Here is the transpose of a tedic president, the universal the universal the University of the Nation’s University, that nation’s burning air with Margaret Brennian “July 275, 2025.
Margaret Brennan: We are now to Columbus, Ohio and the president of Ohio University, Ted Carter. President Carter, Welcome to ‘Face the nation.’
Ohio State Universitate Ted Carter: Margaret, good to be with you on this Sunday by Columbus, Ohio.
Margaret Brennan: you wanted you very much directly on these Trump Administration claims is one of 60 universities that have considered to be practical and the policies in antinemitic campus. They said you are investigated for them and false at the end of the policies of diversion, which could be a violation of civil rights. What’s the state of the problems? And how much pressure are you below?
Carter: be pretty frank, I don’t feel much pressure. Our understanding we are in those lists because we were first on those lists under the bid administration. I am working with the office of the hives’ office during that administration, and I think especially that was a Holver. We are more than happy to talk to anyone from the civil rights office. We are behind our actions. We know how we acted during the protest time. We have never had a drive here in the State Ohio. We had some tejection we have allowed, and that is Oba Iba the long rules of room on the oval, what is the center of our campus. So I am confident that as this plays ahead, we just go.
Margaret Brennan: Trump administration has posted the state on the college list is lost in your broader lid of the lighter. I am worried that your federal funds could be in danger because of it?
Carter: Ben, as I always tell myself for my personal and my people will be right for the reasons, all you will play. And we did so that since I’ve been there for one. January 2024. Our search funding here in the state of Ohio has grown Leaps and limits in the last few years. We actually number 11 in the country, in front of Harvard, Anobal Hill. Our entries have last year were $ 1.6 billion, 775 million of that come from the federal government, largely in nsf. As we arrived today, they had some impacted research, but in the decay of millions of dollars, than nothing to see our League Ivils, and a lot of this is also in litiga. Thus tell me not what the number of noons that we can lose, but against a $ 1.6. It is that impact on some of his intact. Unlike some of our false, we have an important armer there, 14,000 faculties, put students ago, what do you search here. And is significant. Goes out of numbers and dollars. I am what is what makes you do for the community, what makes to extend and save life, and what makes in farm, what makes for our cleaning strength. So what did he want you, at this moment today – we love all year, we are always in our prior to search of more people here permitted.
Margaret Brennan: Were we hope that the future, sir but sounds to employ. But I have read that when you had the white battle house in the white house before the Trump’s Presidé and the President Vance that Quote, State is not the enemy. Why you feel you had to say that? What do you mean?
Carter: Well, that I could have been done a little out of the context. I guy saying that in a joy, some of the vicefrangers when I had a chance to meet with him, and we had a long conversation. Been a very productive conversation. I am going to all the details but the point is, they know that state i do good things for the right reasons. I have said publicly I believe that the education warning is on the University of Bancee, we will see you from today, also get out of our Fedal government here in Ohio. But now I feel that we are still defense, they also understand how you are pleasing our batter to the ball and we are presenting how us to play offense. This is a time where institutions as the state of ohio, we are very financial secure. I actually seek me to invest in ourselves. I just think about the graduation ceremony we had only this past can. We produce about 18,000 in graduate one year. But the briemission, has certain69, 400- all is for the path, they are gold that morning. And 90% of those students- 90% already has a job or went to another highest academic effort. And 70% of those study students were in the state of Ohio. 66% of the PhD and the teachers are in the state of Ohio. This is a wonderful force development program. It is what has greeted by the owner of the ownership and American public in higher education, and this is initiated to change.
Margaret Brennan: Vice claimed was on this program several times- and one of them when you also had a senator. She was talking to him on his opinions on top education. I was mentioned ohio then said to him, have you been about to college – I was not spoken university that you think it has a point?
Carter: I think top education began to build that reputation. And you can also see that in the poll to the cock-light. Know, evidence the superintendent by the Naval Academy from 2019 to 2019 you know, and that Glip Panl in 2015 said 60% of IMONS had high. Now I don’t get ahead and just move that nine years ahead, yet, two in three Americans dicks have no confidence in higher education. That’s a really bad brand. Americans told the costs of higher education too. Were saying that the return on investment was difficult to try. They had even saying that some of the research be made cannot impact oe so families. And yes, there was this conversation on the students’ potential smell, or what institutions were tilted very liberal. You know, we are as top education admin maybe I should listen to the American public and say, maybe we still haven’t right. So I have here to say, here in the University of Ohio State, we have paid the attention to that. We make efforts to make the affordability a key problem for students. I mentioned that the graduation grade class, 57% of those subjects left with zero debt. Zero debt. And the other 43% that departed with debt was less than $ 24,000. And as we look through our insurance practices, I have 8,500 faculty. It’s the best faculty group I’ve ever worked in my 12 years of driving in taller and saying a little. I will tell you that as soon as we will engage in the future, we are looking at all the healthy political spector for who we are inging.
Margaret Brennan: At this point, you talked about what happened to the state level. The legislature of the Republican the Republican has passed a law that removes diversity programs, makes a number of things. But he also need teachers to post their syllabus course- syllabi online and their contact info. Do you think this is meant to intimidate? Are you worried? Is your faculty faculty of fire on what they do?
Carter: Yes, I’m stopped at our faculty through our senate of faculty and our leadership. There is some concerns, of course, because we have not done that before. We have some time before they implement that. We’ve got all the pieces of the Senate Bill 1 that is OGEMBLE AFTER OLD HOW IN THE STATE OF OHIO, in the implementation. We are working that some details, but let the principles, that is that you are always in the comfort, and still call work. We will always continue some of the federal policies that go out. We are ready and prepared to do all that.
Margaret Brennan: At That Point, you saw what Columbia University has had to pay to $ 200 billion to install Trump administration to make programs diversity. This previous one trouble? I mean- would you take a deal like that?
Carter: Well, I can’t talk to these institutions because I don’t drive. I know the first chairman busman and some of the other ivy ivy presidents are colleagues, and they should do what you call to be in survival mode. Fairly evenly, we don’t go any one in the ohio state, and no i think we’ll be. I mean, obviously we have a new status law. We are a public institution, so it means that we are transparent and put it that much time whose state we do the state of the Ohio and the whole country you is seen to see it.
Margaret Brennan: Let’s see what happens. Good luck for you sir. We’ll be back.
