A
Good
evening
I'm
pittsburgh
city
councilman,
daniel
lavelle
and
I'm
councilman
reverend
ricky
burgess,
and
we
welcome
you
back
to
another
episode
of
black
pittsburgh
matters.
Black
pittsburgh
matters
is
a
series
of
virtual
town
hall
meetings,
affirming
a
city-wide
agenda
that
black
pittsburgh
does
indeed
matter.
Black
pittsburgh
matters
mean
black
lives
matter.
It
means
we
must
protect
the
health
and
safety
of
black
people.
It
means
black
communities
matter.
We
must
rebuild
black
communities
in
a
means
of
black
wealth
matters.
We
must
work
on
increasing
black
employment
and
entrepreneurship.
B
The
black
community
has
been
disproportionately
affected
by
the
by
concurrent
crisis:
one
the
kovic
19
pandemic
and
the
resulting
economic
crisis
and
two
race
relations
and
racial
upheaval,
which
is
a
public
health
crisis.
Normally,
in
times
of
crisis
and
great
change,
we
will
be
coming
to
you
as
the
black
elected
officials
of
pittsburgh
and
having
means
across
the
city
with
our
constituents,
partners
and
allies,
since
we
cannot
do
this
safely
in
the
current
pandemic.
B
We're
now
using
this
media
and
platform
to
come
to
you
in
the
ways
in
which
we
can
to
talk
about
what
we're
doing
and
discuss
policy
and
legislation
concerning
black
pittsburgh.
These
meetings
will
be
available
via
facebook
youtube
and
the
city's
cable
channel.

you

underneath
our
feed
at
the
facebook
page
to
know
today's
town
hall
meeting
topic
is
higher
education
in
black
pittsburgh.
A
Universities
in
the
greater
pittsburgh
area
are
responsible
for
pumping
more
than
11
billion
dollars
in
local
salaries,
accounting
for
22
percent
of
total
salaries
in
our
region.
In
addition
to
the
financial
benefits,
we
have
world-class
research
institutions,
advancing
medicine,
tech,
innovation
and
attracting
the
best
and
brightest
to
our
city.
The
universities
bring
in
86
000
students
per
year.
Surprisingly,
these
universities
are
also
situated
in
the
inner
and
mostly
in
the
inner
core
of
our
city,
surrounded
by
mostly
black
and
brown
communities.
A
B
As
you
know,
and
I'm
going
to
now
show
a
little
bit
my
age,
I
taught
my
first
college
class
in
1979,
so
I've
been
teaching
in
higher
education
now
for
over
40
years.
I'm
and,
to
be
honest,
I'm
a
proud,
professor
at
the
community
college
of
allegheny
county,
I'm
in
my
29th
year
there
and
I
teach
in
one
of
some
of
my
classes-
are
in
homewood,
which
is
an
african-american
community.
I
really
do
believe
that
education
is,
and
as
martin
luther
king
and
the
civil
rights
movement.
B
We
all
believe
that
education
is
a
key
ingredient
for
black
people,
for
their
self-improvement,
but
we're
not
just
talking
about
undergraduate
degrees,
but
that
through
training
and
workforce
development,
and
all
these
other
things
that
universities
can
provide,
we
can
have
a
more
equipped
workplace
and
equip
workforce
rather
for
the
workplace,
because
the
problem
now
is
not
necessarily
not
enough
jobs,
but
not
enough
trained
work.
People
in
the
workforce
to
supply
the
jobs
that
are
available
in
this
new
economy.
A
So
I
agree
wholeheartedly
and
I'm
gonna
come
back
to
that,
because
I've
actually
had
that
conversation
with
some
at
the
universities,
but
I
also
want
to
announce
for
those
who
may
be,
who
may
not
have
seen
or
heard
reverend-
and
you
know
this
pitt
university
of
pittsburgh
started
community
engagement
centers
a
couple
years
ago.
They
opened
the
first
one
up
in
your
district.
A
They
soon
followed
and
opened
a
second
one
up
in
the
hill,
but
this
actually
had
a
temporary
location
for
the
last
few
months
and
a
few
days
ago,
I
believe,
on
the
24th.
If
I
had
my
fax
correctly,
the
board
of
trustees
at
pit
just
approved
contributing
up
to
about
six
million
dollars
to
help
renovate
the
new
granada
theater
for
their
permanent
home
for
their
cec,
which
is
catalytic
as
it
relates
to
helping
re-energize
and
begin
rebuilding
a
commercial
district
within
the
hill
district.
B
Yeah-
and
I
think
you
know
we
have
ccac
with
the
homewood
branch
we
have
pit
with
now
two,
and
we
know
we
believe
the
cmu
is
also
going
to
come
and
participate
in
programs
and
facilities
and
black
communities,
and
we,
we
just
believe
that
that
is
the
partnerships
that
are
needed.
Moving
forward
is
to
bring
this
the
strength
of
our
new
economy,
specifically
into
black
communities,
to
help
transform
them
from
communities
of
concentrated
poverty
into
stable
mixed
income
communities.
B
A
Evening,
so,
thank
you
all
for
being
willing
to
join
us
this
evening.
It
is
truly
amazing
to
have
such
an
extinguished
panel
with
us
this
evening.
We
cannot
thank
you
as
much
as
possible,
given
that
I
spoke
about
pitt
in
my
opening
sort
of
remarks.
I'll
start
there,
but
it's
really
a
question
for
all
mr
gallagher.
A
Obviously
the
chancellor
you've
recently
made
a
number
of
public
statements
about
how
the
university
needs
to,
and
I
hope
I
get
this
quote
correctly-
sort
of
step
out
of
your
ivory
tower,
which
I've
heard
you
refer
to
the
cathedral.
Learning
is
that
have
retire
in
order
to
support
the
communities
around
you.
Can
you
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
why
you
feel
it's
important
for
the
universities
to
embrace
the
residents
surrounding
your
community
and
what
sort
of
actions
you're
taking
to
begin
engaging
the
community.
C
Well,
thank
you
councilman,
it's
really
great
to
be
here.
You
know.
I
think
that
that
those
statements
really
flow
directly
from
our
mission.
You
know
we
sometimes
forget,
particularly
with
these
very
old
institutions
like
universities
have
been
around
in
case
of
pitt
since
before
the
constitution
was
signed,
that
it's
not
all
about
them.
C
It's
the
university
of
pittsburgh
and
its
purpose
when
it
was
founded,
was
to
advance
the
interest
of
the
region
to
provide
opportunity
for
the
people
lived
here,
to
provide
training
resources
to
be
a
magnet
for
talent.
To
do
all
of
these
things
that
that
universities
can
do-
and
I
I
think
sometimes
you
know,
institutions
get
a
little
bit
self-absorbed.
C
You
know
we
we
think
about
ourselves
and
our
our
faculty
and
our
students
and
our
programs,
and
of
course
these
are
big,
complicated
places,
but
I
think
you
always
have
to
keep
that
outward
focus,
and
you
know,
of
course
everyone
thinks
of
the
academy
as
the
ivory
tower.
Of
course,
pit
has
one
ironically,
and
I
just
always
remind
people
that
we're
not
an
ivory
tower,
that
we
are
an
extension
of
the
community
around
us
and
I
think
for
pitt.
It's
it's
that's
an
illuminating
way
to
look
at
it.
C
I
think
universities
in
this
region
have
a
well-deserved
reputation
of
catalyzing,
dramatic
reinvention
of
the
region.
We
all
talk
about
the-
and
you
mentioned
this
in
your
opening
statement-
dramatic
reinvention
of
pittsburgh
from
heavy
industry
and
steel
and
aluminum
to
eds
and
meds,
and
of
course
the
universities
are
often
mentioned
in
that
same
story.
C
But
the
reality
in
pittsburgh
is
that
that
renaissance
hasn't
belonged
to
everybody
and
some
of
the
neighborhoods
in
our
immediate
shadow
and
in
fact,
in
the
shadow
of
the
cathedral,
have
in
many
ways
been
left
behind
in
that
economic
participation.
C
And
that's
that's
on
us
too,
and
I
think
that's
that's
only
doing
part
of
your
mission,
and
so
we
think
that
all
aspects
of
the
university's
mission
from
opening
ourselves
up
to
to
great
students
so
we've
expanded.
You
know
programs
of
scholarship
programs
for
pittsburgh,
students
and
all
the
valedictorians
and
salutatorians
from
all
the
pittsburgh.
Public
schools
are
granted
automatic
admission,
expanded
scholarships,
but
also
hiring
you
know
who
do
we
hire
from
who
do
we
buy
from
who
do
we
do
business
with?
C
Who
do
we
partner
with,
and
I
think
the
community
engagement
centers
are
really
this
idea
of
kind
of
embracing
one
of
the
best
features
of
pittsburgh,
which
are
its
neighborhoods
and
creating
an
actual
physical
place
where
those
partnerships
can
take
hold.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that.
But
you
know
candidly
there's
still
a
long
ways
to
go
so
we're
looking
forward
to
you
know
taking
the
richness
of
a
university
and
letting
the
communities
work
us
work
with
us
to
define
what
are
some
of
the
big
challenges.
C
We
should
be
focused
on
whether
it's
health
disparities
or
economic
disparities
or
educational
opportunities
or
economic
and
job
opportunities.
We
want
to
be
an
asset
to
the
neighborhoods
that
live
right
next
to
us.
D
Absolutely
happy
to,
I
think,
pat
summarized
probably
the
feeling
of
all
of
the
university
presidents
on
on
colleges,
and
this
call
first
of
all,
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you,
reverend
burgess
and
councilman
lavelle.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
leadership
of
our
city,
especially
during
these
very
difficult
and
trying
times
for
the
entire
nation.
I
want
to
start
by
saying
that,
echoing
something
that
pat
said,
listen,
I'm
relatively
new
to
pittsburgh.
D
I've
lived
here
for
about
six
years,
some
of
you,
including
pat,
and
can
have
a
long
history
in
pittsburgh.
The
truth
is
when
I
travel
around
the
country,
everybody
looks
at
pittsburgh
and
says
my
gosh
this
city,
the
renaissance
of
the
city,
is
just
incredible:
we're
a
model
for
the
rest
of
the
country.
D
Without
any
exaggeration,
we
see
this
when
we
talk
to
the
ceos
of
companies
to
city
leaders
to
people
across
the
country,
including
people
in
washington,
but,
as
pat
said,
the
prosperity
that
pittsburgh
has
enjoyed
over
the
last
25
years,
and
this
renaissance
and
rise
of
pittsburgh
has
not
been
proportionately
shared
by
all
communities
within
pittsburgh.
And,
let's
be
really
candid
about
this,
especially
the
underserved
community,
especially
the
black
and
african-american
communities
in
pittsburgh,
have
not
proportionally
benefited
from
the
renaissance
of
pittsford
universities,
including
all
on
this
call,
have
contributed
significantly
to
this
renaissance.
D
So
I
think
what
pat
is
saying-
and
it's
it's
echoes
with
me
very
much-
is
we
view
this
as
our
moral
responsibility
to
rise
to
the
occasion
and
ensure
that
prosperity
is
shared.
So
with
that
introduction
a
couple
of
thoughts
about
this?
If
you
look
at
what
universities
do,
we
do
education
and
research
for
business
for
our
essentially
core
missions
of
our
our
universities
in
terms
of
education,
it
becomes
about
access
providing
access
to
all
members
of
the
community,
especially
kids,
who
come
from
our
public
schools
when
it
comes
to
our
research.
D
Our
mission
is
creating
knowledge
and
benefiting
society,
and
we
in
fact
look
at
pittsburgh
and
there
are
many
examples
of
that,
including
the
work.
For
example,
my
colleague
elon
erbach
does,
with
public
health
and
with
air
quality
and
so
on.
How
do
we
bring
our
knowledge
and
know-how
to
benefit
our
own
neighborhood?
So
that's
another
element
of
it,
but
increasingly
universities
over
the
last
decade
or
two
have
been
playing
a
catalytic
role
all
around
the
country,
certainly
in
pittsburgh,
in
economic
development.
D
So
the
question
is:
can
we
create
more
jobs
in
the
city
and
can
the
job
go
to
all
members
of
our
community?
Can
the
underserved
community
benefit
from
the
jobs
that
we
create
the
last
one
that
I
want
to
add,
and
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
the
rest
of
my
colleague
is:
I
refer
to
it
as
shared
prosperity,
so
we
all
know
that,
for
example,
I'll
just
like
on
carnegie
mellon
carnegie
mellon
has
been
with
a
number
of
other
universities
contributed
to
this
health
and
med
and
technology
and
education
economy
that
we've
created.
D
We
know
many
benef
neighborhoods
have
benefited
from
it.
The
question
is:
can
we
create
that
shared
prosperity
across
the
board
and
we're
doing
a
bunch
of
things?
Pat
has
mentioned
all
some
of
those
already
for
us.
We
made
a
commitment,
in
fact,
to
look
at
our
admissions
and
look
at
our
pipelines
into
our
programs.
Can
we
get
more
of
our
own
local
community
members
into
our
academic
institution
in
terms
of
I'll
just
use
a
couple
of
very
quick
examples.
D
D
The
question
is:
can
we
have
a
more
accessible
business
for
pittsburgh
communities,
especially
underserved
communities,
minority-owned,
community
businesses
and
women-owned
businesses
be
very
intentional
about
it
and
give
them
more
access
to
essentially
the
businesses
that
we
generate
for
the
city.
Another
example
of
that
is,
we
do
massive
amount
of
construction
if
you've,
driven
through
oakland
you've
seen
this.
I
have
essentially
instructed
our
colleagues
to
look
at
this
and
see.
Are
there
minority-owned
businesses
women-owned
businesses
that
are
in
engineering
in
architecture
in
various
kinds
of
construction,
so
that
we
can
do
business?
D
B
Feingold,
I
am,
I
live
walking
distance
from
your
campus.
As
you
know,
walk
past
there,
it's
one
of
my
favorite
places
to
take
visitors.
I
drive
through
your
campus
and
show
them
the
old
mansion
surrounding
it.
It's
a
hidden
gem
in
our
city.
What's
your
what's
your
view
kind
of
of
of
this
issue
of
how
the
universities
can
can
be
supportive
of
the
enrichment
and
the
vitality
of
black
community
in
pittsburgh?.
E
Thank
you,
reverend
burgess
and
we're
delighted.
One
thing
we
are
hoping
to
banish
from
the
lexicon
is
hidden
gem,
because
there
are
just
way
too
many
people
who
have
never
experienced
chatham,
even
though
we've
been
here
for
151
years
and
as
dr
wallace
at
pitt
says
it's
like
vermont
in
the
middle
of
pittsburgh.
It
really
is
a
is
a
treasure
and
we
want
more
people
to
experience
it.
I
I
would
echo
everything
that
pat
and
farnam
said.
E
I
think
we
all
share
those
missions,
but
chatham
is
an
institution,
that's
really
deeply
rooted
in
pittsburgh
and
we
feel
very
committed
because
of
our
mission,
but
also
our
location,
so
we're
immediately
adjacent
to
larimer,
to
homewood
to
wilkinsburg
and
so
partnering
with
them.
It's
not
just
about
mission,
but
it
helps
us
because
all
of
the
boats
will
rise,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
mention.
You
know
we're
a
smaller
institution,
but
but
we
really
try
to
punch
above
our
weight,
just
some
very
concrete
ways.
We
think
we're
helping
one
everybody
can
see.
E
We
had
the
biggest
football
game
in
the
region
at
graham
field
on
last
friday,
central
catholic
versus
north
allegheny.
We
partnered
with
wilkinsburg
to
take
a
field
that
had
been
lying
in
waste
after
they
had
merged
with
westinghouse,
and
now
it's
a
beautiful,
state-of-the-art
turf
field.
It's
a
home
for
amani
christian
to
play
for
the
youth
peewee
football
to
play
and
we're
really
excited
to
be
part
of
revitalizing
wilkinsburg.
E
We
partner
with
the
food
bank
to
grow
food.
It's
it's
a
tragedy
that
we
still
have
people
going
to
bed
hungry
every
every
day
in
pittsburgh,
we're
growing
at
our
eden
hall
campus,
a
real
leading
model
for
sustainability,
we're
growing
food
and
helping
them
qualify
for
additional
federal
assistance,
because
the
food
bank
is
now
also
considered
a
farm.
Our
counseling
psych
program
is
working
to
provide
trauma,
informed
care
in
our
most
hard-hit
neighborhoods
across
the
city,
in
the
north
side,
partnering
with
upmc
and
with
allegheny
health.
E
To
do
it,
and
our
center
for
women's
entrepreneurship
was
recently
voted
the
number
one
women's
business
center
in
the
country
because
of
the
work
it's
doing
with
underserved
communities,
both
women
and
minority
entrepreneurs
to
help
grow
businesses
here
locally.
Just
as
a
final
one,
I'd
mention,
we
were
delighted
when
the
mayor
picked.
Dr
jesse
ramey
to
be
the
chair
of
the
gender
equity
council.
E
That's
looking
at
the
intersection
of
of
the
inequities
we
see
in
gender
and
race
in
pittsburgh
and
the
way
those
are
coming
together,
particularly
with
the
health
inequities
we
see,
and
so
she
is
providing
leadership
across
the
city
to
try
to
help
us
address
these
issues.
So
thanks
so
much
for
including
us
in
the
conversation.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
I'm
going
to
switch
over
to
president
gormley
again,
and
you
saw
me
shaking
my
head
about
the
field,
I'm
a
proud
central
catholic
alum
and
we
lost
that
game.
So
that's
why
you
saw
me
shaking
my
head
in
the
background
right,
ms
stormy,
who
some
of
my
my
my
money
goes
to
tuitions
of
of
two
two
active
students
over
there
at
duquesne.
B
F
Well,
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you,
reverend,
burgess
and
also
councilman
laval.
We've
had
wonderful
relationships
with
both
of
you
and
we
appreciate
your
leadership
in
our
community.
You
are
our
leaders
and,
and
you've
done
a
lot
for
us,
as
you
know,
reverend
burgess.
Since
so
much
of
your
you
know,
income
has
gone
to
tuition.
To
do
so,
we
were
founded
in
the
1870s
by
these
missionary
priests
who
came
over
to
help
recent
immigrants
working
in
the
steel
mills
and
factories.
F
You
you
had
mentioned
in
your
opening
the
power
of
education.
It
was
to
get
education
in
order
to
rise
up,
and
I
always
say
that
duquesne
helped
to
build
pittsburgh
as
a
result
of
that
what
we
had
in
our
early
class
because
of
our
mission,
black
students,
jewish
students,
women
in
the
early
1900s,
when
that
was
very
uncommon.
It
is
part
of
our
fabric,
and
so
we
have
so
many
partnerships,
it's
hard
to
separate
them
from
our
identity.
F
You
know
the
pharmacy
in
the
hill
district,
where
we
continue
to
now
partner
with
upmc
and
provide
services
there.
The
august
wilson
house,
partnership
yeah.
We
were
involved
in
that.
Our
students,
at
from
ground,
up
with
paul
ellis
working
on
that
the
citizen
science
lab
that
my
vp
for
community
engagement,
bill
generette,
was
involved
in
and
also
the
energy
innovation
center
there
in
the
old
conley
vote
tech
building,
the
small
business
development
center.
The
law
clinic,
I
know,
worked
with
some
of
you.
F
I
think
councilman
laval
worked
on
some
ordinances
and,
and
you
know
really
helping,
but
I
I
want
to
point
out.
As
david
feingold
mentioned,
this
has
enriched
us.
It
has
enriched
our
students,
it
has
enriched
our
faculty,
it
has
created
great
initiatives
and
partnerships.
F
We
have
dr
jen
elliott,
working
in
hazlewood
with
childhood
asthma
and
and
working
with
federally
qualified
health
centers
and
now
we're
looking
to
build,
as
you
know,
a
new
osteopathic
medical
school
right
down
there
across
from
the
upmc
cooper,
chuck
cooper
field
house
named
after
duquesne,
great
chuck
cooper,
who
became
the
first
black
to
be
a
member
of
the
mba
in
the
early
1950s,
and
so
we're
hoping
that
college
of
medicine
will
provide
even
greater
opportunities
to
work
with
the
community
and
uptown
and
the
hill
district
and
the
city
more
broadly.
B
Dr
howard
has
both
a
university
president
and
you
know
one
of
the
first
african-american
university
presence
in
our
region.
I
think
you
have
a
unique
perspective
on
both
what
the
with
the
college
institution
university
institution
can
do
and
but
then
you
know
you
feel.
As
I
know
personally,
you
feel
very
deeply
about
black
leadership
and
leadership
in
terms
of
the
african-american
community.
So
can
you
kind
of
help
us
think
about
university
partnerships
with
communities
and
how
we
can
build
both
black
communities
and
black
people
and,
using
you
know,
the
engine
of
the
university.
G
Thank
you
very
much
councilman
burgess
and
councilman
lavelle.
I
I
share
my
colleague
sentiment
and
it's
100
percent,
true
that
we
are
enriched
by
these
relationships
and
I
I
just
echo
so
much
of
what
they
said.
Taking
a
note
from
ken
gormley's
book
a
little
bit
about
our
origin
story,
kind
of
a
superhero
origin
story
we
started
in
1921
is
the
pittsburgh
school
of
accountancy
in
the
william
penn
hotel,
teaching,
accountants
and
secretaries,
how
they
could
get
into
the
professional
world
and
people
always
say
bobby
mo
means
business.
G
I
like
to
say:
robert
morris
university
now
means
the
professions
and
so
we're
very
diligent,
especially
including
black
people,
ensuring
they
get
to
the
professions.
All
of
you
all.
The
pittsburghers
have
someone
in
your
background
who
went
to
night
school
at
bobby
moe
and
then
went
on
to
work
at
one
of
our
great
companies,
ppg
or
pnc
or
u.s.
Still
we
do
that
continuously.
Now
less
so
you
know,
we
don't
have
the
downtown
campus
now,
but
we
do
it
doing
online
and
our
in
our
students
to
come
across
a
bridge.
G
Pittsburghers
will
cross
a
bridge
and
will
come
out
to
the
west
near
the
airport,
to
the
university
corridor
to
take
classes
and
to
excel.
But
let
me
zero
on
something
I
think
it's
kind
of
unique
about
robert
morris
that
builds
to
the
tapestry
and
the
whole
ecosystem.
I
think
the
chancellor
that
pat
gallagher
alluded
to
in
terms
of
us
and
barnum
about
how
we
all
kind
of
work
together.
So
I
think
about
pipelines
and
capacity
and
I'll
just
give
a
couple
of
examples.
G
So
number
one-
and
this
started
on
duquesne's
campus-
was
the
black
men's
leadership
and
development
institute
black
male
leadership
development
institute.
They
came
shortly
thereafter
to
robert
morris
university.
It's
a
partnership
with
esther
bush
and
the
urban
league,
and
we
have
90
to
100
black
young
men.
Ninth
grade
through
12th
grade
going
through
a
year-long
program,
looks
a
lot
like
morehouse
college's
pre-college
program
where
they
spent
about
a
week
on
our
campus,
seeing
themselves
in
a
college
setting
and
learning
about
leadership,
development,
character,
career
opportunities,
etc,
and
we
like
to
do
it.
G
They
show
up
those
men
when
they
show
up
they
virtually
see.
For
the
week.
People
only
people
that
look
like
them
and
it's
very
affirming
for
a
black
man
from
from
pittsburgh
or
environment,
to
see
professional
black
men
doing
that,
and
then
they
have
a
year-long
curriculum
where
they
meet
on
various
week.
Nights
and
weekends,
culminating
in
a
right
of
rights
and
passive
event,
usually
held
at
the
august
wilson
center,
where
they
have
stepped
up
into
being
african
american
men
from
various
backgrounds.
So
we're
happy
to
be
a
part
of
that
pipeline.
G
That
capacity
building
two
other
quick
examples,
I
think
maybe
was
ken-
did
mention
the
eic,
the
energy
innovation
center.
We
have
a
3d
printing
facility
training
program
in
that
building
it
right
across
from
ppg
the
old
vocational
education
building
and
we're
putting
through
people,
particularly
in
the
pittsburgh
community,
through
this
training
to
get
these
great
jobs
very
high,
paying
jobs
in
3d
manufacturing
which
are
not
going
anywhere
they're.
If
you
go
in
the
one
ads
or
look
online,
monsters.com,
there's
a
great
opportunities
and
then
those
are
careers.
G
You
can
start
congressman,
I'm
sorry,
council,
ben
burgess
and
labelle.
You
can
start
there
and
move
up,
get
additional
associate
degrees
in
places
like
with
quentin
bullock
over
there
and
ccac
work,
their
way
up
to
get
masters
and
other
opportunities
just
kind
of
skill
up,
so
we're
very
proud
and
our
students
and
our
faculty
and
our
staff
are
all
involved.
Lastly,
I'm
going
to
mention
you
know:
there's
some
kaplan
universities
around
here,
but
we
got
a
saint.
Her
name
is
saint
peggy,
and
many
of
you
know
her
and
have
worked
with
her.
G
So
peggy
has
been
running
for
20
years
at
bear
center
for
non-profit
leadership,
and
now
we
have
the
conventional
center
for
community
engagement
and
just
like
the
name
into
mage.
We're
helping
nonprofits
over
a
thousand
in
western
pennsylvania,
grow
capacity
to
excel
and
to
provide
opportunity
access.
And
what
have
you
and
we're
very
proud,
especially
during
colby
19,
to
do
so
much
for
the
pittsburgh
community
and
growing
capacity
for
these
nonprofits.
G
So
there's
a
couple
of
examples
where
we
can
be
in
pittsburgh
in
ways
that
are
a
little
bit
different
than
my
colleagues
who
are
right
there
in
downtown
or
what
have
you
or
right
there
in
oakland
or
what
have
you
but
we're
you
know
our
mu
is
is
always
heart
and
soul
is
always
right
right
down
in
pittsburgh.
B
And
so
I
I
I
on
purpose,
saved
dr
bullock
for
last
there's
a
couple
of
things
about
the
community
college
in
pittsburgh.
First
of
all,
last
time
I
saw
the
numbers
that
may
be
higher
now
that
40
percent
of
every
black
person
in
allegheny
county
who
goes
to
college
goes
to
ccac
or
has
a
ccac
experience
and
number
two.
B
For
many
many
years,
ccac
has
had
a
campus
in
homewood,
which
we
believe
is
the
only
african-american
college
campus
west
of
philadelphia,
and
so
dr
bullock,
if
you
would
talk
a
little
bit
about
cca's
c's
role
in
empowering
both
black
students
and
the
black
community.
H
Well,
thank
you
both
councilman
lavelle
and
councilman
burgess,
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
the
group
tonight,
and
you
are
correct
about
the
percentage
of
persons
in
pittsburgh
that
have
taken
at
least
one
or
two
classes
to
the
community
college,
to
either
prepare
for
transfer
to
upscale
or
to
begin
their
studies
toward
a
degree
or
career
preparation.
H
We
are
very
committed
with
the
community
and
we
do
our
very
best
to
be
engaged
in
various
conversations
and
planning
components
to
speak
closely
with
business
and
industry
to
help
us
design,
careers
and
programs
that
are
specific
to
the
needs
within
our
region.
And
then
we
take
the
information
and
we
engage
members
of
the
community,
specifically
individuals
who
are
seeking
opportunities
for
employment
or
preparing
for
a
career
via
high
school
by
making
them
aware
of
the
opportunities
and
then
either
partnering
with
them
or
providing
them
with
the
preparatory
tools
to
begin
their
studies.
H
We've
made
major
investments
by
identifying
positions
that
specifically
go
out
in
the
community.
The
example
is
the
executive
director
for
community
partnerships
and
external
affairs
and
his
role,
which
happens
to
be
a
completer
of
the
leadership
program
that
dr
howard
just
spoke
about.
He
serves
as
a
positive
role
model
to
our
youth
because
they
are
relatable.
He
can
relate
and
share
information.
H
They
see
his
success.
He's
a
young
young
man
he's
earnest
doctor
and
he
came
from
similar
background
and
still
and
by
seeing
his
success
and
his
ability
to
help
them
understand
the
value
of
education
and
what
you
need
to
do
to
engage.
It
has
created
that
momentum
and
an
excitement
to
want
to
pursue
careers.
H
We
partner
with
foundations
to
put
forth
grant
dollars.
Example
in
hollywood,
the
community,
empowerment
association,
where
we've
done
several
initiatives
there,
where
they
do
the
wraparound
services
system,
with
the
housing,
transportation
day,
care
social
challenges,
mental
health
and
once
that's
completed,
they
then
take
classes
to
ccac
and
we've
had
tremendous
success
with
that
initiatives
and
we've
had
two
rounds
of
funding
with
a
hundred
percent
close
to
100
on
placements
in
each
one
of
those
fields,
which
has
been
a
great
success.
H
Summer
experiences
connect
them
with
the
learn
and
earn
get
them
engaged
with
business
industry
so
that
they
too
can
get
on
a
pathway
to
the
community
college
and
then
transfer
into
four-year
or
go
directly
into
work.
We
recognize
that
the
work
that
we
do
at
our
west
hills
center
is
a
great
facility.
H
A
So,
thank
you,
dr
bullock,
for
sharing
those
examples,
and
thank
you
all
for
the
wonderful
examples
you
all
shared.
I
do
have
a
question,
though,
that
the
sort
of
maybe,
despite
the
efforts
of
ccac
and
or
any
other
university,
I
don't
know
the
exact
statistics
for
all
the
universities.
So
I'll
tell
you
that
off
hand,
but
from
what
I
can
gather.
A
A
Some
of
the
students
came
together
to
say,
hey,
let's
try
to
get,
I
think
a
percentage
point
up
every
single
year
for
the
next
few
years
until
we
can
get
to
10,
but
I'm
just
curious
and
and
dr
jahanian
also
spoke
about
having
access
to
universities,
and
maybe
that's
in
programs
that
work
with
high
school
students
before
we
get
there.
But
I
do
have
a
strong
sense
that
we're
losing
a
lot
of
our
black
youth
here
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
that
are
not
furthering
their
education.
H
I'll
start,
I
think,
there's
value
in
having
mentorships
and
persons
that
our
members
of
the
african-american
community
can
relate
to
can
see
and
can
have
that
informal
conversation
with
if
you
take
100
black
men,
that's
a
very
important
organization
that
meets
at
ccac
on
the
weekend.
That
brings
in
50
to
100
african-american
males
throughout
the
year
and
engage
them
in
positive
initiatives.
H
Each
year
we
struggle
to
get
more
and
more
to
keep
that
number
where
we
want,
but
that
learning
earn
engages
them
in
a
very
positive
professional
environment
where
they
are
meeting
other
persons
learning
about
careers,
demonstrating
skills,
learning
new
skills,
helping
them
see.
What
is
my
next
step
beyond
high
school,
to
get
prepared
to
go
into
college
or
to
a
career
and
then
make
them
aware
of
all
of
the
options
that
they
have,
because
perhaps
they
are
the
first
college
generation.
They
don't
understand
what
college
is
and
all
the
different
options
that
are
here.
H
I
think
the
more
we
can
do
to
engage
and
connect
those
dots.
I
think
we
can
steadily
move
forward.
I
will
say
that
ccac's
allegheny
campus
is
one
of
the
most
diverse
colleges
in
the
area
we
have
about
27
percent
of
african-american,
which
is
pretty
significant,
so
it
does
show
that
we
do
attract
a
large
percentage
of
african-americans
through
the
community
college
doors
and
then
it's
our
goal
to
help
them
get
out,
go
into
the
workplace
or
transfer
it
to
a
four-year
college
university.
C
Yeah
counselor.
Well,
I
was
let
me
just
say
I
I
think
this
is
an
area
of
sort
of
constant
effort
on
the
part
of
universities
to
really
make
sure
that
those
barriers
to
entry
are
are
not
biased
and
skewed
by
race
and
other
criteria.
So
this
has
been
an
area
of
focus
for
pitt
for
quite
a
while,
and
you
know
so.
Let
me
just
count.
The
actual.
The
enrollment
by
black
students
at
pitt
has
actually
grown
every
year
since
I've
been
here,
so
the
trend
is
actually
positive.
C
It's
just
not
as
fast
as
students
would
like
to
see
to
gain
representational
kind
of
you
know,
demographic
representation
in
our
overall
student
body,
and
I
I
kind
of
share
their
impatience.
You
know
it's
and
I
think
what
happens
is
there's
some
excuse
making
right.
We
argue.
Well,
you
know
it's.
It's
western
pennsylvania,
demographics
and
I,
I
think,
look
as
pit
becomes
a
more
of
a
national
university.
C
We
we
really
don't
have
any
reason
not
to
be
attracting
the
best
students
from
all
over
the
country
and
and
the
demographics
here
should
show
that.
So
I
I
do
think
this
is
an
area
where
we
can
do
better.
C
So
it's
our
black
students
who
are
saying
well,
look,
that's
great,
that
you're
recruiting
more
of
us,
but
we
don't
see
faculty
that
look
like
us
and
so
really
now
we're
looking
at
our
faculty
recruiting,
which
is
really
has
not
had
that
year-over-year
gain
and
it's
it's
half
of
the
representation
we
see
among
the
students
same
with
staff,
hiring
that
you
know
we're
not
hiring
from
the
our
our
community
for
staff
positions,
and
so
those
are
all
important
trends,
and
I
think
you
know
it's
also
has
to
move
beyond
just
the
recruiting,
and
this
is
where
you
know
you
know:
clyde
wilson,
pickett
who's.
C
You
know
on
watching
the
the
show
here
the
call
you
know
once
you're
recruited
to
the
university
of
pittsburgh.
You
have
to
feel
like
you
belong,
and
this
has
to
be
a
place
where
you
can
thrive
and
where
the
conditions
are
ones,
where
you're
going
to
grow
and
be
supported
and
be
appreciated
and
be
recognized,
and
we
are,
you
know,
finding
lots
of
opportunity
to
improve
in
those
areas
as
well,
so
with
with
any
one
area.
C
What
you
find
is
that
you
know
it
uncovers
these
barriers
that
you
know
we
have
not
been
as
attentive
to
as
we
need
to,
and
I
think
that's
really
what
this
moment
is
about.
You
know
this
is
about
systemic
racism.
This
is
about
the
institutional
barriers
that
are
sitting
there
and
the
ones
that
can
be
propagated
by
indifference,
not
even
hatred
right,
so
it
can
just
be
inattentiveness
to
these
things.
C
So
you
know
we're
happy
that
we've
been
improving,
I'm
proud
to
say
we
haven't
been
going
the
other
direction,
but
I
will
say
it's
not
good
enough
and-
and
we
have
to
do
more.
D
If
I
can
chime
in
you
know
the
issue
that
you
raised
councilman
val,
I
think
it's
it's
actually
a
national
crisis
and
the
way
I
think
about
it.
It
really
there's
the
way
to
frame.
It
is
to
think
about
three
issues:
the
issue
of
pipeline,
the
issue
of
access
and
then
success.
D
When
I
talk
about
pipeline
is
there
is
the
issue
that
you
raised.
We
need
to
have
programs
such
that
these
kids,
who
are
in
middle
school
and
high
school,
get
them
ready
for
college
case
in
point,
carnegie
mellon
launched
something-
and
I
know
reverend
burgess
is
familiar
with
this.
Oh
a
couple
of
decades
ago
called
the
sam's
program,
which
is
about
science
and
mathematics,
and
so
on
and
every
summer,
with
the
exception
of
last
summer,
because
of
covet
we
recruit
about,
we
bring
in
it's
a
very
competitive
program.
D
We
bring
in
about
150,
100
and
350
kids,
mostly
from
underserved
communities.
We
pay
for
everything
they
stay
on
campus.
We
feed
them,
we
house
them,
they
get
fabulous
instruction
during
their
junior
year
or
high
school,
and
then
they
apply
to
college
turns
out.
They
come
from
all
over
the
country
and
by
the
way,
one
of
the
commitments
that
our
provost
made
is
that
we
want
to
double
down
and
make
sure
more
pittsburgh
kids
get
into
that
program.
D
This
program
has
more
than
a
96
success
rate
for
those
kids
who
end
up
going
to
college
and
by
the
way
they
don't
all
come
to
cmu
they
go
to
pitt.
They
go
to
the
university
of
maryland.
They
go
to
ohio
state,
they
go
all
over
the
place,
but
96
percent
of
them
go
to
college
and
finish
so.
You
got
to
invest
in
the
pipeline.
I'll,
be
very
brief
about
this
issue.
D
D
You
think
carnegie
mellon
is
a
rich
university,
but
we
have
kids
who
have
food
insecurity,
so
you've
got
to
invest
in
their
success,
not
only
by
giving
them
access
but
make
sure
the
conditions
are
right
for
them
when
they
come
in.
So
access
is
important
and
one
of
the
programs
we
launched
just
last
year
called
the
tartan
scholars
with
a
lot
of
support
from
some
of
our
sponsors.
D
D
To
me,
it's
not
the
percentage
of
students
of
color
who
get
admitted
to
carnegie
mellon
to
me,
it's
the
outcome.
What
percentage
of
those
kids
finish
in
four
or
five
years?
What
percentage
of
those
kids
get
plum?
Internships
that
kids,
who
are
more
privileged
background,
get
them?
What
percentage
of
those
kids
get
those
jobs
that
the
rest
of
cmu
students
get?
So
what
we're
investing
is
is
in
their
success.
This
is
hard
work
folks,
but
I
know
many
of
my
colleagues
here
do
the
same
thing.
D
I'll
just
be
very
quick
about
this,
so
with
the
tartan
scholars
we
doubled
the
size
of
it
and
what
we're
doing
with
them
is
that
when
they
come
in
there's
a
cohort
that
starts
together,
we
provide
all
sorts
of
support
case
in
point.
These
kids
are
really
really
smart,
but
if
they
didn't
go
to
a
private
school
or
a
school
that
has
given
them
all
sorts
of
aep
classes,
they
start
at
a
disadvantage.
D
The
final
point
I
want
to
make
is
that,
while
we've
made
a
lot
of
progress,
cmu
actually
has
made
a
lot
more
progress
in
the
graduate
program
and
phd
with
the
student
african-american
students
partially
because
of
our
gem
program,
which
is
a
national
program
for
minority
students,
much
credit
to
the
leadership
of
sean
blanton
who's,
not
our
faculty,
and
he
just
shared
with
me
this
data
that
in
2020
we
have
hundred
and
twenty
one
underrepresented,
kids,
who
are
getting
masters
and
phds
from
carnegie
mellon
and
for
all
of
those
kids.
D
F
If
I
could
just
jump
in
councilman
level,
because
it's
a
really
interesting
and
important
question,
I
just
want
to
build
on
one
little
thing
that
farnam
said
so
yeah.
I
grew
up
in
swissvale.
I
know
many
of
the
kids.
I
grew
up
with
never
had
a
chance
to
go
to
college
and
still
haven't
and
they
are
talented,
smart
and
so
the
one
of
the
big
barriers
is
obviously
finances.
F
You
have
very
talented
young
men
and
women
who,
but
for
finances,
would
be
able
to
change
their
lives
with
an
education.
So
this
is
at
the
kind
of
micro
level,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
very
consciously
focus
on
getting
special
scholarships
to
allow
that
talent
to
come
to
our
school.
So
my
wife
laura
and
I,
for
instance,
I
just
was
reviewing
the
little
copy
of
it.
F
Yesterday
we
have
a
little
scholarship
for
students
at
woodland
hills
high
school
to
come
to
duquesne,
because
all
of
our
four
kids
have
gone
to
woodland
hills
and
it's
been
real.
You
know
students
of
color,
it's
been
wonderfully
successful,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I've
been
doing,
because
I
you
know,
as
farnam
said
it's
not
just
the
tuition,
it's
being
able
to
live
on
campus
and
pay
for
dormitories,
it's
being
able
to
pay
for
for
food,
and
so
we
have
actually
been
working
with
donors.
F
You
know,
presidents
have
an
opportunity
to
shape
how
money
is
used
from
people
who
have
the
the
blessing
of
having
a
lot
of
resources,
and
we
have
increasingly
gone
around
the
country
to
our
alums
and
said
hey
what
about
thinking
about
if
you're
going
to
give
money
to
duquesne
a
scholarship
for
students
of
color,
whether
it's
in
sciences
we're
working
on
this
new
college
of
medicine
and
we're
already
looking
at
creating
scholarships
for
students
of
color
from
our
community
to
be
able
to
come
there?
F
It's
a
very
you
know,
it's
a
very
intentional
sort
of
thing.
It
takes
time,
but
I
think
if
we
challenge
ourselves-
and
you
know
one
person
at
a
time
open
up
the
doors
and
give
them
that
opportunity
and,
as
farnam
said,
provide
academic
support
along
the
way,
because
sometimes
that
is
also
a
very
important
piece
of
the
formula.
F
I
You
know,
making
sure
that
those
students
are
prepared,
for
you,
know
our
health
care
programs,
the
health
care
programs
and
other
colleges
and
universities,
and
then
our
medical
school,
but
that's
an
incredible
program
that
was
started
by
a
guy,
andre
samuels,
who
happened
to
be
happens
to
be
a
duquesne
grad
duquesne,
you
know
was
one
of
the
lead
partners,
but
we're
really
looking
to
work
to
see
how
we
can
you
know
partner,
better
with
programs
like
that,
I
mean,
like
dr
block
said,
you
know,
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
do
with
universities
is
partner
better
with
you
know
some
of
these
great
programs
that
are
that
are
they're
existing
and
for
us,
the
citizen
science
lab
is
one
of
those.
E
E
But
one
of
the
huge
benefits
that
we
have
here
in
pittsburgh
is
the
pittsburgh
promise
and
to
me
one
of
the
saddest
things
we
get
is
when
we
have
this
great
benefit,
which
can
make
college
affordable
and
yet
still
not
enough
of
our
students
are
completing
and
graduating
from
high
school
to
qualify,
and
so
a
concerted
effort
from
all
of
us.
For
that,
I
think,
can
make
a
huge
difference.
The
other
thing
just
building
on
what
bill
shared
about
the
health
professions.
E
These
are
the
real
new
backbones
of
the
health
care
system
and
not
we're
just
not
getting
a
diverse
applicant
pool
for
those
things,
because
I
think
there's
not
an
awareness
back
in
middle
school
in
high
school
that
these
professions
exist,
and
so
we
want
to
expose
more
people
early
to
it
and
seek
just,
as
ken
said,
seek
scholarship
support.
So
we
can
not
just
cover
their
costs
of
undergraduate
education,
but
try
to
make
it
free
for
them
to
go
to
graduate
school
as
well
and
then
go
out
and
get
these
jobs
because
they
have.
E
G
G
And
do
the
offering
as
well
for
good
causes.
So
I'll
I'll.
Be
brief,
because
so
much
said
it's
been
said
so
eloquently
and
thoughtfully.
I
would
rewind
the
tape
a
little
bit
and
say:
the
idea
of
mindset
is
not
just
a
student,
but
it's
the
parent,
the
guardians,
the
families
as
well
and
when.
G
Grain
purple
rich
poor,
what
it
doesn't
matter.
This
is
a
way
where
we
put
into
actually
a
book
a
set
of
modules
when
people
come
to
visit
the
campus,
we
walk
them
through
this.
It
is
an
education
on
how
to
finance
your
college.
Experience
dave
mentioned
fia.
They
feingold
it
challenge,
mentioned
fia
and
pell
the
number
of
students
that
don't
apply
for
those
things
they're
eligible
for
them.
It's
it's
it's
maddening,
sometimes
because
we
know
we
lose
them
because
they
run
out
of
money,
but
they
haven't
tapped
all
the
money.
G
G
The
second
thing
I
was
going
to
mention
in
in
terms
of
the
affordability
piece
and
graduation
piece
is
technology
and
analytics
so
having
these
sophisticated
teammates
of
mine
on
this
call
is
very,
very
appropriate
because
we
got
together
with
eab
and
we
working
with
a
suite
of
predictive
analytics
technology,
something
that
was
probably
drummed
up
in
one
of
cmu's
labs
and
we're
really
working
with
the
hillman
foundation,
with
a
pretty
significant
grant.
G
We
can
affect
change
and
we're
happy
to
say
that
our
first
year
retention
rates,
the
highest
has
ever
been,
and
part
of
that
is
because,
even
if
you
don't
have
as
many
resources
as
some
other
schools
you
can
use,
you
can
work
really
really
smart
and
work
really
really
hard
and
you
can
really
be
very
directed.
Ensuring
you're
gonna
get
the
outcomes.
You
need.
The
last.
G
G
As
my
colleagues
have
mentioned,
I
love
what
ken's
going
out
there
pounding
the
pavement
everybody's
out
there
trying
to
raise
dollars,
but
income
share
agreements
are
not
perfect,
but
they're,
another
mechanism
to
get
resources
in
people's
pockets
to
graduate
we're
linking
up
with
the
professional
business
world
to
provide
mentors
and
internships
tied
to
the
isa
so
that
the
students
like
dave,
was
saying
about
people
going
into
health
care.
They
have
a
connection
to
the
profession
beyond.
A
So
I
want
to
connect
a
couple
things
I
heard
one.
I
heard
dr
feingold
talk
about
finances
talk
about
jobs.
A
On
the
back
end,
I
heard
dr
gormley
talk
about
how
we
choose
to
use
our
money
right
and
many
of
the
children
that
we're
speaking
about
trying
to
get
into
the
system
are
also
coming
out
of
communities
of
poverty
and
unfortunately,
as
reports
have
come
out
and
demonstrated,
this
is
one
of
the
most
impoverished
cities
in
america
of
african
americans
and
both
reverend
burgess
and
myself
have
also
spent
a
considerable
amount
of
time
working
on
issues
around
mwbe
and
business
operations
and
strengthening
the
business
community,
so
that
we
strengthen
the
economics
within
our
community,
and
I
believe
that
also
has
an
impact
on
education.
G
Can
I
take
that
one
first
council,
council
burke,
thank
you
for
the
question.
It
is
critically
important
to
think
about
businesses,
small
medium
and
larger,
that
are
run
by
black
people,
people
of
color
to
create
wealth
and
economic
opportunity
in
whatever
community,
wherever
they,
wherever
they
may
live
from
a
quantitative
standpoint.
I'll
start
with
that
and
I'll
talk
about
mindset
and
kind
of
a
breakthrough
we
had
recently.
G
G
Project
between
the
couple
of
buildings
that
were
involved
and
about
8.5
of
the
spin
was
women
in
minority
owned
businesses.
We're
very
pleased
with
that.
We
benchmark
universities
in
the
region,
colleges
in
the
region
and
the.
C
G
For
a
product
like
that
might
be
five
percent,
three
percent,
we're
about
eight
point:
five
percent
councilman
lavell
and
we're
very
we're
very
proud
of
that,
but
that
that's
not
enough!
You
might
hear
a
guy
named
john
rogers
who's,
a
very
thoughtful
african-american,
civic
and
business
leader
out
of
chicago-
and
he
says
you
know
when
you
think
black
business,
you
think
about
facilities,
maintenance,
janitorial
services,
what
have
you
which
are
fine?

so
we
can
both
claim
her.
We
have
a
great
conversation
on
on
because
because
I.
G
A
lawyer,
no
offense
ken
that
didn't
want
to
go
out
and
hire
another
lawyer
to
give
them
advice.
It
seems
like
it
happens
all
the
time
and
you
find
yourself
going
back
to
the
same
firms.
Why?
Because
they
know
your
institution
and
they
have
institutional
knowledge
and
risk
is
high.
So
what
happened
and
what
renee
said
to
me
was.
G
I
know
I
get
into
this
sort
of
virtuous
cycle
for
those
groups,
those
firms,
but
not
for
other
firms
that
come
in
same
with
accounting,
who
wants
to
go
out
in
that
risk,
limb
for
a
firm
that
could
cost
you
at
an
existential
risk.
So
we
made
a
decision
as
a
university,
we're
not
perfect,
but
we
made
a
decision
to
be
very,
very
deliberate
in
reaching
out
to
these
law
firms,
these
accounting
firms.
And
what
have
you
and
having
these
conversations?
G
I
can't
say
that
we
moved
in,
like
pat
said,
we're
we're
we're
impatient
we're
not
moving
the
numbers
fast
as
much
as
we
want
to,
but
we
are
providing
business
opportunities
for
some
of
these
folks,
even
as
we
direct
them
to
other
people
and
we're
looking
to
make
a
big
deal
with
ourselves
as
well.
So
I'll
stop
there
and
I
think
it's
a
very,
very
appropriate
question.
C
Councilman,
let
me
let
me
add,
because
I
think
it
is
a
great
question.
I
I
want
to
sort
of
nod
to
what
chris
just
said
that
you
have
to
do
this
with
real
intent.
You
know
one
of
the
things
we've
been
trying
to
do
is
there's
always
this
vicious
problem
that
happens
with
business
relationships.
Is
you
get
comfortable
and
you
end
up
doing
sort
of
this
cohort
hiring
where
you
always
go
back
to
the
same
firms
you've
done
before
and
before
you
know
it
you're
kind
of
amazed
that
there's
no
minority-owned
businesses?
C
Well,
you
never
gave
them
an
opportunity
to
grow.
So
I
think
you
have
to
create
the
conditions
for
that,
and-
and
that
means
you
have
to
approach
your
business
relations
and
your
procurement
activities
in
a
fundamentally
different
way.
By
seeking
to
create
opportunities
and
and
to
be
perfectly
honest,
that's
a
mixture
of
carrot
and
stick
to
the
organization.
C
So
you
have
to
set
goals,
you
have
to
drive
to
those
goals
and
then
you
have
to
provide
the
support
services
to
these
businesses,
including
and
up
to
startup
funds.
Let's
attract
businesses
to
live
in
pittsburgh.
Neighborhoods.
Let's
grow
businesses
in
pittsburgh,
neighborhoods
by
giving
them
preferential
access
to
our
supply
chains.
Those
are
all
things
we
can
do.
C
We
will
be
launching
actually
a
dashboard,
probably
tomorrow,
that
puts
all
of
our
diversity
activities
in
public
hiring
student
recruitment,
faculty
staff
by
school.
You
can
drill
down
and
one
of
the
categories
is
minority
spend
and
so
we'll
be
holding
ourselves
accountable
for
that.
But
I
think
behind
the
numbers
is
this
idea
that
you
have
to
go
in
with
great
intent.
I
also
want
to
point
out
what
I
think
kind
of
going
back
to
our
very
beginning
discussion
about
pittsburgh.
C
You
know
for
a
city,
that's
in
change,
we're
gonna!
We
have
an
opportunity
to
approach
economic
development
in
a
completely
new
way,
and
what
do
I
mean
by
that?
Well,
university-based
or
technology-based
economic
development
has
generally
been
build
it
and
they
will
come
it's
about
the
tech.
It's
about
the
wizard
with
the
idea
and
the
startup
and
all
the
other
benefits
will
just
happen.
You
know
it's
kind
of
a
bill
that
they
will
come
well.
The
reality
is,
people
aren't
buying
that
anymore
and
look,
I
think,
with
good
reason.
C
I
think
it
starts
with
a
real
partnership
and
you
look
at
the
whole
economy
you're
trying
to
build,
not
just
the
tech
part.
So
if
we're
gonna
grow,
you
know
a
digital
economy
here
or
a
life
sciences
corridor.
C
C
What
is
the
vision
so
that
now,
when
we're
in
the
early
stages
of
looking
at
developers
and
spinouts
and
attracting
companies,
we
put
that
on
the
table
and
say
look
part
of
being
in
pittsburgh?
Is
you're
going
to
be
expected
to
be
part
of
this
community,
and
this
is
what
we're
looking
for.
I
will
tell
you,
developers
are
looking
for
it,
but
our
voice
is
very
muddled
on
this,
and
I
think
this
is.
This
is
a
golden
opportunity,
because
the
one
thing
pittsburgh
does
better
than
any
city
I've
ever
seen.
C
Is
it
has
this
incredibly
strong,
civic
and
neighborhood
identity?
I
know
I
can
reach
out
to
you
and
talk
about
the
hill
district
or
reverend
burgess
reach
out
to
you
and
talk
about
homewood.
You
know
this
is
pittsburgh.
We
know
each
other,
we
can
roll
up
our
sleeves,
but
if
the
communities
aren't
first
at
the
table
instead
of
last
at
the
table,
then
it's
just
about
haggling
on
the
edges
and
it's
a
completely
different
experience
than
if
we
go
in
together.
C
So
I
do
think,
aside
from
just
doing
more
business
and
doing
better
and
pushing
the
university
and
holding
ourselves
accountable
on
the
broader
question
of
how
pittsburgh
reinvents
itself,
we
have
a
way
of
doing
this.
That's
not
like
silicon
valley
did
that's
kind
of
a
community-centered
sort
of
full-bore.
You
know
economic
development
model
and
I
think
we
can
be
the
ones
who
show
the
rest
of
the
country
how
to
do
this
right.
I
really
do.
B
I
can't
help,
but
to
jump
in
here
a
little
bit,
because
this
has
been
my
life's
work
that
you
know
in
the
aftermath
of
the
george
floyd
murder,
there
was
an
outcry
of
a
racial
awakening,
but
I
think
in
some
ways
it's
not
enough
to
simply
talk
about
police
violence,
because
if
we
were
to
eliminate
all
of
the
police
related
violence
in
our
country
today,
the
condition
for
the
vast
majority
of
black
people
in
our
country
would
be
unchanged.
B
B
How
do
we
certainly
we
want
to
get
some
of
those
kids
and
get
them
good,
educations,
that
there
are
some
of
those
residents
who
will
never
set
foot
in
your
iris,
our
institutions,
you
know
they're
they're
not
going
to
come
to
you,
and
so
the
real
question
is:
how
do
we
as
a
city-
and
that's
really
probably
my
last
question:
how
do
we,
how
we
partner
as
a
city
to
because
the
real
goal
is
to
rebuild
no,
is
to
transform
the
lives
of
african
americans
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
the
bulk
of
who
of
whom
lived
in
black
communities?
B
So
how
do
we
transform
those
communities
from
communities
and
in
pittsburgh?
Most
of
those
communities
are
concentrated
poor
right.
How
do
we
transform
them
from
concentrated
poverty
into
stable
mixed
income
communities?
How
do
we
have
you
know
housing
of
choice
so
that
you
have
a
variety
of
housing?
You
have
businesses,
how
do
we
come
together
and
I-
and
this
is
open
to
all
of
you-
this
is
really
my
passion
and
I'm
sorry,
I'm
talking
too
much
about
it
because
you
got
me
excited.
B
I've
spent
the
last
12
years
of
my
life
advocating
for
this
and
building
probably
about
a
thousand
units
of
housing.
How
do
we
come
together
as
a
city
and
make
this
rebuilding
of
the
black
inner
city
neighborhood
in
pittsburgh,
which
I
think
will
be
the
the
tangible
side
of
recreational
wrestling,
so
racial
reconciliation?
C
C
Now
I
think
the
starting
point
is
the
grassroots
that
community
has
to
have
a
voice
and
they
have
to
be
at
the
table
when
this
is
still
on
the
drawing
board,
and
I
think
the
way
it
happens
naturally
is
you
know
you
always
get
this,
because
we're
so
used
to
thinking
about
just
the
high
end
of
this.
The
high-tech
part
is
well.
How
does
an
impoverished
community
start?
Looking
at,
you
know
advanced
robotics
or
you
know.
How
does
that
happen?
C
You,
the
beauty
of
place-based
economic
development?
Is
you
have
to
talk
about
everything,
because
the
place
integrates
everything,
so
it's
the
whole
economy.
People
want
to
live
there.
People
want
to
be
entertained
there.
People
are
going
to
need
child
care
there.
People
are
going
to
be
selling
to
these
companies.
C
People
are
going
to
want
to
buy
from
these
companies
and
once
you
look
at
this
holistically,
there's
lots
of
opportunity
across
the
business
spectrum
across
the
training
side,
all
the
way
from
the
the
high-end
phds
that
might
be
on
the
technology
end
all
the
way
to
daycare
service
providers
and
everything
in
between,
and
I
think
the
starting
point
for
me
is
the
community.
So
you
know
cmu
and
penn-
are
you
know
very
involved
on
the
riverfront?
I
think
you
know
kind
of
starting
from
the
hill
district
up
through
hazelwood.
C
Those
two
communities
should
absolutely
be
at
the
table
right
now,
helping
us
to
find
a
vision
for
this
sort
of
likely
innovation
quarter.
That's
going
up
that
riverside
the
communities
of
east
liberty,
and
then
you
know
and
and
the
hill
and
bloomfield
and
others
should
be
at
the
table
right
now,
as
we're
talking
about
what
these
potentials
are.
So
I
think
it's
an
urgency
about
investing
in
the
communities
that
matches
the
urgency
we've
had
about
investing
in
the
tech.
D
If
I
can
just
jump
in
I'll,
be
very
brief,
echoing
something
that
pat
said,
ultimately,
I
I
could
not
agree
with
you
more
reverend
burgess
that
we
can
talk
about
social
justice.
D
So
I
agree
with
pat
he's
absolutely
right.
Community
engagement
is
a
huge
part
of
it.
We
also
need
to
bring
to
bear
candidly
all
of
our
know-how
to
identify
through
information
and
data,
those
things
that
ours
cause
these
structural
barriers
and
dismantle
those.
If
you
don't
do
those,
we
won't
succeed
in
the
long
run.
So
I
would
not
only
echo
what
pat
said
and
pat
mentioned
this.
D
The
other
part
of
it
is
how
do
you
remove
these
structural
barriers,
such
as
community,
is
empowered
and
is
able
to
participate
in
all
of
this,
and
that
is
a
problem
that
we're
also
trying
to
tackle.
I
appreciate
and
your
share
your
passion
about
this
very
issue.
I
think
it
has
to
be
solved
for
the
country
and
certainly
for
pittsburgh.
E
E
There
that's
been
a
huge
economic
success,
but
it's
wasn't
a
success
for
the
original
residents
of
that
area.
We
came
in
early
with
the
ikea
building.
We
invested
that's
now
where
our
health
signs
are
are
situated,
but
that
wasn't
an
example
of
inclusive
community
development,
and
so
what
I
think
we
need
is
we
need.
E
We
have
a
huge
number
of
vacant
lots
in
larimer
in
homewood
in
wilkinsburg,
giving
people
the
ability
to
own
their
property
there
and
then
the
other
thing
we're
proud
to
host
at
chatham
is
the
pennsylvania
center
for
employee
ownership
and
so
giving
people
a
stake
in
the
ownership
of
their
enterprises
and
the
physical
benefits
of
owning
real
estate
and
a
home.
Those
are
the
two
key
things
so
that
when
the
community
rises,
the
people
who
are
living
their
benefit
and
aren't
displaced,
I
think
those
are
two
concrete
tactics.
E
G
Yeah
I'll
I'll
say
something
I.
I
hope
that
I'm
sure
that
ken
and
clinton
are
going
to
speak
up
because
they're
doing
some
exceptional
work.
I
know
ken
down
there
with
the
medical
services
happening
on
the
south
side.
I
mean
there's
just
so
many
good
things,
so
many
great
examples
of
what
we're
doing
as
community
again
we're
a
little
further
out
out
here
on
the
airport
corridor
and
don't
have
the
downtown
presence
we
used
to
have.
But
our
heart
is
really
very
much
downtown
and
I
part.
G
Say,
though,
these
really
thoughtful
comments
have
been
said
before
is
how
do
you
create
virtual
virtuous
rather
than
vicious
cycles?
Where,
where
can
we
disrupt?
If
it's,
if
it's
k-12,
what
can
we
do
our
college
and
high
school
program,
the
college
affordability
academy
I
just
mentioned?
We
actually,
will
we
export
that
we
actually
go
into
schools
throughout
pittsburgh
in
the
community?
G
We
we
teach
that
we
bring
in
parents
and
we
go
to
churches
and
and
we
go
and
do
that
and
one
of
the
key
things
we
do
is
in
addition
to
partnering
around
the
board
here,
but
especially
with
clinton,
especially
with
and
all
of
us
work
very
closely
because
again,
it
doesn't
speak
specifically
the
economic
development
and
community
development
that
councilman
virginia
spoke
about.
G
The
other
folks
had
very
specific
scaffolding
needs
to
be
done,
but
you
know
I
want
to
do
what
I
can
do
as
president
robert
morris
university,
and
I
know
that
our
two
and
through
partnership
programs,
in
fact,
when
I
have
a
call
next
week
about
a
national
science
foundation,
grant
that
we
got
we're
going
to
try
to
get
more
ccac
students
into
our
into
our
information
systems.
Programs
through
that
grant
and
just
really
be
there
to
create
those
virtuous
pipelines
that
can
help
propel
a
community
to
the
next
level.
G
So
we
can't
do
all
of
it,
but
we
can
be
a
part
of
it
and
we're
always
happy
to,
and
we
haven't
mentioned,
we
mentioned
a
little
bit
our
foundation
partners.
We
mentioned
the
build
foundation.
I
mentioned
hillman,
they
are
so
all,
and
I
know
with
with
farnam
I
mean
the
melon
foundation
and
scott
izzo.
I
mean
he
would
never
talk
about
it
aloud,
but
wow.
That
was
huge
in
terms
of
if
we
have
an
idea.
G
Talking
about
like,
like
dave's
talking
about
like
ken's,
going
to
talk
about,
we
have
a
community
of
leaders,
for-profit
and
non-profit
that
will
lean
in
and
take
a
chance
to
create
virtuous
rather
than
vicious
cycles.
D
Chris
you're
so
right
about
this
and
and
I
neglected
to
mention
the
foundation
communities
other
places
in
the
country
that
I
lived.
I
think
we
take
for
granted
how
blessed
this
community
is.
Having
heinz
having
hillman
having
rkm
build
foundation,
it's
just
quite
remarkable
to
see
such
an
amazing
alignment
of
public
and
private
interest
coming
together
and
catalyzed
by
our
great
foundation,
community,
we're
truly
blessed
for
that.
I
This
is
bill.
You
know
one
thing
that
that
I
would
say
you
know-
and
I
was
born
and
raised
here.
That
really
disturbs
me
is
that
kovit
has
probably
said
our
communities
back
10
15
20
years
right
and
you
know
I
want
to
give
kudos
to
the
university
of
pittsburgh.
They
have
the
number
one
sbdc
in
the
state.
I
We
have
an
sbdc
at
duquesne
and
we've
really
ramped
that
up-
and
you
know
it's
really
important-
that
we
provide
support
for
these
businesses,
but
we
also
are
going
to
have
to
provide
all
different
types
of
supports
for
for
our
people,
whether
that's
mental
health,
whether
that
that
that's
health
care
right,
because
you
know
being
you
know
in
the
poorest
city
for
african-americans-
I
mean
we're
just
seeing
you
know
we're
being
hit
in
all
directions.
You
know.
One
thing
I'm
proud
of
is
that
you
know
through
rk
melon.
I
You
know
we
became
one
of
the
main
partners
with
the
federally
qualified
health
centers
to
do
covet
testing
you
know
in
in
in
black
communities
throughout
the
region,
but
we're
also
you
know
parlaying
that
into
you
know:
asthma,
care,
diabetes
and
other
things.
But
you
know
when
you
look
at
the
disease
that
we
face
right.
You
know
we're
just
not
doing
well,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
fire
on
all
cylinders
and
we're
going
to
have
to
just
realize
that
you
know
you
know
when
covet
is
over.
I
I
I
think
we've
done
some
good
things,
but
we
know
that
we
have
to
you
know
just
do
significantly
better
and
so
we're
going
to
embark
on
what
will
be
a
very
ambitious
plan
that
ken
has
you
know
made
every
single
vp
at
the
university
make
a
commitment
toward
doing
and,
and
so
we're
excited
to
do
that.
But
we're
also
daunted
because
you
know
it's
a
lot
of
work
and
we're
all
going
to
just
have
to
do
a
lot
better
and
learn
from
each
other.
H
One
of
the
things
that
I
have
recognized
during
my
tenure
at
in
pittsburgh
is
that
individuals
that
I
should
say,
pittsburghers
who
live
in
specific
communities,
are
very
passionate
about
their
communities,
regardless
of
the
economic
status,
and
they
are
constantly
advocating
one
of
the
best
models
that
I
have
seen
where
it
has
really
ignited.
H
Community
engagement
and
contribution
to
the
redevelopment,
growth
and
future
growth
and
development
is
the
work
that
has
been
done
over
the
last
five
to
ten
years
through
the
buell
foundation,
where
the
view
foundation
has
in
embrace
the
north
side
and
has
strategically
engaged
all
of
the
residents
in
each
one
of
the
zip
codes
in
the
planning
and
discussion
of
areas
that
they
want
to
see,
change
which
has
included
several
areas:
education,
workforce
development,
employment
and
housing,
and
collectively
they
are
checking
off
each
one
of
those
marks
to
further
advance
that
work.
H
A
Thank
you.
We
could
go
on,
as
mr
gallagher
said
for
another
hour
or
so,
but
the
hour
has
been
long
already.
I
do
want
to
bring
in
micah
campbell
smith,
who
is
the
intern,
who
helps
us
put
this
together.
Every
single
week
she's
been
monitoring
the
online
questions
that
people
are
watching
live,
so
I
will
ask,
although
we're
short
on
time,
if
you
could
take,
maybe
the
top
questions
combine
them
a
little
and
then
ask
our
our
guest
what
those
questions
may
be.
J
Yes,
we
have
a
few
questions
this
evening,
I'll
try
and
combine
them
a
bit.
So
do
you
have
agendas
to
uplift
and
center
the
total
well-being
of
african-american
students,
while
under
your
watch
made
available
to
the
public?
And
how
are
you
also
working
to
diversify
faculty
and
staff
in
your
universities?.
C
Well,
I
can
jump
in
quickly.
The
answer
is
yes,
and,
of
course
it's
we're
always
trying
to
improve
it,
so
our
dean
of
students
has
just
released
a
full
program
for
our
undergraduate
students
full
of
how
do
we
uplift
support
each
other,
promote
inclusivity
and
and
equity
in
our
in
our
university
community.
So
all
students
are
supported
for
success.
As
you
know,
this
isn't
about
emissions.
This
is
about,
you
know,
staying
there
and
graduating
and
completing
and
moving
on.
C
So
that's
a
big
part
and
those
can
be
found
actually
quite
openly
in
our
websites.
As
I
said,
the
faculty
recruiting
is
a
new
point
of
focus.
This
is
something
where
I
think
you
know
pit
at
one
time
was
way
above
in
terms
of
number
of
african-american
faculty
it
had,
and
then
it
kind
of,
I
think,
got
complacent
and
those
folks
retired
and
we've
seen
the
numbers
go
down.
So
this
is
a
big
point
of
focus
for
us.
C
The
provost
is
working
on
several
initiatives:
cluster
hires
that
would
really
promote
and
incentivize
and
provide
those
additional
resources.
So
we
can
go
out
and
recruit
and
bring
in
outstanding
faculty
of
color
and
we're
doing
similar
things
on
the
staff
side,
making
sure
that
all
of
our
hiring
processes
are
really
competitive
and
you
don't
get
into
kind
of
the
cronyism
hiring
that
can
really
foster
and
promote
inequities
in
staff
hiring.
So
all
of
the
above.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right
here
we
go
I'll,
be
very
brief.
We
talked
quite
a
bit
about
student,
recruiting
or
admission
policies,
scholarship
for
students,
successive
students
and
so
on,
and
we're
committed
to
that
continuing
on
the
faculty
recruiting
side.
Candidly
speaking,
our
students
are
asking
us.
They
want
us
to
have
a
representation
of
faculty
that
that
reflects
our
society.
Our
students
want
us
to
have
faculty
members
who
look
like
them,
so
this
is
something
that
we've
embraced
over
the
last
few
years.
D
A
few
successes,
our
engineering
college,
in
particular
under
our
former
dean
of
engineering,
and
now
our
provost
made
remarkable
progress
in
terms
of
recruiting
black
and
african
american
faculty
or
engineering
college.
It's
just
has
been
enormously
successful.
Just
over
the
past
couple
of
years
we
recruited
five
more
and
the
previous
10
years.
We
had
only
two,
so
it
the
success
is
building,
I
hope,
but
we
also
launched
something
called
a
faculty
opportunity
fund
to
support,
recruiting,
retaining
and
developing
of
outstanding
and
diverse
faculty.
D
We
also
recognize,
as
part
of
our
responsibility,
to
build
greater
scholarly
capacity
and
expertise
in
areas
such
as
african-american
and
black
history
and
culture,
critical,
racial
studies,
social
justice.
These
are
areas
remember
we're
university,
we're
in
a
business
of
creating
knowledge
to
benefit
society,
so
building
expertise
in
those
is
important
so
with
the
leadership
of
several
of
our
colleagues,
especially
especially
our
social
science
and
humanities
college,
and
in
our
public
policy
school
heinz
school
we're
actually
building
those
core
competencies.
D
F
F
F
We
have
to
go
to
the
source
and
look
at
those
individuals
who
actually
are
chairing
searches
within
each
piece
of
the
university
within
each
department
or
within
each
school
and
to
have
literally
training
for
those
individuals
to
make
sure
and
then
kind
of
monitoring
as
they're,
going
along
doing
hiring
to
make
sure
that
these
unconscious
biases
and
others,
things
aren't
slipping
into
the
equation,
and
so
we
are
actively
embarked
on
that
and
with
respect
to
the
students.
F
I
would
just
like
to
add
one
of
the
things
that
we're
seeing
so
much
of,
and
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with
this
micah-
is
that
the
students
today,
because
of
covid
or
under
enormous
stresses,
you
know,
mental
health.
Psychological
stresses
this
is
not
an
easy
time
to
be
a
student,
and
I
think
students
of
color
in
particular
have
a
special
set
of
you,
know
extra
burdens
that
they
have
to
deal
with
as
they're
navigating
all
of
this.
F
So
we
have
set
up
through
our
counseling
center
and
through
other
centers,
really
tried
to
beef
up
the
opportunity
for
our
black
students
and
students
of
color
to
be
able
to
have
say
space
where
they
can
talk
to
counselors
talk
to
each
other,
and
the
other
thing
I'm
really
looking
at
right
now.
After
talking
with
our
leaders
of
the
black
student
union,
is
I
I
realized.
F
H
H
Many
times
it's
financial
and
we
have
put
in
place
emergency
funds
to
support
unexpected
expenses.
That's
a
one-time
award
that
each
student
could
get
a
year
we
partner
with
community-based
organizations
so
that
we
can
assist
the
student
in
getting
access
to
housing,
assistance,
child
care
assistance.
We
put
in
place
food
pantries
on
each
one
of
our
campuses
that
students
can
go
and
get
food
as
needed
throughout
the
week,
and
we've
also
looked
for
various
ways
of
distributing
supportive
services
by
way
of
technology
and
in
hours
that
students
can
access
those
services
collectively.
H
A
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
that
you
all
have
now
given
us
90
minutes
of
your
time.
We
told
you
we
would
only
ask
you
to
be
on
with
us
for
an
hour.
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
maybe,
in
a
few
months
invite
you
all
back
well,
we
could
do
another
show
to
even
dig
deeper
into
some
of
these
issues
that
we
brought
up,
but
I
do
want
to
be
respectful
of
your
time
as
well.
A
We
can
also
take
some
of
the
additional
live
questions
that
we
received
and
post
them
get
answers
and
then
disseminate
those
out
to
the
public
so
that
they
can
get
as
many
much
questions
as
they
have
answered
as
possible.
But
with
that
I
do
want
to
thank
you
all.
This
was
been
tremendous
for
me
very
helpful,
very
informative,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all

spending
your
time
with
us
this
evening.
Specifically,
I
want
to
thank
dr
christopher
howard,
the
president
of
robert
morris
university.
A
I
want
to

dr
patrick
david
gallagher,
chancellor,
at
the
university
of
pittsburgh
and
paul
suppose,

of
pittsburgh.
I
want
to

mellon
university.
Thank
you
all.
This
was
very
tremendous.
Although
I
sit
on
this
side
of
government
with
two
young
children,
I
can
tell
you.
A
Our
city
is
only
strong
as
our
our
educational
system
and
our
universities
play
a
tremendous
role
in
that,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
partnering
with
all
of
you
to
ensure
that
our
black
communities
specifically
are
growing
and
becoming
stronger
and

truly
liveable
city

all.
So
thank
