 00:05:45 |
|
WHAT IS YOUR FIRST DAY? |
| 00:05:46 |
|
JANUARY 15. |
| 00:05:51 |
|
WHERE WERE YOU BORN? |
| 00:05:55 |
|
I WAS BORN IN NORTHERN INDIA, ABOUT 220 MILES AWAY FROM NEW DELHI. THIS IS A VERY SMALL TOWN. |
| 00:06:05 |
|
WHAT WAS LIFE LIKE EARLY ON? |
| 00:06:09 |
|
LET ME SEE -- AT THE LIFE WAS ACTUALLY GREAT. CHILDHOOD WAS WONDERFUL. MY FATHER -- HE WAS AN ATTORNEY... |
| 00:07:37 |
|
WHAT WAS YOUR RELIGION? AND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN COMPARED TO THE OTHER RELIGIONS THAT THEY ARE PRACTICING?... |
| 00:07:48 |
|
THE HINDUS ARE PREDOMINANT IN INDIA, A LARGE PERCENTAGE ARE HINDU. I GREW UP IN A TOWN THAT HAS A ... |
| 00:08:24 |
|
HOW DO THE WOMEN FIGURE INTO THIS? |
| 00:08:30 |
|
TRADITIONALLY -- WOMEN HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED A GREAT POSITION. THERE ARE MULTIPLE GODS AND GODDESSES,... |
| 00:09:22 |
|
WHAT YEAR WERE YOU MARRIED? |
| 00:09:23 |
|
1974. I WAS 18. |
| 00:09:29 |
|
AND I HEARD THAT THIS WAS AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE. |
| 00:09:36 |
|
I WAS -- I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE -- AND I WANTED TO GO TO A MASTER'S PROGRAM. BUT MY TOWN DID NOT... |
| 00:11:44 |
|
IS THIS THE NORMAL TRADITION? |
| 00:11:46 |
|
THIS WAS THE TRADITION AT THAT TIME. MOST OF THE MARRIAGES ARE ARRANGED AT THIS TIME, ALTHOUGH THERE... |
| 00:12:10 |
|
YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER -- THEY ARE UPPER-CLASS INDIAN, THEY ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL? |
| 00:12:18 |
|
A VERY SUCCESSFUL. |
| 00:12:21 |
|
HOW WERE YOU LIVING? |
| 00:12:24 |
|
THIS WAS THREE STORY, WITH 40 ROOMS. WE HAD SEVEN SERVANTS. THIS WAS A VERY PRIVILEGED CHILDHOOD. |
| 00:12:33 |
|
AND YOU ARE MARRIED TO THIS SAME MAN, HOW MANY YEARS? |
| 00:12:39 |
|
WE HAVE THE 34TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. |
| 00:12:45 |
|
THIS MAY SOUND CRAZY, BUT DID YOU EVER FALL IN LOVE? |
| 00:12:50 |
|
I AM VERY MUCH IN LOVE WITH HIM. IF YOU ARE MEETING WITH HIM -- HE IS JUST WONDERFUL. THE LOVE JUST... |
| 00:13:22 |
|
WAS THAT YOUR FATHER WHO FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS? |
| 00:13:26 |
|
MY UNCLE WAS IN THE SAME HOMETOWN. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS THIS YOUNG MAN -- HE IS IN THE UNITED STATES,... |
| 00:13:49 |
|
WHAT IS HIS NAME? AND WHERE WAS HE STUDYING? |
| 00:13:58 |
|
HE WAS DOING ENGINEERING. I FOLLOWED HIM AFTER WE GOT MARRIED, AND A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER -- I WAS... |
| 00:14:12 |
|
GOING BACK TO THIS SCENE -- DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN YOU CAME BACK HOME FROM SCHOOL, THAT YOUR FATHER... |
| 00:14:21 |
|
ABSOLUTELY NOT. I HAD NO IDEA. ONCE IT WAS DECIDED, I WAS ENGAGED THE SAME DAY, I DID NOT HEAT FOR... |
| 00:15:07 |
|
WHEN THEY FOUND THIS MAN -- THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT HIM FOR A LONG TIME? |
| 00:15:15 |
|
THE FAMILY -- THEY WERE IN THE PROXIMITY. THEY DID NOT KNOW VERY MUCH, AND TYPICALLY WHAT IS GOING... |
| 00:16:11 |
|
WELL WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF HE HAD NOT LIKE YOU? |
| 00:16:15 |
|
HE TOTALLY TO HAVE BACKED AWAY. HE DID NOT BRING HIS FATHER WITH HIM, AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HE... |
| 00:16:51 |
|
HE CHOSE TO. |
| 00:16:57 |
|
DID YOU APPLY FOR THIS JOB? |
| 00:17:01 |
|
I WAS CONTACTED. THERE WAS A SEARCHING AGENCY, THEY WERE CONTACTING ME AND ASKING ME IF I WOULD BE... |
| 00:17:30 |
|
THERE WERE 200 PEOPLE WHO APPLIED? |
| 00:17:34 |
|
THIS WAS DEFINITELY OVER 100 -- I AM NOT CERTAIN. |
| 00:17:42 |
|
THIS IS VERY INTERESTING, BUT IN THE END -- WHAT YOU THINK YOU WERE CHOSEN? |
| 00:17:48 |
|
THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CHOSE ME BECAUSE I HAD A FIRE IN MY BELLY. |
| 00:17:55 |
|
IS THIS AN INDIAN EXPRESSION? |
| 00:17:59 |
|
APPARENTLY THEY INTERVIEWED FOUR DIFFERENT CANDIDATES, I WAS EXPECTING -- THEY BROUGHT DOWN THE RESEARCH... |
| 00:18:45 |
|
WHAT IS HE DOING? |
| 00:18:49 |
|
HE IS A PROFESSOR OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING. THEY WERE MEETING AND THEY DECIDED I WAS THE BEST PERSON.... |
| 00:19:01 |
|
I WILL READ A LOT OF MATERIAL ABOUT YOU, THEY WERE WANTING YOU TO TAKE THIS TO THE NEXT LEVEL. YOU... |
| 00:19:18 |
|
I DID A LOT OF STUDIES, GOING TO THE NATIONAL DATABASES TO DISCOVER WHERE THEY WERE, AND EVERY STATISTIC... |
| 00:21:38 |
|
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST MAJEURE THE THING THAT YOU WILL DO WITH THIS? |
| 00:21:46 |
|
RE YOU GOING TO HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE? |
| 00:21:49 |
|
THIS IS A VERY CLASSY UNIVERSITY, THIS WAS ESTABLISHED WITH A DIFFERENT PURPOSE. THEY HAVE A FINE... |
| 00:22:30 |
|
WHO DETERMINES WHO WILL BE HERE? |
| 00:22:34 |
|
THEY WILL NOMINATE PEOPLE TO BE PART OF THIS, THEY JUST HAVE A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE. THIS MEANS THAT... |
| 00:23:33 |
|
HOW MUCH MONEY ARE YOU GETTING RIGHT NOW FROM THE FEDERAL TAXPAYERS? |
| 00:23:39 |
|
FROM THE FEDERAL TAXES -- |
| 00:23:44 |
|
THIS IS ABOUT $50 MILLION. |
| 00:23:47 |
|
HOW MUCH DOES THE STATE OF TEXAS GET. |
| 00:23:54 |
|
THE TOTAL CONTRACTS -- THESE ARE ABOUT 300 MILLION EACH. |
| 00:24:00 |
|
FROM THE FEDS? |
| 00:24:01 |
|
THIS IS TOTAL. |
| 00:24:07 |
|
WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR MORE FEDERAL GRANTS? |
| 00:24:10 |
|
THIS IS GOING THROUGH THE LAW AND THE BUSINESS. THESE ARE NOT THE AREAS THAT HAVE THAT INTENSE RESEARCH... |
| 00:25:11 |
|
AND YOU HAVE ANDERSON? |
| 00:25:12 |
|
ANDERSON IS PART OF THIS. WE HAVE THE LARGEST MEDICAL FACILITY IN THE WORLD. THEY HAVE INVITED US... |
| 00:25:46 |
|
I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE OTHER THING. WHY DID YOU GET INTERESTED IN POLITICAL SCIENCE? WHAT INTRODUCE... |
| 00:25:57 |
|
SOMETIMES THE PEOPLE IN SPIRAEA. |
| 00:26:08 |
|
-- INSPIRED MEE ME. THE COLLEGE STYLE WAS GOING TO WAS VERY NEW, I AM VERY HAPPY THAT THEY OPENED... |
| 00:26:52 |
|
ARE YOU STILL IN TOUCH WITH THE POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR? AND WHERE IS SHE RIGHT NOW? |
| 00:26:59 |
|
SHE IS IN MY HOME TOWN. |
| 00:27:03 |
|
YOU WENT ON TO GET A POLITICAL SCIENCE MASTERS. YOU ARE NOW 18 YEARS OLD -- AND 10 DAYS AFTER YOU... |
| 00:27:21 |
|
I WAS CRYING BECAUSE I WANTED TO STUDY. MY HUSBAND -- AFTER THE ENGAGEMENT, WE SPOKE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES.... |
| 00:28:36 |
|
HE WAS FOLLOWING YOU TO THE UNIVERSITY? |
| 00:28:39 |
|
HE SAYS HE STARTED HIS JOB THE DAY BEFORE THAT I WAS DOING THIS. |
| 00:28:44 |
|
YOUR 18 YEARS OLD AND MARRIED? |
| 00:28:48 |
|
AMERICA BECAME THE HONEYMOON. WE ARE STILL ON THE HONEYMOON. |
| 00:28:54 |
|
WHEN DID SHE LEAVE INDIA? |
| 00:28:58 |
|
HE ONLY WENT HOME FOR ABOUT FIVE WEEKS OF VACATION. I THINK THAT -- I SPOKE TO HIM ABOUT THE PASSPORT... |
| 00:30:31 |
|
HOW WAS THIS TEACHING YOU THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE? |
| 00:30:34 |
|
I COULD FOLLOW THIS FROM THE ACTIONS, BECAUSE IF I WAS JUST WATCHING THE NEWS, -- THERE WAS NOTHING... |
| 00:31:12 |
|
HE LEFT THE CLASSROOM -- HE SAYS HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING. AND HE SAID WE NEEDED TO TALK TO THE... |
| 00:31:47 |
|
HOW DID YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? |
| 00:31:53 |
|
I COULD READ THIS WITH A LOT OF DIFFICULTY. |
| 00:31:56 |
|
WHAT WERE YOU SPEAKING WITH HIM? WHAT WERE YOUR GRADES? |
| 00:32:05 |
|
I GOT A'S. |
| 00:32:09 |
|
THIS PROBABLY DROVE PEOPLE CRAZY, THEY WERE WONDERING HOW YOU WERE DOING THIS. THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO... |
| 00:32:19 |
|
THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO WERE SPENDING THREE HOURS IN THE CLASSROOM, AND I WAS SPENDING 20 HOURS -- I... |
| 00:32:42 |
|
OR YOU PARTICIPATING IN THE DISCUSSION? |
| 00:32:48 |
|
I WAS DOING THIS IN A FREE- FLOWING CONVERSATION -- THIS IS BECAUSE THAT WHEN I WAS FORMULATING THIS... |
| 00:33:20 |
|
MEANWHILE, YOU ARE MARRIED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, IN THIS PROCESS. YOU ARE IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY... |
| 00:33:33 |
|
I HAD NEVER BEEN ON AN AIRPLANE. |
| 00:33:36 |
|
AND NOW YOU ARE SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE -- IS THERE ANY ADVICE FOR THE OTHERS? SOME OF THEM ARE FACING... |
| 00:33:45 |
|
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE FIRE IN YOUR BELLY. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF PASSION. |
| 00:33:52 |
|
WHICH YOU GET THIS -- WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS AND EVERYONE ELSE IS BUSY MAKING LEMONADE, YOU HAVE... |
| 00:34:02 |
|
THIS CAME AS MANY YEARS AGO. AFTER THIS -- SOMEBODY GAVE ME A CARD WITH A SIMILAR LINE, SO I HAVE... |
| 00:34:23 |
|
HOW MANY CHILDREN? |
| 00:34:26 |
|
I HAVE A COUPLE DAUGHTERS. BOTH OF THEM ARE OPHTHALMOLOGISTS. ONE OF THEM -- SHE IS A GLOVE, SURGEON,... |
| 00:34:41 |
|
ARE THEY MARRIED? |
| 00:34:45 |
|
SHE IS MARRIED, SHE MARRIED HER HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART, HE IS NOT INDIAN. HE IS CAUCASIAN. HE IS... |
| 00:35:15 |
|
YOU HAVE BEEN ASKED THIS QUESTION BEFORE, YOU DID NOT ARRANGE THE MARRIAGE. |
| 00:35:21 |
|
NOT FOR THE FIRST MARRIAGE. NINTH GRADE IS VERY EARLY, EVEN FOR THE AMERICANS, TO SAY THAT THEY WANT... |
| 00:35:42 |
|
WHAT IS YOUR ATTITUDE ABOUT THE ARE ARRANGED MARRIAGE, IS THIS GOOD OR BAD? |
| 00:35:51 |
|
THIS WAS WORKING VERY GOOD IN MY CASE. MANY PLACES -- THIS HAS NOT WORKED VERY WELL. BUT OTHER PLACES... |
| 00:36:46 |
|
I TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS EARLIER -- THIS IS A BEST SELLER BY AN INDIAN. THIS IS ALL ABOUT GLOBALISM, AND... |
| 00:37:23 |
|
COMPETITION IS NEVER A BAD THING. IN GLOBALIZATION, THIS WILL GO TO THE ADVANTAGE POSITION. THE KINDS... |
| 00:38:33 |
|
WHAT YEAR DID YOU GET YOUR PH.D.? |
| 00:38:38 |
|
I FINISHED IN 1975 -- AND THEN ME AND MY HUSBAND -- WE WENT BACK TO INDIA FOR FIVE YEARS. DURING... |
| 00:39:04 |
|
WHAT DID YOU DO DURING THOSE YEARS IN INDIA? |
| 00:39:09 |
|
MY HUSBAND WAS WORKING FOR A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PLACES, ONE OF THEM WAS A HIGHER EDUCATION TRAINING... |
| 00:39:54 |
|
GIVE US AN EXAMPLE OF A STORY LINE. |
| 00:39:57 |
|
MOSTLY THIS IS ABOUT A PERSON WHO IS LIKE ME, SOMEBODY WHO HAS LEFT THE COUNTRY, AND NOW THEY ARE... |
| 00:40:20 |
|
YOU HAVE WRITTEN YOUR OWN STORY? |
| 00:40:23 |
|
NOT YET, BUT I BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY I WILL. RIGHT NOW I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME. |
| 00:40:30 |
|
YOU ARE AN AMERICAN CITIZEN? |
| 00:40:34 |
|
I THINK I WILL TAKE THIS CITIZENSHIP BACK -- BUT RIGHT NOW I AM ONLY AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. |
| 00:40:44 |
|
ARE YOU SELLING THIS IN YOUR LANGUAGE? |
| 00:40:46 |
|
I WILL WORK FOR THE MAGAZINES, THE POPULAR MAGAZINES. WE ARE REACHING OUT TO THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE,... |
| 00:41:23 |
|
ONE OF PUBLISH THIS IN ENGLISH? |
| 00:41:26 |
|
I WILL PROBABLY WRITE A STORY. |
| 00:41:30 |
|
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS POLITICAL SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES AND INDIA? |
| 00:41:37 |
|
THIS IS A PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM, WE HAVE THE PARLIAMENT. WE WILL GIVE ALL OF THE POWER -- EVERYTHING... |
| 00:42:36 |
|
IN 20 YEARS, WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO LOOK LIKE, COMPARED TO WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW? |
| 00:42:43 |
|
IT DEPENDS ON WHAT INDIA IS GOING TO DO. ONE THING THAT I HAVE SEEN -- WE ARE TRYING TO SEE HOW EASY... |
| 00:44:23 |
|
ONE MAN SAYS THAT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM -- THERE IS THE IMPACT OF THE GLOBAL GROWTH ON THE NATURAL RESOURCES.... |
| 00:44:46 |
|
I CAN SEE THIS EVERYWHERE. I CAN SEE THIS -- IN MY HOME TOWN. WE NEVER SPOKE ABOUT WATER WHEN I WAS... |
| 00:45:10 |
|
EVEN IN YOUR HOME? |
| 00:45:12 |
|
I HAVE MY OWN SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM FOR WHERE THE WATER IS -- EVERYTHING IS UNDERGROUND. HE HAS THE LARGEST... |
| 00:46:22 |
|
DID YOU EVER THINK THAT YOU WERE WANTING TO RUN FOR POLITICAL OFFICE? |
| 00:46:27 |
|
THERE WAS A TIME -- A LONG TIME AGO, I WAS APPROACHED -- AND I SAID I WAS STUDYING POLITICAL SCIENCE.... |
| 00:46:48 |
|
BACK TO THIS -- THIS IS A BEST SELLER. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE WHAT THEY ARE HEARING. NATIONALISM... |
| 00:47:22 |
|
I THINK THIS IS TRUE FOR EVERY COUNTRY. I DO NOT JUST ALL-AMERICA. AT THE SAME TIME, THIS APPROACH... |
| 00:48:25 |
|
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA, WHAT ROLE AS SPORTS PLAYING -- WAS SPORTS PLAYING, AND HOW WILL... |
| 00:48:43 |
|
I AM A BIG FAN OF ATHLETICS. I WAS TRAINED AT PERDUE, I WAS VERY IMPRESSIONABLE -- AND I REALLY GOT... |
| 00:50:54 |
|
IN SOUTH FLORIDA, HOW BIG IS THIS UNIVERSITY? |
| 00:51:00 |
|
THERE WERE 4000 INDIVIDUALS -- |
| 00:51:03 |
|
THIS IS 57,000 PEOPLE. THIS IS THE SECOND OR THIRD MOST OF FIRST SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY? |
| 00:51:11 |
|
THIS IS THE FOURTH LARGEST. THIS IS EITHER THE MOST OF VERSE FOR THE SECOND MOST AVERSE UNIVERSITY.... |
| 00:51:20 |
|
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? |
| 00:51:24 |
|
WE HAVE 14% AFRICAN-AMERICANS -- WE HAVE 38% WHITES. THE BEAUTY IS THAT THIS IS NOT JUST NUMBERS.... |
| 00:52:00 |
|
YOU HAVE TO GO WITH 40% AFRICAN-AMERICANS -- 21% ASIANS -- AND 38% WHITE. |
| 00:52:10 |
|
AND THERE ARE SOME INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. |
| 00:52:13 |
|
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? |
| 00:52:16 |
|
THIS IS VERY DIVERSE. THE COMMUNITY IS TAKING PRIDE IN DIVERSITY. WHEN I GOT THERE -- I AM SUCH A ... |
| 00:52:35 |
|
GIVEN THE DIVERSITY OF THE SCHOOL -- THEY WOULD THINK THAT YOU ARE A PERFECT CHOICE. |
| 00:52:43 |
|
BUT THE FACT IS THAT -- I AM THE FIRST PERSON -- FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON. THEY HAD A FEMALE... |
| 00:53:44 |
|
WHAT WOULD IT COST TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL FOR ONE YEAR? |
| 00:53:49 |
|
THE TUITION IS ABOUT 5000 -- $5,100. |
| 00:53:55 |
|
IF YOU ARE IN THE STATE. |
| 00:54:02 |
|
WHAT WOULD THIS BE OUTSIDE OF THE STATE? |
| 00:54:05 |
|
I SAW THAT THERE WAS A 14% INCREASE IN TUITION? ONCE THIS WAS DEREGULATED IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, FOUR... |
| 00:54:41 |
|
WHY IS THE TUITION INCREASE IN ACROSS THE COUNTRY? |
| 00:54:44 |
|
THIS IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION. THE FACT IS THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE THE COST OF PRODUCING THIS. IF YOU... |
| 00:56:22 |
|
THIS IS ABOUT 30%. |
| 00:56:24 |
|
AND THIS IS GOING DOWN EVERY YEAR? WE ONLY HAVE A MINUTE LEFT -- IS THIS TRUE THAT THERE ARE NO SLEEPLESS... |
| 00:56:33 |
|
I WILL SLEEP VERY WELL. I AM VERY TRANSPARENT, I WILL MAKE MY DECISION AND SAY THIS IS EXACTLY WHY... |
| 00:56:48 |
|
SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT YOU CAN BE VERY DIRECT. |
| 00:56:52 |
|
I AM VERY DIRECT. |
| 00:56:54 |
|
WHEN DO WE KNOW THIS? |
| 00:56:58 |
|
FOR INSTANCE -- SOMEBODY WILL COME HERE, AND I WILL TELL THEM TO RETAIN MORE -- 25% OF THE STUDENTS... |
| 00:57:41 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DR. RENU KHATOR, THE PRESIDENT OF THE CANVAS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON. |
