Hosts: Leah Murray and Rusty Cannon Will Pres.-elect Trump’s cabinet nominees face an uphill battle to confirmation? President-elect Donald Trump has made several nominations for cabinet positions this week. Some have been more traditional; others have caused quite a stir, even among Republicans. How will Trump’s picks help him fulfill his goals for the country? Inside Sources hosts Rusty Cannon and Leah Murray discuss the potential uphill battle towards confirmation. Discussing why Trump may have chosen Rep. Gaetz to be Attorney General Since announcing the nomination of Representative Matt Gaetz as Attorney General yesterday, Republicans and Democrats have both voiced concerns over Gaetz’s past. Does he even have a chance at being confirmed by the Senate? We share thoughts from political leaders. Analyzing Democratic performances from the election; what will the future hold? In the week since the election, one big question Democrats have been asking is ‘what went wrong?’ Several political insiders have said it came down to Democrats’ handling of the economy, but was there anything else? On Inside Sources, we take a look at several other potential causes of Democrats’ poor performance and what they might do to improve the future. Examining the economic outlook with a Trump presidency One of the biggest pledges Donald Trump made in his campaign was that he would fix the economy. How long would that take? What things should we – as the American people – watch for as we look for a better economy? Senior Economist at Zions Bank Robert Spendlove spends a few moments with us as we ‘read the tea leaves’ on the economic future of the United States. Utah is still counting ballots: Normal or weird? Utah officials are still counting ballots, more than a week after Election Day. This has prompted a lot of concerns on social media, with many people saying this isn’t normal. State Deputy Director of Elections Shelly Jackson joins Inside Sources to address those concerns and rumors. Listen to find out how common it is to be counting ballots weeks following a presidential election. Future of the Depts. of Health and Human Services, Education We begin discussing breaking news: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been nominated to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. What has he discussed doing in that department? We shift gears and talk about the Department of Education as well; what could the next administration do to its structure and policies? Inside Sources digs into it all! Nearly 50% of Generation Z voters say they’ve lied about who they voted for New polling data looks at how many people within each generation lied about who they voted for in the last election. The younger generations – especially Generation Z and Millennial – say they feel forced to lie about their presidential choices due to what they call voter intimidation. We break down additional reasons for lying, as discovered in a new Deseret News article. Dogecoin soars following DOGE announcement Dogecoin’s wealth has soared in recent days following President-elect Trump’s announcement that he’s creating a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Inside Sources finishes up with a fun discussion on how government can influence social media and finances, and vice versa. Much wow. Very demure. Listen to hear about pop culture and politics together.

Gospel Reflection–Fr Chima Ofor–Into the Depts of Faith and Conviction (Fr Chima Ofor says that as Peter boldly declares you are the Christ, the son of the living God, this confession also forms the foundation of our call to social justice. By recognising Jesus as the Christ, we affirm our belief in a God who loves and values each human person. A God who seeks justice and liberation for the oppressed and marginalised. When we embrace the teachings of Jesus, we cannot turn a blind eye to the struggles faced by a fellow human being. We cannot remain silent to the cries of the earth and the cries of the poor. By following Jesus' example, we become agents of change in a world that so desperately needs compassion, healing, and justice.)
Emergency Departments across the country are hitting peak demand, without the resources to cope.. Christchurch ED had a record 412 people through its doors over a 24 hour period last week. An ED Nurse at Christchurch Hospital told Checkpoint the spike is because patients can't see their GPs, or After Hours Emergency care. Minister of Health Ayesha Verrall spoke to Susana Leiátaua.

RNZ can reveal which other hospital radiology departments are at high risk of failing to meet international standards. They are Wellington, the Hutt and Hawke's Bay hospitals. We also now know Nelson and Whanganui are at medium risk. Staff shortages are a critical problem and doctors are speaking out saying it's no wonder given how hard they've found it to come here to work. Phil Pennington reports. [audio_play] Te Whatu Ora - Health NZ says while IANZ accreditation is important, it can be too costly and administratively difficult for small hospitals to apply. It says the departments all have numerous internal levels of insight. IANZ however says it offers secondary, simpler 'recognition' for small hospitals, and that it provides the only independent accreditation option. It says this could play a critical role in assuring a consistent level of radiology service delivery motu-wide and so provide data to Te Whatu Ora on how things are going.

Just a nice long rant podcast about how the State of New Mexico denied my unemployment claim just like countless thousands of people get denied for little to no reason. I was blamed for not contacting them sooner, when the toll-free number disconnects you if all operators are busy. Despite phone records proving inability to get help from them, and a several dozen list of companies I have sought jobs from and applied for, I was denied my right to get benefits. I discuss the feeling, I discuss how so many are going through this, and I discuss my next step in fighting for me, which in turn will allow me to fight for you!

There is a lot of speculation as to what we are "allowed" to do as Thin line wives, all over the nation... we are judged from EVERY damn angle. It's time to come together and find what you find is worth it to help you cope and live this incredibly challenging lifestyle. We live a life that is very cortisol rich--- a killer in our bodies and our minds. Anxiety and depression run rampant in our community of women who walk the line. I'll be damned if someone judges you for wanting to set out and do a 5k, start a local police wives tennis team, partake in bodybuilding, or hell even sell your paparazzi jewelry. DO YOU, i want you ladies to understand it's okay to DO YOU. This is MY STORY- explaining my side of fitness and sport. What got me in to bodybuilding anyways? What were the kind of tensions it caused from being a pretty extreme sport and also something that doesn't quite align with the shift work, the momming, and all of the political and safety risk BS we deal with. It's okay to feel like you are navigating murky waters, because you are...but there are women like you who are treading water together in it and learning how to get through it! The beautiful thing about you, is that finding your "Fox" will help you find what will work, what will exhilarate you, and what will challenge you and change you- for the better. I get questions from aspiring competitors and wives like me on how to do this thing--- and want to rise the ranks in it, and I also get looks and probably talk behind the back about it from people who I thought would want to support me. And I know you will or are experiencing that too. It's my duty to help push you to your greatness from the inside out despite those odds and the resistance. You deserve to be happy, to love your life, and to do what fulfills you even while living a service based life. We don't need to be chained to it just based on people's expectations of what we should or shouldn't be doing. If we can truly find ourselves within it and pursue something without negating our responsibilities and other priorities, then why shouldn't we achieve something that WE want?? There's nothing wrong with that! Stop allowing yourself to feel inferior to this occupation and to others. It's YOU who has to sleep alone, parent alone, think about morbid family planning in the event our loved one dies on the job today. It's you who has to be STRONG. And if you don't feel like you truly are, then who are they to tell you that you can't explore the opportunity to become it. SPORT is an asset to your motivation. Courage and application is what creates freedom in your emotional and physical well being. The average coach is NOT going to get your life when you have to drop everything and tend to your family when your loved one gets new orders, has a sudden field training, when you need to go on Active orders or shift MOS, when you need to shift your schedule around eating self care time kid activities and so much more around the shift rotations of your officer and random quick fills for Overtime needs. Depts are losing officers at a quick rate, it's only getting harder for our loved ones to serve. The morale is dropping and we have to support them. But how can we support them if we can't find a way that keeps us invigorated and resilient as well!? Tell us! What sport do you want to try or have seen yourself day dreaming about? What about it inspires you? WALK THAT LINE & HOLD YOURS! Take the Armor Up Nutrition Course NOW! Start today on your internal and mental wellness as a military & first responder wife, transform from the inside out! https://www.ifoxfitness.com/armorup43052066 Want to apply to Team IFOX or have questions? email us ifoxfitness@gmail.com and head to our website www.teamifox.com Join our FREE FB community and be surrounded by nothing but support and love! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/findyourfoxpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/findyourfoxpodcast/support

From the first Africans of Virginia to Emancipation in 1865, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement to today - Donya and Brian can trace the generation of inherited trauma their ancestors and their ancestral families have endured during the entirety of their existence in the United States. Slave catchers, slave patrols, and what we think of as modern policing have contributed to that inherited and experienced trauma.Ret. P.C. Ralph Godbee, Jr joined the show to talk about the history of policing black and brown bodies in the U.S. from the time of the slave patrols to the modern police of today. Ralph draws upon his 25 years of active service in the Detroit Police Department, as well as his numerous connections with police associations, to discuss how black and brown bodies are policed, the trauma that influences black and brown communities in the U.S. when it comes to police interactions - and we closed the show with thoughts about how the current situation can be improved.We couldn't cover everything that we would have liked to in the hour - so there will be a Part 2 on Saturday, 26 June 2021 at 4pm on https://www.facebook.com/genealogyadventuresusa/videos. Part of the second conversation will center on how diversity training needs to be re-imagined. This means moving away from a failed attempt at creating "colorblindness" to an understanding and appreciation of the cultural differences inherent in the numerous populations and cultures within the U.S. And how a reimagined approach to diversity training would serve modern police departments as well.

In Visible Ink is a Museum of Freedom and Tolerance endeavour that makes visible the invisible. Through sharing and amplifying stories, histories, art, conversations and projects that inspire people to see differently, it aims to make changes towards a more just world. The BLM movement transformed global consciousness in 2020, bringing questions relating to the stories we make visible in our civic and popular culture to the fore as statues and monuments around the world tumbled. In solidarity with the protests, the names of some of the hundreds of Indigenous people who have died in custody were projected on a landmark sculpture in Walyalup (Fremantle) during 2020, bringing into focus place, visibility, history and the resonance of the BLM movement in Western Australia, the state with the largest number of Indigenous deaths in custody. To launch our 2021 In Visible Ink Symposium, we convened conversations around the themes of deconstruction and reconstruction of visual and civic culture. This powerful opening conversation led by Aboriginal women and women of colour, featured a line up of amazing speakers (see bios below): Chaired by Sisonke Msimang Dr Hannah McGlade Professor Suvendrini Perera Professor Anna Arabindan Kesson Shaheen Hughes Join the Museum of Freedom and Tolerance and special guests on a multi-sensory journey as we provoke our audience to question the visibility of dominant civic and cultural landscapes and landmarks, learn how to see differently, and actively seek a fairer and more just approach to systemic racism, discrimination, incarceration and inequality.

In The Flow: Conversations with Pioneers in Pediatric Heart Failure
Dr. Lori West is Professor in the Depts. of Pediatrics, Surgery, Medical Microbiology/Immunology and Laboratory Medicine/Pathology at the University of Alberta and a pioneer in the field of ABO incompatible heart transplantation in infants. In 2001 West reported the first ever series of 10 infants who received ABO-incompatible heart transplantation (ABOi HTx) in the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Simon Urschel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at University of Alberta and the Clinical Director of the Pediatric Cardiac Transplant Program at Stollery Children's Hospital. He has led the recent clinical efforts to focus on exploring the limits and boundaries and long term outcomes in these patients from large patient registries. Transplantation of hearts from ABO-incompatible donors is contraindicated because of the risk of hyperacute rejection mediated by preformed antibodies in the recipient to blood-group antigens of the donor. Let's listen to our two experts as to why this contraindication may not apply to newborn infants and how this field of ABOi heart transplantation has evolved.

As of Jan. 13, the Athens County Ohio Health Department has vaccinated only 438 of its approximately 65,000 population for a frustratingly low .67 percent. Meanwhile, the county remains one of the counties in Ohio that is in greatest danger of COVID-19 spread. Athens County is a rural Appalachian County in Southeast Ohio that also houses a major state university – Ohio University. Athens County is indicative of many rural counties across America. The Spectrum Podcast decided to look deeper into this issue Why is the number of vaccinations so low? The answer is lack of supply of vaccine, according to Dr. James R. Gaskell, Athens City-County Health Commissioner and Medical Director. Each Thursday or Friday, the local Health Department is notified by the Ohio Department of Health of the number of vaccine doses it will receive on the following Monday. The trickle-down of the vaccine from the manufacturers to the federal government, to the states and then to local rural areas is not flowing smoothly. For example, next week, Athens County hopes to get about 200 to 300 more doses of vaccines to start to inoculate people 80 years of age or older. About 600 local people in that age group have requested the shot, but less than half will be able to be inoculated next week. The delays continue and the disease spread grows. Meanwhile, residents of some assisted living facilities and other congregate settings for older Athens County residents (Groups 1-A) have still not received vaccinations to be supplied by CVS and other pharmacies. So, Group 1-A in priority has not been served and now Groups 1-B (ages 65 and over) will need to wait because supplies are not reaching the local areas. Dr. Gaskell emphasizes that every week’s supply of vaccine is put into arms that same week. The slowdown is not in the administration of vaccinations. It is in obtaining the vaccine. We have the facilities and the staff to get the job done if we can get the vaccines, Dr. Gaskell says. Athens County has about 8,000 residents 65 years old and older, according to Dr. Gaskell, and to date, about 1,300 have requested the vaccine. At this point, Dr. Gaskell cannot predict how long it will take to get vaccines in the arms of this group. Meanwhile, COVID-19 case numbers continue to rise, and masking and social distancing are mandatory to protect against spread, Dr. Gaskell says. He suggests that virus precautions will need to be taken until 80 percent of the population has been vaccinated. We are ready if we can get the vaccines, says Dr. Gaskell, even though his staff is already stretched thin with increased case numbers, increased contact tracing and vaccinations. Add to these problems, thousands of Ohio University students return next week to increase the area population and increase congregate living settings. Yet, Dr. Gaskell calls his staff indefatigable and ready to go when doses get to the county. But, for now…they wait.

This Reboot Republic podcast looks at the issue of social and affordable housing and the use of public land for another Public Private Partnership – this time the Oscar Traynor site in North Dublin – and we ask is it a good deal? Dublin City Councillors are set to vote on the transfer of the public land to a private developer on Monday Night. We are joined to this discuss this by John Lyons, Dublin City Councillor for Artane-whitehall, Laoise Neylon, Journalist with the Dublin Inquirer, Cian O Callaghan, TD with the Social Democrats, housing spokesperson and Clare O Connor from the Save the Oscar Traynor Site campaign. The deal involves over 800 units being built – but crucially only 20% are social, 30% "affordable" (and there are big questions over their true affordability), meaning that at least half of the units will be private and sold at market value. The question is asked about the Minister for Housing's response on this, and the Depts realisation that the public mood has changed in favour of public housing. The guests point out that this is an inherently risky approach and poor value for money for the taxpayer - but big profits for the developer. We also discuss the alternative way of doing this of building genuinely affordable homes. The campaign is calling on the public to email or contact the Dublin City Councillors and ask them to vote against the deal.

Epidemiologist Alexia Exarchos sits down with host Dan O'Mahony to share her insights on the Covid 19 pandemic and the politicization of containment.
Christchurch hospital's Clinical Director of Intensive Care is warning no acute care unit for children will put extra pressure on adult intensive care, elective surgery and paediactric staff. As we've been reporting the Canterbury DHB has run out of money to fully staff a children's intensive care unit at the new Hagley block. Dr Seton Henderson says it's 'incredibly disappointing' and 'frustrating'. The DHB issued various statements to RNZ last week implying children's intensive care will carry on just as planned. However, this is not the case. Dr Henderson told Phil Pennington he got the bad news two weeks ago. [audio_play]

The Texas Medical Association informs us that the most dangerous things we can do is attend a religious service. Worldviews matter when it comes to public policy. However, the COVID-19 crisis has introduced some degree of controversy among Christians too. The ability to discern -quarrelsome- matters, which Paul brings up - demon fodder for arguments in the church, is crucial. What is of essence is to continually draw together all the biblical principles that tie in, and simply ask yourself, -Of these principles, where am I weakest--

Per aumentare la tua visibilità così come la tua autorevolezza, credibilità e reputazione online, ci sono altre decine di format interessanti, utili e originali, che non solo forniscono tanto valore ma che sono anche strumenti ideali per differenziarsi dalla concorrenza. Oltre ai dieci e più tipi di “contenuti che spaccano” che ti ho già fatto conoscere nelle nove puntate precedenti, in questo episodio del podcast “da Brand a Friend” te ne suggerisco altri otto.◾Podcast - si, in particolare se hai la capacità di comunicare in maniera chiara e sintetica, senza perderti nei tuoi stessi discorsi, e se sai trasmettere energia ed emozioni attraverso le tue parole. Ha di particolarmente buono, che non richiede grosse competenze tecniche per essere realizzato, le attrezzature necessarie sono a basso costo e può essere prodotto anche interamente con uno smartphone. Non ideale per chi parla un sacco senza saper cristallizzare l'essenza di ciò che vuole dire in poche parole. Ideale per chi ha una forte voce “dentro” che vuole esprimersi e far sentire il suo punto di vista. Consente di far sentire la tua voce. Di raccontare storie che sono l'elemento che più coinvolge le persone. Ha il grandissimo vantaggio di poter far “immaginare” le persone, rendendolo molto più potente da questo punto di vista del video. L'ascoltatore partecipa attivamente al podcast dipingendo nella sua mente ciò che viene raccontato o descritto nel podcast. E' un medium che consente a chi ne usufruisce di poter fare altre cose allo stesso tempo. Posso ascoltare un podcast mentre guido la macchina, mentre sono in viaggio, mentre faccio palestra o mentre lavo i piatti. Non è possibile fare la stessa cosa con un articolo scritto o con un video.E' anzi un complemento ed un'alternativa agli articoli ed ai video da cui può essere facilmente derivato. Ha la caratteristica di essere diretto, personale, intimo. Dura nel tempo. E' periodico.Strumenti utili:Spreaker.comAnchor.fmAudacity◾Web Radio A differenza dei podcast la web radio è un canale digitale sempre in onda su Internet. Possiamo considerarlo un format perché consente di creare un flusso di contenuti continuo. Una web radio può contenere contenuti in diretta e contenuti registrati. Offre l'opportunità di fare dirette, con interviste e ospiti, di seguire eventi dal vivo, e di curare i contenuti di un podcast riprogrammandoli e organizzandoli in serie.Per chi volesse usarla per fare una canale musicale legato al brand, è necessario tenere in seria considerazione l'elemento diritti di autore, poiché questo è un costo non indifferente. Per maggiori info: https://www.siae.it/it Strumenti utili: https://Radio.co (piattaforma tipica per creare una web radio - non sono inclusi i costi dei diritti d'autore da pagare se si trasmette musica commerciale)https://Radionomy.com (consente di trasmettere musica commerciale senza pagare i diritti)◾ EserciziAltro format raro e interessante sono gli esercizi e le pratiche guidate. Collezioni di metodi per fare delle cose specifiche.Esempi: https://toolbox.hyperisland.com/ https://www.circulardesignguide.com/methodshttp://www.liberatingstructures.com/◾Liste di fonti (feed RSS)Formato rarissimo quanto utile. Creare liste di feed RSS di fonti e autori rilevanti per un argomento specifico e condividerla pubblicamente con i propri lettori, di modo che anche loro, usando Feedly o un altro lettore di feed RSS, possa seguire da un unica interfaccia tutti gli aggiornamenti rilevanti su un argomento specifico.

La ricetta vincente è il fornire info base su un argomento specifico per 5-15 min max e poi rispondere in diretta a domande dal pubblico su quell'argomento specifico.Esempi: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fattidiseo/ ◾Classifica - Best OfRaccolta ordinata dei top performer in un settore specifico: tools, siti web, blog, negozi online, articoli su temi specifici, libri, etc. Esempi:Top 100 Negozi online fatti con Shopifyhttps://ecommerceranker.com/Top 200 tools per l'apprendimentohttps://www.toptools4learning.com/Top Collaboration Toolshttps://collaboration-software.financesonline.com/c/collaboration-tools◾TimelineVisualizzazione cronologica di eventi legati ad un argomento specifico.

Pat asks Aaron a hypothetical.
Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey, the original triple distilled, triple blend Whiskey was the star this week. They use the number 3 a lot. There are 3 natural ingredients, 3 varieties of grain distillation and 3 types of maturation casks. All of this effort makes for a very good Irish Whiskey. With Irish as our theme, we discussed some of the differences between the "Wild West" aka: United States, and European Fire Departments. Building construction won out as the obvious reason for fire attack differences. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/whiskey-fire-deparment/support

Date of publication: 06/07/2018 Description: The School of Security Studies at King's is not only home to the Depts of War Studies and Defense Studies, but it is also home to multiple research and teaching centres, one of which is the focus of today's podcast. The Centre for Science and Security Studies, or CSSS, is a multi-disciplinary research and teaching group that brings together scientific experts with specialists in politics, international relations and history across the Departments of War Studies and Defence Studies. Like many of the centre's that help form the School of Security Studies, CSSS plays a crucial role in teaching, particularly on MA courses. Three unique MA programs are run within CSSS: these include the MAs in Science and Security, Non-Proliferation and International Security, and Arms Control and International Security. Through these specialized courses, students have the opportunity to engage with technical and theoretical aspects of their respective areas of study, as well as gain practical experience engaging in policy debate and diplomacy through simulations. On the 12th of June, we caught Drs. Susan Martin and Hassan Elbahtimy for a quick discussion about the Centre's MA courses just before they headed off to lead this year's annual CSSS MA Simulation. ________________ This podcast was produced by Kirk Allen.

Click Here Or On Above Image To Reach Our ExpertsSecurity Expert Says, "Confidence In Local Police Depts. Reaches A 20yr. Low"Ronald Reagan famously stated, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.” But should we apply such thinking to the police? The answer depends on whom we ask. Many liberals who otherwise defend every government program and unionized job believe that the police are increasingly abusing their power. Many conservatives who otherwise complain about unaccountable government officials consider the police department beyond reproach and say that any form of de-policing will make America less safe. Crime has decreased significantly in the past two decades, and many attribute that outcome to the proactive “broken windows” policing first advocated by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in a 1982 article. The theory goes that arresting offenders for minor crimes like loitering or drinking in public leads to a mien of order that in turn discourages major crimes. Citizens will be better off with, and thus prefer, police playing an active role in the community.Surveys today, though, show citizen confidence in the police at its lowest point in 20 years. It has dropped among Americans of all ages, education levels, incomes and races, with the decreases particularly pronounced among the young and minorities. According to a USA Today/Pew Research Center poll, only 30% of African-Americans say that they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the police, and nine out of 10 say that the “police do an ‘only fair' or poor job when it comes to equal treatment and appropriate force.” Nine out of 10 Americans surveyed say that officers should be required to wear body cameras to check police violence.The past month has seen extraordinary killings, both by police officers and of police officers, in St. Paul, Baton Rouge and Dallas. All across the political spectrum, people agree that American policing is in turmoil. But different groups emphasize different aspects of the crisis. Where Black Lives Matter protesters emphasize the danger of being killed by the police, Blue Lives Matter counter-protesters emphasize the risks faced by hard-working policemen. The issues are so polarizing as to leave little room for considered thought or discussion.PRO-DTECH II FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)As an African/American security expert, I'd like to advocate taking a step back and looking at the data to begin to gain some perspective. In 2015, 41 officers were slain in the line of duty. That means the 900,000 U.S. law-enforcement officers face a victimization rate of 4.6 deaths per 100,000 officers. Any number greater than zero is a tragedy, but the average American faces a nearly identical homicide rate of 4.5 per 100,000, and the average male actually faces a homicide rate of 6.6 per 100,000. Being a police officer is thus dangerous but not as dangerous as being an average African/American male.In the same year, police killed 1,207 Americans, or 134 Americans per 100,000 officers, a rate 30 times the homicide rate overall. Police represent about 1 out of 360 members of the population, but commit 1 out of 12 of all killings in the United States. Many argue that these are justifiable, but are they necessary? In England and Germany, where the police represent a similar percentage of the population as in the U.S., they commit less than one-half of 1% of all killings. Are higher rates of violence inevitable in our country with its more heavily armed populace, or can things be done to reduce the growing tensions?CELLPHONE DETECTOR (PROFESSIONAL)(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Former policeman Norm Stamper's book “To Protect and Serve: How to Fix America's Police” provides a first-hand account of the changes in policing over the past few decades and is a useful survey of how we got here. He started as a beat cop in San Diego in 1966 and rose to be chief of police in Seattle from 1994 to 2000. He witnessed both the more discretionary eras of policing and the advent of broken windows policing, which was first adopted in New York City in the 1990s and evolved into an aggressive form of proactive and “zero-tolerance” law enforcement that spread across the nation.PRO-DTECH III FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Mr. Stamper joined the force out of a desire to serve the community but quickly learned that his performance would be judged on the number of tickets he wrote and arrests he made. An experienced officer told him, “You can't let compassion for others get in the way.” There were quotas to fill. “The people on my beat were, in a word, irrelevant,” Mr. Stamper writes.PRO-DTECH III FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)The war on drugs was declared in 1971—then escalated in the 1980s—and Mr. Stamper noticed police increasingly treating civilians like enemy combatants. In 1994, President Clinton passed the largest crime bill in history. It allocated $8.8 billion to hire 100,000 more police officers and $10 billion for new prisons, and it established mandatory arrests for allegations like domestic violence and mandatory life sentences for third-time drug or violent offenders—the three-strikes provision. Incarceration rates spiked nationally. The rate at which the government incarcerates Americans is now seven times what it was in 1965.“To Protect and Serve” is particularly disturbing in showing that, as antagonism toward and disregard for the public increased among policemen, it had few consequences. Officers do not report on their colleagues, and prosecutors are averse to punishing people with whom they must work closely. Mr. Stamper quotes a fellow police chief saying: “As someone who spent 35 years wearing a police uniform, I've come to believe that hundreds of thousands of law-enforcement officers commit perjury every year testifying.” Instead of policemen serving the public, Mr. Stamper concludes, they end up viewing citizens as numbers or revenue sources. One important lesson from economics is that unaccountable government officials will not always act on the public's behalf.PRO-DTECH III FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Another account of modern policing is “A Good Month for Murder: The Inside Story of a Homicide Squad” by Del Quentin Wilber, a newspaper reporter who spent a month alongside detectives in one of the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. This attempt at a true-crime drama seems to have been meant in praise of police work, but Mr. Wilber unintentionally creates an unflattering picture. He shows us men who refer to their targets as “reptilian motherf—ers” and conduct multi-hour interrogations in the middle of the night to elicit confessions. They throw chairs against walls to intimidate suspects, lie boldly during interrogations and happily feed lines to witnesses to use in court.One detective “jokes with [another] that he could get [a suspect] to confess to anything: ‘Have any open murders that need to be closed?' ” The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution attempts to restrict search and seizure without probable cause, but judges here grant warrants without a thought: “He just immediately signed the paper and looked at me and winked and said, ‘Good luck.' ” At one point, a supervisor explains that a prisoner cannot be questioned about earlier crimes without having a lawyer present. The detective retorts: “F—ing Constitution.” In the end, the policemen excuse any mistakes they made by saying they had good intentions.WIRELESS/WIRED HIDDENCAMERA FINDER III(Buy/Rent/Layaway)A company that mistreats its customers cannot stay in business merely by saying it acted with good intentions. The police, by contrast, are a tax-funded monopoly, paid regardless of how well they serve or protect. Citizens subject to random fines or harassment cannot turn the police away if they are unhappy with their services. The Justice Department investigation of the Ferguson, Mo., police department last year provided an in-depth account of local politicians, police, prosecutors and judges using the legal system to extract resources from the public. In 2010, the city finance director even wrote to the police chief that “unless ticket writing ramps up significantly before the end of the year, it will be hard to significantly raise collections next year. . . . Given that we are looking at a substantial sales tax shortfall, it's not an insignificant issue.”PRO-DTECH IV FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)In 2013, he wrote to the city manager: “I did ask the Chief if he thought the PD could deliver [a] 10% increase. He indicated they could try.” The Ferguson police department evaluated officers and gave promotions based on “citation productivity,” and prosecutors and judges worked alongside them to collect revenue. In a city with 21,000 residents, the courts issued 9,000 arrest warrants in 2013 for such minor violations as parking and traffic tickets or housing-code violations like having an overgrown lawn.When the Ferguson citizenry started mass protests against police abuses last year, they were met with the equivalent of a standing army. The news photographs of police in camouflage, body armor and helmets working in military formation with guns drawn were a wake-up call for many Americans, who wondered just how the police came be so militarized. It was all part of the spread of zero-tolerance policing in the 1990s.Wireless Camera Finder(Buy/Rent/Layaway)After the 1994 crime bill, President Clinton signed a law encouraging the transfer of billions of dollars of surplus military equipment to police departments. Mr. Stamper describes applying for military hand-me-downs of “night-viewing goggles, grenade launchers, bayonets, assault rifles, armored land vehicles, watercraft, planes and helicopters.” The Department of Homeland Security provides $1.6 billion per year in anti-terrorism grants that police departments can use to purchase military equipment. Police in Hartford, Conn., for example, recently purchased 231 assault rifles, 50 sets of night-vision goggles, a grenade launcher and a mine-resistant vehicle. As recently as the 1970s, SWAT raids were rare, but police now conduct 50,000 per year. The weapons and tactics of war are common among what Mr. Clinton promised in 1994 would be “community policing.”MAGNETIC, ELECTRIC, RADIO ANDMICROWAVE DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)The question is just what would happen if law enforcement toned down its zero-tolerance policies?One of the premier defenders of the police against critics is Heather Mac Donald, a scholar at the Manhattan Institute who publishes regularly in the nation's most popular newspapers, including this one. Her book “The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe” organizes and builds on her articles to create a narrative that warns against adjusting police tactics or lowering incarceration rates. She takes aim at groups ranging from Black Lives Matter to “the Koch brothers [who] have teamed up with the ACLU, for example, to call for lower prison counts and less law enforcement.”Much of the book is focused on the post-Ferguson state of policing, but it also includes some of her warnings and predictions from recent years. In a chapter drawn from a 2013 article, for instance, Ms. Mac Donald worries that in the first full year after the court-mandated 30% decrease in California's prison population, the state's “crime rate climbed considerably over the national average.” And in one from 2014 she writes that the 2013 ruling that led to the elimination of “stop-and-frisk” tactics in New York has set in motion “a spike in violence.” Yet between 2008 and 2014, homicides fell by 21% in California and 34% in New York; crime in other categories was down, too. In the very year when Ms. Mac Donald suggests crime rates were climbing in California, homicide rates fell 7%. This was equally true for New York City after stop and frisk was outlawed; homicide rates were ultimately down 0.5% in 2014. It appears that keeping those extra 46,000 Californians behind bars or subjecting New Yorkers to 4.4 million warrantless searches between 2004 and 2013 was unnecessary for public safety.COUNTERSURVEILLANCE PROBE / MONITOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)More recently, Ms. Mac Donald has warned about a “Ferguson effect” that has led to a “rise in homicides and shootings in the nation's 50 largest cities.” Starting in the summer of 2014, anti-police-violence protests have prompted large reductions in aggressive policing, and Ms. Mac Donald points to increases in crime in cities including Baltimore, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Nashville. She states that we are now seeing a “surge in lawlessness” and a “nationwide crime wave.” The latest FBI data, however, compares the first six months of 2014 and 2015 and shows that violent and property crime have both decreased in dozens of large cities, including Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, New York and Philadelphia. From 2014 to 2015, violent crime did increase by 1.7% nationwide, but property crime decreased by 4.2%. Any data series will have some fluctuation, and even with a sustained downward trend upticks are likely. The homicide rate, for example, has seen rises in four of the past 15 years but has fallen by 18% over the same period. To put the 1.7% “surge in lawlessness” into perspective, 2012 saw a 1.9% increase in violent crime and a 1.5% increase in property crime when zero-tolerance policing was still the norm nationwide. And such a modest increase from one of the safest years in decades did nothing to change the fact that crime remained—and remains—close to a record national low.Ms. Mac Donald is not alone in her thinking. Gallup does an annual survey asking, “Is there more crime in your area than there was a year ago, or less?” In 14 of the past 15 years, the majority of Americans felt that crime had increased. But answering empirical questions requires looking at the numbers. A data-driven book that does not engage in alarmism is “The Rise and Fall of Violent Crime in America” by Barry Latzer, a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. The long-term trends in violent crime he presents are telling: In 1900, the American homicide rate was 6 per 100,000 people. During Prohibition, it increased to 9 per 100,000 but fell to 4.5 per 100,000 by the 1950s. From the late 1960s and into the 1970s, the homicide rate spiked, reaching 11 per 100,000. In the late 1970s, it started falling, increasing slightly in the late 1980s but steadily decreasing since the 1990s to the current level of 4.5 per 100,000, among the lowest in the nation's history.PRO-DTECH FREQUENCY DETECTOR(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Should one attribute the decrease in crime to zero-tolerance policing and mass incarceration? It turns out that homicide rates in Canada start at a lower level but track the changes in American homicide rates almost exactly. In the past 25 years, our northern neighbor experienced equal declines in all major crime categories despite never having ramped up its policing or incarceration rates. Those attributing all decreases in crime to increases in American law enforcement are looking in the wrong place. As Mr. Latzer carefully says, “the jury is still out”: Violent crime rates “fell off all over the nation without any clear relationship between the enormous declines in some cities and the adoption of new policing models.” Even though American and Canadian homicide rates rose in the late 1980s, the long-term downward trend clearly began in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Mr. Latzer concludes that the major determinants of a crime rate are likely cultural factors and economic opportunity. The employed family man is going to be less interested in crime than the unemployed and unattached.A month ago we heard predictions about the world economy's impending collapse if Britain left the European Union. Yet within a week of the Brexit vote, British stock prices reached 2016 highs, and American stock prices are at an all-time high. We can be sure that we will hear similar warnings in response to proposals for lowering incarceration rates, reducing the number of policemen, de-militarizing police departments or even privatizing much or all of what they do. Yet, as Messrs. Stamper and Latzer point out, professional police departments were only invented a century and a half ago, and in 1865 New York incarcerated fewer than 2,000 citizens at any given time, compared with upward of 80,000 today (48 per 100,000 then versus 265 per 100,000 now).Then, as now, societies were kept safe by numerous factors beyond government-sanctioned law enforcement. These range today from the most informal eyes on the street to the more formal million-plus private security guards currently employed in America. Around New York City, business improvement districts pay for security personnel to do foot patrols, so the relevant policy choice is not between government police or no security whatsoever. My own research has also found a strong negative correlation between homicide rates and economic freedom in a society. Free markets let people put their passions into business to work for others' benefit. Restrictions on business, including minimum-wage laws that keep young inner-city residents out of the labor force, are particularly harmful. We need more markets, not more government, to discourage crime. One need not assume that unionized, militarized and unpopular policemen are the only option for keeping Americans safe.RF SIGNAL DETECTOR ( FREQUENCY COUNTER)(Buy/Rent/Layaway)Your questions and comments are greatly appreciated.Monty Henry, Owner (function () { var articleId = fyre.conv.load.makeArticleId(null); fyre.conv.load({}, [{ el: 'livefyre-comments', network: "livefyre.com", siteId: "345939", articleId: articleId, signed: false, collectionMeta: { articleId: articleId, url: fyre.conv.load.makeCollectionUrl(), } }], function() {}); }());
Dr. Bazian is co-founder of Zaytuna College, an innovative Muslim liberal arts college in Berkeley and the first accredited Muslim undergraduate college in the U.S. He is also senior lecturer in Depts. of Near Eastern and Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley.TRANSCRIPTSpeaker 1:Method to the madness is next. Speaker 2:No one's listening to method to the madness. At Biweekly Public Affairs show on k a l ex Berkeley celebrating bay area innovators. Today you see Berkeley Student Anna Sterling interviews Dr Houghton Bosnian cofounder of say Tuna College, [00:00:30] the first accredited Muslim college in the United States where he teaches Islamic law and theology. He's also senior lecturer in Near Eastern Studies and ethnic studies here at UC Berkeley. Speaker 3:Okay. Speaker 1:Welcome to the show Dr. Horton Bosnian. We're here today to talk about the Tuna College, which is here in Berkeley, [00:01:00] uh, the first accredited Muslim college in the United States. What was the impetus for starting the college? Speaker 4:Thank you for having me first, um, to the show, the impetus for the college cam as a result of the increasing a number of Muslim communities both here in the bay area and across the country, and the need to address the multifaceted challenges that are meeting the communities from, uh, [00:01:30] the growing number of centers that require, uh, individuals who are trained both in Islamic tradition, but also aware of the various, uh, issues that come out of the, uh, American context and living within such a rabid, fast paced society. Uh, so the impetus for it is, uh, comes out from really addressing this vast need. Second aspect is that the ability of religious leaders and leaders to come from [00:02:00] abroad, uh, was increasingly, uh, very challenging in terms of attempt to meet the needs. Uh, and I think this is also a normative process that other religious communities historically have, uh, been through. Speaker 4:The Catholics used to get there, uh, ministers and priests from, uh, Ireland or from Italy. And as the patterns of immigration settlements and second generation, third generation, uh, the need was outstripping the ability [00:02:30] to provide them, bring individuals from, uh, abroad as well as the fact that individuals were born in this country required a person who could come in with an understanding of what are the particular needs that might not be transferable from other countries, whether it's Italy or Ireland at the time and for the Muslim community. Likewise, uh, that was something that they were facing Speaker 1:and it started out as a seminary originally and then became a Muslim college, Speaker 4:[00:03:00] a Liberal Arts College. What's the mix there? Why was that move important? Initially we were thinking about the seminary in order to train individuals in a seminary type of a setting with the specifically religious focus exclusively. But as we looked at where the community's at, the top of training that is needed to have individuals finish a seminary degree, which is a graduate degree. [00:03:30] We felt that the prerequisites almost are four to five years in the making and are a pipeline of individuals who might come into a very narrowly structured a seminary program would be a challenge considering where we are at in terms of the United States. So we had to step back and think of a college with a liberal arts degree. And then from that we hope that students who graduate, we'll rotate a number of fields [00:04:00] and one of the fields that they might go into, it will be a seminary type, whether to go to GTU, Hartford seminary or some of the other seminaries around the country. Speaker 4:And also in the hope for us in the future to have a master phd program where students who want to be trained in a seminary setting can do so under the umbrella of the GTU Gray with theological union. So we had to step back in order for us to move forward and stepping back by setting up a this liberal arts [00:04:30] degree, we need students who have a strong hold in the Arabic language. So our students now have to finish five years of Arabic. So once they go into a seminary or graduate degree, they already have the prerequisites and they don't have to start from scratch. So that's the a shift in the strategy, not in the shift in what we are hoping to accomplish with a small subset of the graduates. And it's not open to just Muslims, it's open to everyone. Anyone who's interested in having [00:05:00] a liberal arts degree is welcome and hopefully when we get to the master phd track, likewise, anyone who wants to have a quality education is welcome. Speaker 4:I think we're at 50 55% women, 45% men. We're having some interest from Christian colleges that are interested in having a way to dialogue but also as a way to have education where they could send their students in there. So I think this will come. We had actually a a conference between our students and their students. So I think in our relationship [00:05:30] with GTU has been great. All of the nine different denominations at GTU have embraced us now with the two buildings that we own. We're both GTU on buildings that they sold to us. PSR sold us the LACAN building, which is at the corner and then the Prentice Kent School of Theology Corner, uh, building that yellow corner building Euclid, they did not bought it on the market. They actually up a project say we want to sell the building. You got to love Franciscans. Yeah. So, [00:06:00] so they sold us a building. Speaker 4:They invited at one and then when they, when we signed the contract, they had a, a dinner for us and one of the priests gave a lecture on Islam and on the wall they had a photograph of medical idol of Egypt and San Francis embracing because the assumption is that St Francis was one of the key figures that ended the crusades because he finished, he went and visited the medical idle in Egypt at the time and then came back to the pool. And as the pool to provide [00:06:30] a way for people to repent without having to go on a crusade. And that's what's the, a Franciscan sec developed out of San Francis visit to Egypt and his encounter with AMAG. So they had that post or that picture on the wall and they gave it as a gift to us as well. I didn't know that St Francis is my favorite saint. He's kind of like within the Catholic digital, he's accredited of shifting because without the possibility of having to go to some other place [00:07:00] to, to cleanse yourself and repent, then people were still being sent to the Crusades. So St Francis upon returning from Egypt, he actually asked for that to be the way. Yeah. And the pope gave him that. Speaker 1:Um, one thing that I thought was interesting on the website is it mention, it had a list of perennial faculty sort of citing, you know, a long list of Muslim thinkers and intellectuals. What's the purpose of sort of connecting to that past? What do you sort of hope to convey to the students of today living in Berkeley, [00:07:30] in the bay area? In the center Speaker 4:liberal education or Liberal Arts degree is rooted in the great books of the past. And therefore, even though that in our today fast paced culture, it seems that you are the center of the world. Uh, so we're trying to say that yes, you're the center of the world in one dimension, but everything that you think it's in, you has a long deray to it. Uh, all the way back from the Chinese words to Indian words, to the Greek, to the Romans, [00:08:00] to the Muslim civilization and so on. So it is rooted in linking back to the great traditions in great intellectual contribution, and then to see where these contributions are at by thinking of the perennial faculty or prenatal contribution, and then where you could add your own distinctive aspect upon or building upon what was done in the past. And I think it's a similar to the Catholic tradition. If you say, look at St Mary's College or uh, uh, San John's [00:08:30] and so on, the great books tradition is rooted in there. So in a similar way, we want to convey that there is a tradition within the Islamic pedagogical approach to think of these great books and how to link the students to that tradition Speaker 1:standing on the shoulders of giants. Absolutely. I noticed that this right now the college is around 50 to 60 students, about 60 students, just other Speaker 4:25 for this coming fall. Speaker 1:So it was sort of a tight knit community. What role does the larger [00:09:00] Muslim non Muslim community play at the college? Speaker 4:When we were thinking about where to locate the college, there were a number of possibilities. We had literally offers to go some other places around the country where the land would be almost free if, uh, actually they'll pay you to take it. Uh, we had a location where they had a full college set up with a gym, a swimming pool, housing that was for sale from a to Z. Literally youth pick up the key [00:09:30] and you have a college ready made. Uh, but you know, I assure you it was not one of those Trump's colleges. That was then what we were thinking is that to create a college, you need a hospitable environment. And in looking at many of us, the three founders were here in the bay area, in Mom's age, Hamza myself, that if you want to create a college from scratch, you have two major institutions in the bay area at Berkeley and Stanford. Speaker 4:And therefore by boarding the college next to a major [00:10:00] university, you get the synergy that is there as a result of the intellectual, uh, environment that is there. It also though is an existing Muslim student population that is at the surrounding university in Berkeley. I think approximately 800 Muslim students give or take are here. And then you also have a large Muslim population in the bay area. The study that I did on the bay area Muslim community is about 250,000 with some nine 90 centers in the region. So it is really [00:10:30] having a major intellectual hub in the bay area that is hospitable, that is embracing of diversity and inclusiveness. And that made the choice of the bay area, uh, a foregone conclusion to having the college located in here. Uh, the challenge once again is, uh, we have to compete with Twitter, Facebook, and Google in terms of prices of real estate and being able to really have the buildings are needed. Uh, one is to acquire [00:11:00] building, but also how to expand in the distant future. The major challenge is the cost effectiveness is very high, but once again, location, location, location, and that was one of the major factors. Speaker 1:And what's the average as a tuna student if there is, when are they typically from the bay area or Speaker 4:no, we're getting students from nationally, I think, uh, depends different class, uh, enrollment differ. But in general we get students from across the country, from Florida, from Michigan, from New York, uh, [00:11:30] from New Jersey, Ohio, California. We do have a segment of it. So it's, uh, really a plus section of the Muslim community in the United States. Speaker 1:And what do you hope that they, once they graduate, that they sort of put out into the world, what sort of skills do you hope they, that you've given them? Oh, our mission really is Speaker 4:about graduating morally committed leaders that grounded in Islamic tradition and conversant in the modern contemporary occurrence in our society. So what we want is for them [00:12:00] to lead in whichever place ever career track that they choose. We don't train students for a career. We try. Our education is a commitment to lifelong learning and for them to commit themselves to education as a value in itself. That that is the end. Education is an end by itself and not to think of education and utilitarian function. So we definitely, while we want them to be engaged in society in whichever field and profession [00:12:30] that is not the end of the degree, but rather it should be the beginning of their contribution to society and want them to also act morally and ethically in the society. Uh, so that's what we want them to be. That they are reflective of the grounding that we're giving them in the institution. Speaker 1:I think that idea of the morally committed leader is very interesting. I know that you, you founded the Islamophobia Research and documentation project here at Berkeley, as well as the Islamophobia Studies Journal [00:13:00] as well as you've also contributed a number of opinion columns, you know, about Trump and, and other issues surrounding Islamophobia with this rise of Islamophobic rhetoric, particularly on the campaign trail. What sort of shifts have any have happened at the college to sort of face these new crises? Speaker 4:Well, I don't think there is a shift in the college because I think our curriculum and education we offer, Eh, it will have to stand the test of time, whether [00:13:30] it's Trump or any other person that wants to use racism, discrimination, otherwise nation, uh, want to build a walls on the ground as well as intellectual walls. Our degree will stand the test of time. Now we are aware that we are in a highly tense period where a particular segment of the American society in particular white working class are being stoked into racism, [00:14:00] into discrimination, into pointing their finger at an other ad is the source of their, a loss of economic opportunity that their standard of living has declined, that they're outsourcing of their jobs have been undertaken earnestly from the 70s, 80s on ongoing. So instead of confronting the real issues and who is responsible, who was on the driver's seat, uh, the blame has been stoked strategically so as a wedge issue [00:14:30] to blame on the one hand Latinos that they are the ones that are undermining our economic, uh, opportunities. Speaker 4:Looking at the Muslim community and saying that, uh, this war on terrorism is basically not making us a strong looking at black life matters and the African American community in essence, by blaming them in really racist undertone, uh, by speaking that they are not carrying their weight, that a, there are depending on social welfare. All these are [00:15:00] buzzwords that are using cultural nuances to push a racist discourse and to try to imagine America of the past, uh, that is not tenable and trying to maintain a particular cluster of communities in the u s in a power at a time where the grounds have shifted tremendously. So we are aware of those. And the challenge for us is on the one hand, to document the period we are in terms of Islamophobia and what it's taken, but also how [00:15:30] to develop what I considered to be the new civil and human rights movement in this country that will reclaim the high ground and at the same time to undo the stalking of the white middle class and to actually develop a coalition that will address the largest segment and to point out what are the reasons of the challenges that we are having. Speaker 4:What are the challenges of outsourcing? What are the challenges of the 1% that is basically [00:16:00] running all the way to the bank many times over and then getting, being rescued by the collective taxpayers. So that's the, I would say if there's a single or challenge that is the challenge is how to create a new society, a base on a board that will hold everyone, uh, without anybody trying to book, uh, holes on the bottom of the hole for the ship to sink. And that's how we see the circumstances. And when, as a today's position and how have your students reacted? Well, they're engaged, they're engaged [00:16:30] both in terms of, part of our program requires that the students have to undertake, uh, community service hours and part of community service hours have to be in how they give back and contribute. And on the one hand we have an alternative spring break. Speaker 4:So for example, the number of students went to Ferguson to volunteer to work with habitat for humanity. Another group in the alternative spring break went to Utah. And uh, when, uh, with the National Forest Service [00:17:00] to plan tree and work on the environment. So they're engaged in ways where they could be making the difference as they are developing their or sharpen their intellectual skills. So in essence, they are proactively engaged in order to make a difference and build the bridges that are needed for an imagining of a different America that is inclusive, that is embracing, that also looks for the best interest [00:17:30] of those who have left behind and have fallen through the cracks. And I think that's what we want our students to undertake. Speaker 1:And I saw that recently, last March Zaytuna received the first accredited Muslim college in the u s so what does that mean for the college? Speaker 4:The institution of higher learning have an accreditation. And uh, from the first day we started this project, we wanted the institution to be accredited, in essence, to be admitted and invited to [00:18:00] the diverse academic table of higher education and for a Muslim college to receive accreditation and to sit at the table and offer our own ideas in conversation and in collaboration with other institutions of higher learning. And that process is a, we took it as a challenge for us. And also another opportunity because part of accreditation, you do a self study, you look at your curriculum, you look at your institutions, you look at your financial capacity reporting [00:18:30] and there is about 37 different criteria that you have to fulfill. And we took it seriously that this is an opportunity for us to assess where are we at. And uh, we were engaged with the last, there was an association forcing the schools and colleges, same institution that accredits UC Berkeley. Speaker 4:So we were the fastest institution to begin the accreditation process and achieve accreditation, uh, by the team, the visiting team. In one visit we were able to get accreditation, uh, even UC Berkeley [00:19:00] had to go many times over and some other colleges we were able to achieve it. And, uh, both our curriculum, our, uh, institutional capacity, our finances are very sound. One question that the accreditation committee asked us time and time again because many institution want to get accreditation so they would be able to apply for federal financial aid for students. Now we have made a commitment institutionally that no students will graduate with debt. So we are committed [00:19:30] to students graduating debt free. And as founders we go out and actually appeal to the Muslim community who had part of their financial wellbeing is to give a charitable contribution the terms the cat. So we have been able to develop as a cat fund that provides needy students and any students that have a challenge financially to provide them the resources. Speaker 4:So we actually, when they asked us, are you looking to get federal financial aid? I said, that's really, we [00:20:00] are, we don't want to apply for a federal financial aid. We want our students to graduate that free. We don't believe that you have to be in debt from the cradle to the grave. And I think that is something that we have to offer both institutionally, but also give it as an example of how education can be an avenue for individuals and society to liberate itself from the bondage of financial burden. And I think increasingly our education has become a financial burden where an average [00:20:30] undergrad graduate with $97,000 in debt. And if you go to a master's or phd, it could go into the hundreds of thousand and uh, God forbid you go to the medical school or if you want to train as a lawyer, you actually comes up with maybe 300 to $400,000 in debt if you go to laptop school, which essentially incentivize those individuals who will come out of these institutions to immediately try to stick it to anyone financially. And as such, you lose the bonds of the society [00:21:00] at the foundational level. So that's something that we are committed to it. And I think the accreditation team was taken back because if not every private institution depends heavily on federal financial aid and therefore what you have is a private institution that is uh, loading the students with debt as a way to run the institution. I think ethically and morally that is a wrong approach to higher education in general. Speaker 1:And right now as a tuna, the only Muslim college in the u s or has it sort of inspired [00:21:30] at least ideas for other ones, Speaker 4:it's what we were the only accredited institutions. There is a number of projects that we're hoping that they are on their road to accreditation. There's the American Slavic College in Chicago. They had been longer in place but they went dormant and they'd been back in attempting to get their accreditation process. They have filed, we already sent a letter of support to their accreditation. There is a couple of other institution in the early formative stage. Our expectation as the community increases and the numbers, once [00:22:00] again depending on which a study you look at from two and a half to 3 million to about six or 7 million, you take your number as a in terms of what statistical model you use as the community increases. The needs for such institution will rise and I think we will see in the next few years a number of institution joining Zaytuna and that will be very positive for us as well as the institutions that are coming to provide the services for the community. Speaker 1:Creating perhaps [00:22:30] more of a network there. Speaker 4:Absolutely. We're still, we are right now in discussing as a consortium among Muslim institutions that are either applying or attempting to get into an accreditation and I compare it to, once again, I think we're inspired by the Catholic tradition at a time where the Catholics were in this country that they began to invest in higher education. There were less than one and a half percent of the population. They were facing tremendous racism. If you notice some of the literature around building Catholic churches and Catholic [00:23:00] institutions, if you just take the same texts that were written on Catholics and remove the Catholic Church and the Pope and you just insert Islam and Muslim, you don't have to change much of the literature and at the time they were one and a half percent and they did a, I would say a deliberate strategic initiative in investing in higher education as a way to address their needs and now you look around the country. The Catholic institutions are the premier institutions in the country as well as if you look at their a k through 12 [00:23:30] schools as some of the best schools in this country are run by the Catholics. So in this sense a religious communities, I'm making a path and constructing a way for them both to address their own particular needs, but also contributing to shaping society in general is the longstanding tradition within the American society, but also across across the world. Speaker 1:So do you also sort of take that as inspiration for future plans for [inaudible]? What's next for the college? Speaker 4:Once again, the challenge of keeping the college running is the [00:24:00] biggest challenge right now. Uh, we're a 24, seven fundraising, uh, both to run for operation but also to provide all the needs of the students. There's, you know, we work on a five year plan, uh, acquisition of some housing for students. Uh, also possibly housing for faculty as the need to increase our faculty. One of the biggest challenge and once again in the bay area, it's the cost of housing that is making it prohibitive for us to be able to [00:24:30] attract the faculty talent with the cost bases that we have. So that will be another part of our project. And then looking down the line is to begin the project for uh, having the Master Phd Program and we're already in initial conversation with GTU to join as a member school within the GTU. So that's already in the initial stage of conversation. We will be joining having an master of divinity in Islamic Studies and possibly a phd track a few years after that, [00:25:00] joining them in all of the collaborative projects that they have joining the library. So all those are in the drawing boards for the next five years in terms of where are the steps that are needed. Speaker 1:And right now you offer a Ba, an Islamic law theology with an optional honors program. Speaker 4:It's a Ba in liberal arts with a focus on Islamic law and theology. And there is an honor program where students have to take a particular set of additional courses. We also have actually a, an endowment to, [00:25:30] uh, provide in particular women who want to take a stem track, uh, who want to go to medicine and injury. And we actually have an endowment where they could actually take courses here at Berkeley or city college to augment the Ba degree that we're offering. So they, if they want to apply to an engineering or a medical or MCB and so on, they're are able to do that. So that's already on the books and we're able to offer that for students who are coming in. Speaker 1:So in addition to [00:26:00] the Graduate Theological Union GTU, what are other sort of organizations that you're partnering with the sort of strength in the college? Speaker 4:What do we want? Definitely to have a strong relations with UC Berkeley. So that's something that we look forward to. A GTU, a San Francisco State University, Santa Clara University. Uh, we're working also with a ucs f for the chaplaincy program. So some of our students want to be chaplains in the hospitals. So they have a certification program and we're making the link where students can actually, [00:26:30] uh, they need to do about 80 hours of, uh, supervised chaplaincy training in the hospital. So that is open for them. Uh, in that way we have a relationship with Hartford seminary. So students want to finish from here, can go to Harvard seminary. We have a number of Miranda of understanding with the universities in Turkey. Uh, we had a visit from the, uh, uh, wife of the prime minister of Malaysia who are also likewise looking at cooperation in terms of higher education and [00:27:00] where can we engage in helping, uh, some of their projects. Speaker 4:So once again, these are opportunities that will, uh, continue to expand and we're looking forward to continue to open doors of possibilities for our students and our institution. America has, it's, it's definitely open many possibilities and opportunities for people. So Islam and education go hand in hand. The first word in, uh, in the Koranic revelation was read and therefore there is no such [00:27:30] thing, at least from our perspective, you cannot have an Islam without having it being founded upon education. And therefore we celebrate the history in the past of a Islamic contribution, whether it's in initiating and building libraries. Uh, the notion of a public library is actually originates from the Islamic culture and Islamic civilization because it was such a commitment to public access and universal access to education. So I think being in here, being in the United States [00:28:00] and the impact and the importance of education in the modern age that we can see being in this country, being a Muslim without actually taking to uplift education, but also be a corrective because increasingly education has become corporatized where your knowledge is added to what kind of cubicle you can get. And I think that has, for me, that's a very problematic construct. Not that we don't peep, we don't need individuals to function and create [00:28:30] and work creatively in the economy. But that is not the purpose of education. That's what you do is not that what you know. And I think for us Zaytuna College, if it can help move in a corrective way, the emphasis that we have in education, then I think our impact and contribution will be monumental. Speaker 1:So how can anyone get in touch with Zaytuna or possibly apply? Speaker 4:Well, we're uh, available online so you could access our website, www dot [inaudible] dot edu and [00:29:00] we're also on Twitter, on Facebook. And you could also reach me myself, a hot and on.com on my own website as well as Twitter. And hopefully if, if you would like to be in a place that celebrates education and both knowledge in a triumphant position, uh, Daytona might be the place for you and we will come you to come and visit us for no other reason. That's [inaudible] Speaker 1:and that's a tuna college@zaytuna.edu. Speaker 3:Thank you so much, Dr Bozzi on for being on the show.
