faculty is now getting into the act. there was an op-ed today in "the new york times", i've got a quote i want to read. "there are also 6,000 full-time teachers and researchers working here and none of us have had anything to do with this mess. we are every bit as disgusted and horrified as you are. this is our place that has been trashed, and we care deeply about cleaning it up." that was michael berube, a professor there that holds the joe paterno chair in the humanities there. lots of different sides to this story on campus, obviously. >> i actually have read michael berube's blog. i didn't know the academic chairs were named for paterno. that's actually a perfect example of the influence of the athletic the department on the rest of the school. everyone has said, and including reports on this channel, that there's way too much money from the academic divisions that are, of course, dependent on the athletic divisions. so it is understandable that there is this sort of permeation throughout the campus, and this is an institutional problem.

society where higher income and lower income families don't have much contact with each other, don't know each other, and so that sort of erodes public trust. i think it also has the potential to lead to kind of very divisive politics because if you're a representative representing a middle-class, mixed income area, you want to represent the interests of all income groups. but if you're representing a wealthy or a poor area you're going to represent the interests only of those groups. and so the more segregated people are in society the more our politics are going to be divisive as a result, i think. >> the right-wing think tank, the heritage foundation, recently posted a piece on its blog arguing "economic inequality is not necessarily an injustice but rather a necessary component of any prosperous society." what's your reaction to that statement? >> well, there's probably a level of income inequality that is valuable for sort of producing healthy competition and giving people a feeling that they can get ahead and kind of achieve the american dream. but when income inequality gets
