I did what is it what is that really entail well I took the opportunity

00:02:15

eternity to try and visit every single academic unit and almost all of our

olive Rd mistreated Unit II also was able to visit alumni groups in Chicago

how go and New York and also on the west coast to really learn more about

are about why people wanted to be at Illinois what they got out

out of their experience here I’m what made them loyal dead

dedicated energetic um I people who

wengage with University in various ways it was a great way to learn more about the University of Illinois

00:02:50

annoyatron champagne you know I got the magic in if you could go to any college campuses

Cincy some of the same social things coming from people what is there anything in particular

truck ya what what you got to talking to people in Illinois I think that sings

things that was most memorable about that listen learning to roar was the one

universally common thing that came up was it people said

dead people were on campus still said they were here because of the people

that it was the generosity the collaborative

00:03:25

is culture the willingness to ask each other questions and help

help each other that made them stay here um it was it was really hurt

heartwarming now it from there you went to the the visiting the future

future excellence and I’ve been trying to figure out the white noun for this promises

YouTube what you want what we call it an initiative because we want

we wanted to convey the feeling that this was a intense

exercise that probably wouldn’t be um for a certain period of time

00:04:00

what time it was a a follow up to listening in learning tour

RN allowed me to meet with small groups of people on campus and off

end of off campus to ask a question to questions actually so

first was what are societies greatest challenges going to be in the neck

the next 20 to 50 years and a second question was what is the role

roll over preeminent public research university with a land grant mission

Global Impact what is the role of that kind of an institution in

00:04:35

meeting the challenges essentially this Campus ear yes yes

and the weather report came out of that in July is at the end of vision in future

is it done now or is it more yeah I know it is I would consider pretty much

pretty much done what we did from that is up collate all of the data

data and realize that from that arose six different scenes

we should really concentrate on um and it was the foundation

Asian for what we called the Big vision and that lead into the street

00:05:10

strategic plan ok and the strategic plan really that something

something that’s done. University white from time to time I gather the last one was in 2000

2006 right and then one just came out supplements well so much

the each of the campuses were asked to write your teacher plan and so this

the strategic plan that your familiar with is the one for our campus

that covers our goals are vision our hopes our plans for the next 3

3 years and the URIs campus and the USC campus have also create

00:05:45

created there on your plans and now there is a person in the

the president’s office who is putting together these 3 finding the common elements and make

making that the overall University strategic plan so that’s going on right now

right right out of that will come I guess the master strategic plan

plan and hopefully there are some common threads writing process right there

I think there will be some distinctive threads of which where one campus will be able to take

how to take the lead and other ones with your income in which we should Clarion creates Energies

00:06:20

when I was looking at the Havana campus is a strategic plans and some of its goals

one of the ones that came out to me and I heard about this before

4 what is the idea of hiring 500 faculty over the next five to seven

7 years right and I was looking that remembering that the

University actually I did early retirement buyout since 2010 win

more than 480 employees don’t know how many of faculty but nice Zito porn

took part in the chorus in 2012 something that the university had anything

00:06:55

any say about but a lot of people decided to retire that you’re because they thought

what a cork in the pension formula said that’s the best year to be tired so you lost

lost a lot of people right here we did lose a lot of people over the last

I would say 5 years the combination of the recession and petechiae

what a killer but it really constraints and then also as you mention the pension shoes that

is that that a worried some of our faculty last year so when we say 500 new facts

new faculty some of them are going to be replacements of faculty who left their art

00:07:30

are two ways that were recruiting new faculty one is to replace

who plays faculty were the student demand is particularly intents and where we don’t

we don’t have enough faculty to be able to cover the student needs and the other one

other one is to take advantage of are strategic plan and do cluster hiring around

round some of the scenes that arose from observations

future excellent exercise or concentrating on energy and the environment on health

health and wellness and um cultural diversity culturally quotes

00:08:05

social equality and cultural understanding and doing

cluster hires around those three themes this year

because we believe that if we can recruit 3 to 5 people who can collaborate

Easley that we will be able to do Nov 8 of learning

innovative teaching and also be able to be very competitive for some of the research grant

can you so we believe will be coming up and that way be able

able to make the University of Illinois more prominent more visible

00:08:40

visible more impactful more respected in a relatively short period of time

can you give any specific examples of where these areas in the university

versity might be what you would do the soda Farmington wear funding opportunities through Grande

grants may I may appear right so as I said were or concentrating on end

what energy in the environment we believe that um areas

areas of funding for energy are going to be increasing because that’s such an important

important issue nationally and health and wellness out will allow us to be a

00:09:15

be able to apply for grants particularly within the NIH research

also other private foundations and a corporate opportunity

Kennedy’s is well okay so good looking private foundations corporate

opportunities it sounds like one thing but not looking at in million long term trends for the state

state of Illinois  big bundles of money coming our way

well if you know where they are I hope you let me know because I’d love to take advantage of them I think that

think that we realize the state of Illinois in um considerable

00:09:50

budgetary a constraint has considerable budgetary restraints

we will continue to make a pitch for the fact that higher education

occasion is critically important and in that mixes University of Illinois

is critically important but we also are making plans to look for a revenue

revenue sources through philanthropy through a grants and contracts

racks so that we can make up for any losses

los is that my continue to come from the same does that mean increased role for

00:10:25

a body like the foundation yes we are one

are working with you I found a shin very closely we just recruited a new vice chancellor for

surfer institutional advancement who is our campus lead person that person’s name is Dan Peterson

listen and Dan is work very hard already in development his own plan

plan of attack in terms of ways to develop relationships

chips with people were interested in investing in our campus um Bozar loans and

and we’ll be on Jetstar alumni base what talking with the Chancellor Phillips

00:11:00

Phyllis why is the University of Illinois Urbana campus on focus I’m Jim meadows in

and if you have questions for Chancellor why is our phone number is 1 800 2229

29455 you can email your questions to WY el dash time

talk at illinois.edu what we were talking about

dumb state funding which I think really long term trend

and um  even before the recent financial troubles was at State funny

universities is not getting any bigger and maybe going down in terms of the total

00:11:35

Obama spent right I mean I mean if you look at the last 20 years across

across the United States all states have been withdrawing their funding of there

public higher education institutions um its been a pretty

pretty constant declined sometimes a little bit more quickly and sometimes a little

a little bit less quickly um but the state has the states have not been able

OpenTable to fund their state institutions the way they used to sew

I don’t think it takes a genius to realize that we better be planning

00:12:10

for some more of the same and if it doesn’t happen with glee

gladly accept as graciously as we possibly can any

additional funding from the stage at the same time tuition for students at the U of I

why has gone up early to Asian for students at all state universities in Illinois

has gone up since Stancil in the last few years the figures I see for upper division

give it up upper division tuition rates at this campus is a 28 percent run

rise from FYE 2008 to f1 2012

00:12:45

but there are other campuses with with bigger increases

I guess we’re still in total one of the more expensive campuses around the state

the state has the flagship university with you it was so to expect that but that

but that’s that can be a real burden for students at the time when the role of State

University is to provide educational opportunity that’s a private schools

what not to be able to do what’s going to happen to that

in the next few years what are the goals in terms of A tuition

00:13:20

wishin rates and affordability so you bring up of really critical topic

bike and that is that we realize that we have raised tuition fairly certain

search of Leo over the last 5 to 10 years and we cannot afford to do that any longer

longer because we realize that if we do that we will have a large number of students

just will not be able to afford to come to the University of Illinois the kinds of Israel

really really like to have your highly qualified wonderful citizens of the state

the state of Illinois so um we last your only raise tuition

00:13:55

is tuition by 1.75 I believe percent is a mounted to less than 100

$100 per semester this year we are also considering if anything a ver

very modest increase intuition because we realize the increase burn on students at the

at the same time we have been doing is putting much more money of our own

are on into financial aid and we have reached Dumbledore effort

turn the phone plan to be to go to donors who would like to find scholarships so that the

that the students now who are coming to you in the University of Illinois have the same kind of

00:14:30

experiences that they had when they were students here 20 30 40 years

years ago um I have to say we want to make sure that we

what we provide access to excellence and not just access that we believe that we

what we must continue to be the best kind of educational experiences a student

students can have and so is the dual wave

I’m trying to put more money into financial aid that is putting more central money into it

as well as getting more scholarship funds from donors is a two pronged approach

00:15:05

approach that we are using um and I believe that we put in

another 20 million dollars into financial aid Justin the last couple of years of our own

and also have been successful in getting some scholarship money

including the part of the Granger Soundation gift to college engineering

is dedicated to scholarship how far do you think those efforts go

in the essential Erie open the door to students who have

no been with lost the opportunity to cry because of the tuition Rises

00:15:40

well we certainly hope to be able to meet the needs of more students I mean when we

when we accept a student that students does not accept us and goes

go somewhere else and we asked him why they’re not coming the first reason they give us

buses money that someone else some other institutions offer them more

more scholarship money that we have been able to and we don’t want to lose so since we accept

September because we believe that they are highly qualified and also because we believe

they would benefit from being here at the University of Illinois at urbana-champaign so

00:16:15

does a student want to come and we want to make sure that its affordable for him

do you ever see a time if things go well in other funny areas that tuition

what should levels can go down  you know to be honest with you

with you I don’t see a time when tuition levels will go down I hope

hope that they will level of more and that rises will be modest but I can tell you that

are you that the needs a student is increasing all the time the kind of Education

send it to expect a day is different than the kind of education students expected

00:16:50

naked 2034 years ago the global experience is a 10

they want to have the research experience if they want to have service learning

experiential learning the kind of counseling that there counting on advice

advising career planning all of these are what we will call out of the classroom experience

princes that students now Expect and we want to provide that

does all cost money in addition to obviously keeping our classrooms

technologically at the level where they can use the most current

00:17:25

current ways of learning so they’re all sorts of aspects of learning that that

that are students we want to offer sons and they actually expect I get

I get I guess this question of just dealing with of the expenses of college

expenses of attending college DuckTales into a golden Desert Ridge plan of Amer

more inclusive and diverse student body but also a more inclusive

diverse faculty and staff are you working you trying to find retail Schools

on both ends IIIC us a mansion as far as students

00:18:00

students of Concerned of increased need based scholarship funds to ensure that the

the University of financially accessible to all qualified student and I guess it’s summer

Zumba for Wii talking about in the last few minutes right thumb I think you referring to the

the importance of diversity whether or not you’re talking about racial ethnic religious

images of economic geographical um sexual

orientation all aspects of diversity I think ur part of the definition of excellence

excellence and so we are working very hard to make

00:18:35

rcampus diverse bows in terms of the faculty and staff

Staffing Agency both of y’all 3 staff and students

and our putting extraordinary efforts to making sure that

not only are we attracted to them but that we have a kind of campus

climate that is inclusive that um really welcomes

diverse races at any conversation because I’m a true believer that

that if you have to vs diversity voices around the table of any discussion

00:19:10

710 any decision that is made will have incorporated the thoughts of different people

people and is likely to be applicable to more people than if you just talked with

one kind of person looking at the vision

visiting future excellence initiative and the looking for areas of

of study in research that make a significant invisible silent

impact making those decisions of what you going to do over the next several decades

kids does it also in sale ideas making decisions about what you’re not going to do

00:19:45

going to do yes and I can I know I can think of 100 men name is my phone

my fault I can think of something that the universe is a side that it’s not going to continue

the Institute of aviation Anderson the Parkland College in Champaign is this love

how to take that over that would be I guess one example b*** how do you make the decisions

will decisions about what you are not going to do any longer are probably more

more challenging the decisions at what you do want to do when I think they have to go hand in hand

hand we have to realize that what we have done for the last almost

00:20:20

almost hundred fifty years is not justification for doing it for the next hundred fifty

50 years that if you are going to adopt new edition is and

and new programs that we have to take a very careful look at the programs

what we are doing now to make absolutely sure that they are still central to the mission and

and your example of the Institute of aviation is an excellent one it was a great program

reprogram but it um was quite expensive and was serving ver

very few students and we found a way that it could continue

00:20:55

Underoath Greenman that Parkland College would take over the majority of

city of the responsibility for it and was that was that decision

really done because of a mean in art on least partly because

because of financial considerations only have so much fun to work with some things

have to go that are considered less valuable than others so you’re right

right before I got here at the US the campus went through

through its called stewarding excellence and it was a very careful of valuation

00:21:30

Shin of all aspects of campus activity and the decisions

visions to consolidate or even eliminate some

programs was based upon weather was central to the mission of the universe

University still today whether it was affordable

and whether it was important to the future of the mission of university and I think that

exit that end with many many different committees in Incredible effort on the part of

heart of then in a chance for Easter an intern Provost wheeler and Men

00:22:05

how many different faculty and staff committees in which students were also involved believe

was a very very carefully thought through and deliberate after

effort to make sure that everything that we were doing was absolutely essential

the future of the university okay have those decisions and mostly

mostly made for a while do you think are at this stage the game order still

do you still see cutbacks in elimination semi have to be done

what most of the things have been done um we were able to find

00:22:40

find ways of saving roughly 17 million dollars recurring dollars

um but we will I think what we realizes that we shouldn’t do this once every 24

20 to 50 years we should have an ongoing evaluation of all of our program

are programs and provost edition is working on ways to have

Evaluation assessment of all of our department in programs at

at an interval roughly every 8 years um to make sure

sure that changes Ezer expansion or consolidation

00:23:15

should be considered now is that separate from the deli

The Daily Illini a while back of the recently about a new process

process of evaluating academic units that would go to having some doubts

outside body so a yes

yes that is a what the daily a line I was talking about what we are

what we’re doing is the unit that is going to be evaluated or cyst

does a self study first and present it to a small group of

00:23:50

of external um people who come to our preeminent People Inc

Blinn great departments are great program who come and read the Sofia the first

first read self assessment and then come and actually visit with Department

and Beyond apartments Jamaican valuation and a recommendation to us

ok if its under Wayne hours is still being what is underway no images

is being pilot this year Jay the song you know this on the last few minutes I was thinking about

about this as I got an email in someone asking I guess he was the

00:24:25

the Raiders looking for specific as to what cut backs of any can you point to is being

responsive as with rider calls states tire for a physical condition

you know a right now were in the process of making those kinds of decisions

um and I think it’s really important for us to use the shared governance

governance process that is to go through several different steps of looking

um first at the programs in self then consulting with the Faculty Senate the act

the Academic Senate in terms of whether or not they agree and then

00:25:00

it is a far as you mentioned earlier it is hard to make chain

changes that would consolidator eliminate programs probably harder than starting Hammond

so there’s a long stopwatch process that I actually think is underway in MI

and I don’t think it appropriate for me to talk about anything but you

what to expect from decisions made what we’re going to take a short break

break now this is locust WI talking with Chancellor of the U of I Urbana campus

Phyllis wisin will be back in just a moment

00:25:35

this is focus we’re back on W while im Jim Meadows my guest is Phyllis WI

is wise Chancellor of the campus of the University of Illinois

open talking about the visiting future excellence initiative a man will be talking about other pieces

pieces of University business if you have a question for the Chancellor phone number is 1 800

800 222 94551 802 to 2945

4554 222 wyll the email

email addresses WY el dash talking illinois.edu and you can

00:26:10

send your questions to ask on Twitter or Facebook at focus

580 um I was wondering about that

project the universities for going on has has going on with

with the People’s Republic of China both projects in China Ann doll

and also projects at a Chinese institutions are doing here

100 status at the U of I should be opening up an office in Chennai

Shanghai I think next month yes um that’s right we are going to be open

00:26:45

opening up an office in Shanghai I will actually be able to be there too

do I do that officially it’s one of our ways of being able to beat

to be present are there in a bigger way then just occasional visit

visits think it’s really important because they’re opportunities arise dead

we may not know about if we don’t have that kind of present ok 0

there already a lot of collaboration simulation ships going on with how many

but yeah I’m not sure I know how many universities and also corporations in China

00:27:20

China yes I so we have a long history of clarity

Asian with China um right after the Boxer Rebellion we were one

one of the universities accept a large number of Chinese students um

in the last century we have an increasing number of collaboration

operations educational ones back and forth with universities as well as

well as public private partnerships with corporations in China and

and I’m really proud of the fact that were one of the preeminent universities work

00:27:55

working with Chinese universities in Chinese corporation how does is benefit

the University in the student body at the University bank will you probably know

holy know that we have one of the highest number of Chinese students of any university in the United

in the United States and we want to be sure that we are really ready to welcome

welcome them um we want to be sure that they are prepared for their ex

experience here Illinois so part of the reason for having an office there

there is to be able to be a vailable to answer any questions for students

00:28:30

thinking about coming or who have accepted our offer to come

and we’re preparing to come um it is really important that

that students to come from that far away are really ready for their learning experience

Sperry insole have here I know that brings up a question from time to time

about the high and low high is relative trumpet certainly increasing level

levels of international students at the University of Illinois um

increases the diversity of the student body they pay more then I

00:29:05

in state students which certainly can’t hurt of the university

I’m wondering what is it mean for the rest of the student body at the U of I

why is this a zero sum game where are the slots for students are Barbie

are being taken away because our slots for international students are use a room for every

everybody so what we hope to always be able to

acceptance many of the highly qualified students as we possibly can and we realize we

lies we are the University of Illinois at urbana-champaign our first responsibility

00:29:40

is service citizens of Illinois Wii accepted all larger now

number of Illinois residents this year than before and we have

we have maintain the number of Illinois residents as we have in the last 2 years in the

in this year’s incoming class it arrive in the fall we have had

increasing demand for a slot by are international students

students and um because we are a very highly respected

University in China and India and Western Europe and sew

00:30:15

so we find out the application for international students are increasing and then

and they are also very qualified applicants um this last year WI

accepted a certain number of international students and weak all the time

take rate that is the number of students are accepted us out stripped rxpect

expectation so we have a few more international students use your than we expected

we welcome damn with open arms and were hoping to provide them with great

what education is but what I would you ask also is a critically important element that is what

00:30:50

what is in it for students who are from Illinois in from other states in India

United States and in some ways I think the students who are

mystic students attend the University of Illinois residents get a global experience

experience even just staying on campus I don’t think that replaces going abroad for

for a period of time to study what is a great introduction and what

what I’m really hoping is that the exchanges between the international students anarchy

domestic students get to be even better and I know are a division of

00:31:25

Student Affairs is trying to find ways bows

does having learning communities in the dorms having events on campus

throughout Europe politically in the fall when students first arrived that make sure

sure that the mixing is done so that its not just a numbers game it really is inclusive

who really is making sure that they bump into each other and really get

get to know each other and get to be friends by the times they graduate

challenges in Toledo trying to social engineer the student body so that

00:32:00

people meet up in fruit for weight with each other yeah I mean you know it is a very

very large campus pose in terms of numbers of students as well as the area of a campus

Campus um uh takes up and want use decide to major

Meijer in English or psychology or you know if the Arts or

Engineering you tend to stick with the students who are majoring in the same discipline

what we really want to make sure that within that discipline you mix with its made different

front kind of student with his many different life experiences as you possibly can

00:32:35

what also that if you’re an engineering major that you don’t always stay just with engineering majors

majors and so we try and schedule a different number than swear

we totally mix it up can you give me an example of of events

events that gold mine yeah so one of them is actually are quad day

in the very early fall where student groups have displays and others

can come in just get to know that if you’re interested in this area or that area you can

are you can um come and join this club or that club and you don’t

00:33:10

you don’t have to live with in your same dorm they don’t have to be in your say major but you haven’t

having a certain interest on that you would like to learn more about

I know WILL so has a usually has a table out of yes I have I walked through there

are there it’s like the entire student body its amazing is it it’s it 68 st

its it’s extremely busy yeah so that doesn’t like an opportunity for for people to meet each other

what not otherwise something else in connection with his logic

Watertown pick up is there’s going to be a Confucius Institute established within

00:33:45

within the College of Education here there’s a signing ceremony set for icing

tomorrow yes a lot of campuses have these but maybe you could talk a little bit about what it means

need to be hosting to write a concert the Confucius Institute

Art Institute sponsored by a hundred ninty

in China is is is an institution that helps culturally

exchanges between China and various Institute in different countries particular

take a leave the United States their goal is to make sure that we understand

00:34:20

first and the culture of China our goal is to make sure that the

the culture of China is incorporated into the

the mission of our University and the of confusion student is going to be

going to be established here at the University of Illinois is being sponsored by the College of

education so it’s usually 1 University in Troy

in China with another university in the United States but it doesn’t

necessarily have to be limited to that okay in all of these Peralta

00:34:55

all these projects working with China um have there been agreements

made to go she ate it always do something at the university is mine for love

5121 sure know whatever may happen the academic freedom integrity

review of iPhone so both um we absolutely

Louis want to make sure that the integrity of of our students are faculties maintain

maintained in any agreement that we make whether or not it’s with a foreign country or

or even know you with another with another university so

00:35:30

you ass is this is a fairly free flowing in spontaneous I think that any

anytime that we have a long term engagement

rent with another university or another group we write what is called

call the Memorandum of Understanding so that both parties are sure of

what we have agreed to and Ken look back at that mo you if

if any thing comes up that we didn’t expect yeah I’m thinking that

that as we’ve been talking in various topic year Which Wich touch on

00:36:05

on the seeking of a diverse University UFO

if I were king in DC area touches on your own experience in academia and then also as

also as administrator in your as a woman as Asian American must be experienced

experiences of your background yes I mean I think

think im as a woman and as an Asian American

a diversity has been part of my blood part of my DNA

um I think I appreciate it all the opportunities I’ve had thru

00:36:40

rule out my life starting from when I was very young being the only Chinese family in

family in the community that I grew up in New Jersey all the way through my professional career

career where I was one of the only one or two women in my department

when I first started my faculty position I was one of very few chairs

tears of physiology umm when I became a chair physiology

even as a Chancellor here when I was the enterprise

president of University of Washington I was the first Asian American woman to ever lead a public

00:37:15

public research university so being a minority has been part

part of almost every step in my personal and professional life and I think I really appreciate

38 the opportunities I was given by being accepted and welcomed

in the different communities in which I’ve been engaged I want to make sure

what does kind of opportunities are made for other people do you see when you look at

academia in the universities in general in the US progress P

is being made rose being made the serious yes I 5 really do you think that progresses

00:37:50

is being made um I think we are not there yet um

but I think the progress has been made and if we keep on working hard to get even better

better this is focus in WY alone with talking with Chancellor Phyllis wise

00:39:00

that’s a female to the campus status and that’s about on how the U of I

viagra behna become a smoke free campus on January 1st

and the this is going to be everyone everywhere smoking

everything as as it says as you write the Ribault club

include all for form to bring tobacco including cigarettes cigars pipes

hookahs cigarillos and I already brings up a question to me

e-cigarettes what is the status of e-cigarettes um under the

00:39:35

under the eyes of the smoke free campus policy if I’ve been determined so I

I need to get a little bit more information on that as far as I understand

this is not involved

what were having some to go see a campus spokesman right Robin Kelly

coming into have to ship something light on this particular topic Robin hello how are you

fine I’m sorry for not quite granular level for the cancer but we have determined

will not be allowed to soak a sono e-cigarettes as well correct

00:40:10

correct time and is is is there a rational or irrational

what is an argument yeah um I mean they there there’s a information

Asian data that shows they may be addictive is well that sort of thing

is kind of a separate them out just creep of confusion someone sees

nc someone with your for the real cigarette what is the pros and

cons and um because really out with the pros okay Robin Kelly

Robin Chancellor wise

00:40:45

you know this brings up questions I’m sure people are asking this is really a campus wideband which means that

includes all housing on campus by the Ritz freshman dorms are there

family housing like over Georgia Downs that true and it also include

klutz say sporting events which bringing large crowds from from out of town

town of the university so like at the tailgate parties around the football game involves all

all campus facilities dumb and so it would include any time

any tailgating on our campus ilities don’t care if you decided to do this

00:41:20

do this now imagine you’re thinking it must be visible and that for Hampstead 22

do just changed over the years of smoking will for sure attitudes have

have changed over the last couple of decades with regards to smoking

I think people appreciate today muchmore the health hazards

words of smoking and of secondary smoke we are not the first

big Research Campus or big campus to institute s policy I think

think it is in the best interest of all their students are faculty and staff and resistors

00:41:55

Mrs and so we study this for a long time um and

and are very very the adamant in the fact that we

will be a smoke free campus starting next year and part of foot

what you wrote in the email to this morning was about love

about efforts to promote a tobacco cessation programs route to campus

both through are the various health services on campus

what also your be selling nicotine replacement products Atlanta Union

00:42:30

State Farm center what’s the saying for the speak well we are we are still

we are still working on all of these details I have to say what we are trying to do is make a disease

easy as possible for people to be able to make behavior changes that will be

what will prevent them from needing to smoke any longer okay is there

is there has been worked out how this will be enforced

Forestwood violations occur and and then whats the penalties will be involved with

what is there for students employees are visitors to campus right so we are off

00:43:05

which had several committees working on on this aspect of a pencil realize that if we have the power

apology and then there’s no enforcement of the policy it really is pretty empty

it during initial period of time right after the implementation of the policy

we will be heading out warnings and after that we will be free

the figuring out what stronger means we will need to do to enforce its power

the policy what were hoping I actually is the signs will be preventative

when it is and that the people realize that were serious about this and so it so

00:43:40

its always nice or not to have to bring out your sticks until you’ve used

lot of carrots and the carrots are biting prevention programs

providing notice providing reminders that this is a smoke free

free campus as far as penalties somebody still being hammered out in the next

Rite couple of months before takes effect right so we make your more specific about

about this and later in December okay I wanted to ask you this is it

this is a question related to achieve a line away there was news last month of a trademark

00:44:15

mark settlement of the University which was the owner of the Chiefs Society which is a group of

what was that supports the Bible of Chiefland away can you tell me anything about what is

what does dispute was about and how it was settled well I think it it really a

is surrounds the fact that some the trademark application

that that the society have filed to use the trademark and we have

have settled with him that the trademark is ours and they will not be able to use it

icing to settlement really clarifies things that might not have been cleared

00:44:50

clear before that smoking this um I get the on the cheap

the Chiefs ideas still is is is is still wanting to revive

live naked still of course do that but but they do not have

not have access to the chief trademark that is true um we

we are not on door saying or allowing any university sponsored

concert event to include the chief OK and then also racist

race is the questions about the holding of events which um

00:45:25

include um not the official symbol of nothing nothing nothing

not any official Teavana with a former because there are none now but I perform

performer sponsored by other organizations with ACS bean new Jeep

Chiefs Solana Way I’m not sure I quite understand your question

how many under under the under the trademark consideration

another people put on the constituion perform um

as to whether or not they can hold on to that name is being a guy

00:46:00

simple green well I believe that there is an issue of freedom of speech

which which we certainly are not going to violate but it is not

is not going to be any official Chief Illiniwek OK and then it support

important for the university that that that made clear that yes K

how to report a few months ago that you have to travel to Oklahoma to meet with leaders of the PR

Peoria tribe in the IRR the last surviving tribal the old Illini Illinois

Illinois Confederation what do you discuss you know a yes I did

00:46:35

did travel down and meet with you from in and a second Cheese

Dollarhide and I took a few of my college down with me

how to talk about ways that we can promote a respectful

call a relationship with them to be able to welcome or students

from the Peoria tribe to the University of Illinois at urbana-champaign to provide

Vita kind of education that Native Americans how would Value Inn

nad benefit from and then more recently we invited Chief Roman and

00:47:10

and his colleagues as well as the chief from the Miami tribe

tribe to come here there actually headquartered in the same county that’s right that’s right

right there Jason to each other and the Miami tribe has had a very very good relationship

relationship with Miami University in Oxford Ohio and so we can learn from them

and we set out of playing with just a given him um address

I draft of animal you in terms of what we will be doing in the future with them and

I’m very excited about that the surfing so you would do in the future what what what

00:47:45

what might involve how we can raise more money for scholarships how we can

can possibly be doing research in sustainability they have a great program on

Amon being able to to make sure that

rarefied species of fish aren’t lost and we are doing some more kinds of research

search um with them also there is work being done on

H&M and learning from the EMAs well this is interesting to see now because I know

I know that doing the time when off when did Chief Illiniwek was the office

the official symbol of the university and the controversy was in full flower there seems to be

BIA definite moments talking to each other policy between the tribe in the

the university university felt as long as the conflict what’s going on their hands

hands are tied I didn’t know about that she wasn’t for your time it was

00:48:55

um all I know is that you know since the Peoria tribe

we are on your travel and that we it’s really important as part of

is part of diversity as part of cultural understanding as part of respect

fact for the traditions I think it’s really important that we developer

fallen in being equally open as I am to the development of the

things that relationship okay um you know we only have about a minute left on
