And so we are very committed to this. Making Major Investments to grow with the demand. And i have had more than one person suggest to me an interesting idea. We are thinking about it. We ought to add Computer Science as a candidate for fulfilling our language requirement. It is a language just like spanish or german and perhaps in some age maybe even more useful. We ought to let that satisfy it is an intriguing animated by a sentiment much like yours. I suggest to we put in calculus, algorithms and algorithmic thinking. Doesnt have to include calculus. You have to have any particular scores. Statistically many of the scholars will notice. The single strongest correlate, four years of math. One simple thing is dial that up they are not there already. Keep the microphone here. Thank you. This is for president daniels. Next line, independent citizen. Behave yourself. What percentage of your students are us citizens and what percentage of your graduates end up working in the United States . How is this improve your thinking how policies that are working or not working in the country today . 85 percent of undergraduates and only 55 percent of graduate students are domestic. And we think we have talk about the undergraduates, 30,000 on the main campus. The rn about the right balance. One of the most diverse universities, 15 and in recent years of low iron that. The 1st foreign trip you take, make the effort on this campus. So we talk about that a lot. I think we had a recently good balance. I understand it is held hostage to other issues and immigration area. It is one of those things i think were people who disagree about other things understand comeau we take all the smart people who want to come here, and we think we keep about 15 . 15 . 15 percent. Its hard to know. Fifteen to 20 percent of the International Students not counting those who stay for graduate, but those are going to the workforce, multiple of that. Talking to hundreds and hundreds of them by now. And just a followup on your saying to an undergraduate, this is the most Diverse Community you would be in. Just look around you. Do you think in another itself it is an asset . Sure. But yes. Not to open up another subject for the most important of all is the diversity of you point and output. Demography. I will catch all of you. Then we will go over there. I would 1st like to challenge you. I would like to say that. My question is kind of flashback to my childhood. 43 percent of the American People cannot afford broadband. The new america foundation. We find the jobs after be applied for online. The internet is the new telephone. People no longer need to call 911. They need a way to communicate, basic communication. It is like theres 4 percent of americans not paying taxes. And they can afford broadband. Very disturbing. This is my question. We had a recent metro shut down and people found that they could do the work home, women found out they could make appointments, do reservations because they cannot travel and the city, their employers allow them to do their work home. Do you see that in the Digital Economy . We can create more roles for women that we can work from home but still not lose our pay because we are being just as productive . Change the mindset of the current people that are the leaders. We can create. Appointed you to look into these and any other issues. I will be cochairing this new Advisory Board on the Digital Economy. One of the questions that the Commerce Department has put time and effort into his access to the internet in rural areas. A lot of companies and put a have put a lot of time and effort into that as well. Your question about women working from home is more complicated because it gets back to issues mitch raised. There is a tension over whether people who work fulltime for a company from home get benefits were as if they go to an Office Building they would get benefits. We need to resolve some of the tension. Most of our population has been moving towards cities. For the vast numbers of women they are talking about , the issue is less iterative access and more some of these other benefit job conditions, issues, but certainly access to the internet universally in this country is something we have to pay critical attention to. If you look at china and other countries, it is not lost on them. That will be the engine of Economic Growth as well as individual opportunity. The core of your question is an interesting one. Being in a place with other people, we have seen marissa mayer, communion, quit trying to telecommute from home. You have to be physically around because people are more productive. Steve jobs felt that way as well. Yet it is somewhat discriminatory. Thirty years ago everyone said that it up again and television became bigger. There is a natural inclination. That is what this form thrives on, people like being together. Thank you very much. December of last year served as a county board supervisor. Now im in the private industry trying to earn a living. The levels of local, state or federal chuckling a bit. A lot of the action is taking place. Technology driven. The whole world of technology. Not confined. The agreement or whatever issues are involved. Technology is really for everybody. Areas with a great deal of diversity, a lot of folks are being left out, being in the Service Industry for folks want to have a cup of coffee and aa smile and get the change back and say have a nice day. What options are what do you say to folks with Vocational Training and Technology Certification might expedite a world into a higher ladder in society, more knowledgeable Technology Skills down the line . Workforce development, usually highpaying jobs and requires a high level of dedication. A lot of people for whatever reason might only have a high school diploma. So what is the suggestion that you offer . Anyone want to take that . That is exactly what the skill level is about. Going forward you will see employers more and more not look for a generic document. They will look for the aggregation of skills that im looking for because they will get a better price for it. Less expensive to get two or three certificates and the badge. The employer is going to get someone who is better suited and happier and less expensive. A lot of what is skillful is about is getting potential employees together much closer much more rapidly. This is extraordinarily innovative. And so we provide financial aid. Whatever pace they can pick them up in order to achieve certain skills and the diploma based curriculum and that is starting to happen more and more. People can pick up at their own pace things there trying to learn and demonstrate, the training in the learning that is provided by that. There are number of committee college is grappling with this, how they went from being seen time to certificate or diploma based. The Graduation Rates are staggeringly low. Low. I will not even shock you with a number. So if they can get people achievement along the way comeau we also are trying to get people who have had some college, they dont have a diploma the way to show that they have skills, they, they had picked up the skills, took statistics, took coding so that they can demonstrate that they have skills that are in demand in the workplace and finally feel proud as well as economically satisfied, feel proud of what they have learned because i think that a critical part of this equation is to have americans believe in themselves again i believe in the country again and to believe that the things that they know are valued skills in the public arena, that is a critical part of what we have to achieve. Nicole chatterley at the Multicultural Media Telecom and talking about women and girls, i am affiliated with Arizona Center for gender equity. My question is actually this. We talk a lot about the knowledge economy. How do you reconcile implicit and explicit by an that exists in institutions and from employers, particularly from people of color and more vulnerable populations, the knowledge economy does not look like those folks, so how do we begin to think about the conversation of disparity and push it past the skill building phase and more towards shifting institutional paradigm so that they are accepting of people. You know, at the end of Malcolm Gladwells book there is a wonderful anecdote that describes 1982 almost every trombone tuba player was a man because women didnt have the lung capacity or strength and in this woman went and did a blind audition is the son of the 1st violinist at the berlin symphony. Anyway, go home, youre it. She came out in everyone freaked out and there were lawsuits. But the wonderful image of what happened and now every symphony has blind auditions now its almost 5050. I think that blind auditions should be everywhere. Offered a right. If they dont want to be seen by the jury, tattoos all over themselves or whatever reason, they should have that choice. And certainly when your applying for jobs it makes perfect sense. And technology helps, too, i think. Yes, maam. Way over there. I am actually retire from government. My question is how we create a new safer force to go against problems like infrastructure so that in the digital age it seems to me that technology could help us figure out ways to get infrastructure that matches advances in the digital world. I have heard much about how we push these companies to actually find that knew thing that brings in a lot of people to take on some of our problems we have right now. I think it is coming. Your car will talk to the road soon. Talk to other cars. The infrastructure we build in the future will be smart in a way that we never imagined. I am not sure this is quite encompass to your question, but no bigger believer and infrastructure in the room than me. We build more a long time. I am a true believer that this is a major issue for the country, build a new infrastructure, but we ought not to overestimate the degree of employment that comes with it. Only so many people. I skill job, charge of a bulldozer. A greater. This is not, you know, 1930s, some people have this imaginary view that it will put joins a people to work. No. The secondorder effect. Businesses locate to take advantage of it. And so i think you will see and are seeing important new investments, but the last point, if you want to talk about a place for Public Policy gets in the way of progress and is easy to talk about billing infrastructure, go try to do it sometime and spend eight years and Environmental Impact statements or check and see if someone could find an arrowhead. Everyone is concerned about the infrastructure price, how ridiculously difficult we make it for no compelling societal reason. We talked earlier making trade schools and community colleges, talk about infrastructure spending, as a governor how do you calculate return on investment whether it is creating Free Community college or a new water system, internet system so that you know whether it is costing are benefiting society . You do your best. Every investment is a leap of faith. When youre building bridges or broadband or pipelines comeau whatever call for the longterm you have to imagine things that are not here yet. The value of infrastructure, and i have seen this, what comes along after. You cannot always predict that. When they built to connect university computers. Absolutely. We got rid of what was a political patronage system for deciding which roads and bridges to build, swept that away and had a blinded system algorithms based on what we believed were safety, convenience, and economic advantages, but you have to be modest enough to know and you could be wrong. You can try and should try to proceed based upon some sort of logic knowing that some will work out better and some you will put theyre and where is everybody. The gentleman here. Thank you. Thank you both for being here today. You have done great work with us in the past. You mentioned earlier how the k12 system is one of the most important to address the problems that face our nation. The opportunities to integrate Work Based Learning are apprenticeships to better link the education system. A great question and like Everything Else ii do not pretend to have an answer. Probably the most reckless of all the things were trying to do comeau we will start a high school of our own and it will look a lot like it is a mirror image of this account. Now, i will confess to you that seeing if we can contribute something to a High School Education that does exactly what john was talking about, Gift Certificates or badges comeau we imagine a number of these graduates was bring from high school the work. But the number one objective honestly, to go back to Something Else we talked about before, the pool of firstgeneration and minority students who are even remotely likely to succeed at our university in our state is heartbreakingly small, and i am tired of waiting. So this high school, if we can make it work, if we can make it work the one rule i have established is in every diploma it can be a direct admission to purdue university. We cant wait anymore. Every year at this time i check. The total number of africanamerican graduates in the state of indiana at the purdue medium, and we are landgrant school. We have high standards. We were put there to bring the doors to Higher Education open beyond the elite and in every year i have been there has been a low three digit number. That is the whole universe. Anduniverse. And i can tell you how many of those are young men. And so were going to try to jump into the deep end of the pool. Yes, i think we can contribute something or learned some things that will speed young people to remunerative employment, but it is also aimed at trying to have a University Community that includes people of low income and firstgeneration. Im sorry. A couple of the hands. Thank you and good afternoon. You know, we have heard conversation about the lack of wages of the wage growth issue. Talk a little bit about the issue of student debt. Also her little bit about folks who are 40, 50, and above. The economy working his way forward, this idea of the data and mining royalty, when we are data mind a personal data is mind, author be a royalty assessed . The funds contribute to Something Like the alaska President Fund so that each year individuals targeted, the check is cut to those particular folks based upon the amount of data mind. It is such an interesting question. I was recently with some leading mit researchers in the bunch of people from Silicon Valley talking about what the Research Agenda should be, and i put on the table, take a hard question. Forget all the stuff that people suggest to you, how many people are going to work in the giga economy, take a hard question, your question, how do you evaluate whether or not people should benefit from the value of what they provide into an internet system relative to what they get from all of the free goods, the fact that they can use all of these services for free, and those are the kinds of questions for this economy that i hope institutions will take a look at because we dont have a clue. We do not know how to measure the economy we are in either. Gdp is not really the best measurement for the economy we are in now. So there is really right field for new understandings that can lead to new policy decisions and business decisions. And i will let both the governors have a quick respite. Sure. Thank you very much. I do want to point out. A new wife. A new wife. I am a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton. President daniels, dont get yelled that when i get home. I think this is one of the key issues that this country faces, how to more rapidly connect kids with skills, not just the knowledge with the skills that they will need to succeed in life. Skillful. Apprenticeship will be a huge part of it. High schools, what president daniels refers to is another part of this. My son is in the Public School for longer school day, longer school year. Loves it. We have experiments like that all over the country. I think this may be where institutions of Higher Learning get to be at the ground floor and then against the more rapidly. Mr. President. [laughter] well, a provocative question. The subject of one of your upcoming. One thing that strikes me, young people in particular but all americans seem very complacent about giving up this data. 0. 10 every time, thats fine. Probably ought to be a matter of free choice but we ought to make sure it is an informed choice. Know exactly what the implications are on a lesson by look through. One of the many new elements in this new economy. I 1st want to thank so we. Since you have taken over you have been at the forefront of every interesting and important issue. I thank you very much for it. Those of us who work here, we look upon arthur is our moral compass, especially with your new book. Thanks for all you have done. I know you will join me in thanking our guests. More conversations on this incredibly diverse topic. [laughter] we will have an ongoing conversation. What it means which is really the entire discussion. Half of all of us.
