EricHOST
And I've talked about this a good amount, but even when I was in school, I was like, just looking on Instagram and I was like, man, and it looks like a lot of fun.
EricHOST
And I went to UT Dallas and UT Dallas did have really good guidance.
EricHOST
They had D shell, which was, was great.
EricHOST
But UTD was not a school filled with athletes where they only had like three people a year qualifying for CNAT qualifying.
Ralph BondCORRESPONDENT
And we're not gonna be talking about a specific research project or a specific prototype or that sort of thing.
Ralph BondCORRESPONDENT
What we're gonna be talking about is uh an author's an expert's predictions for future hearing aid technology and the author in this case is i'm going to butcher this woman's name sharitha ragavendra well maybe not too bad i think maybe i got it a neuroscientist an engineer specializing in auditory neuroscience speech processing and brain computer interfaces she got her phd from the university of texas at dallas And what I loved about this is it's her vision, her speculation about where we're going with hearing aids.
Ralph BondCORRESPONDENT
So again, not a specific research project in that we're going to be covering here.
Ralph BondCORRESPONDENT
So let's set the stage as she does in her commentary.
Margot WallHOST
So here's what Tor said.
Margot WallHOST
"Back in the late '70s, I left a molecular biology lab at the University of Texas Dallas to run a quail farm-
Sam JonesHOST
Cool
Margot WallHOST
... and we grew thousands of quail, but then they began getting sick.
Cole SullivanCORRESPONDENT
This summer, Dallas cut ties with UT San Antonio, which had success managing the city's crime plan.
Cole SullivanCORRESPONDENT
The department is set to partner with UT Dallas and UNT Dallas on a new plan, though the chief told me he thinks a lot that's working right now is gonna stick around.
Mark DavisHOST
All right, in- including the flock technology.
Mark DavisHOST
So all right, there, there you are.
Preston ScottHOST
And it's gone up on all of the UT state campuses.
Preston ScottHOST
while the decline of the white population has gone from 43 to 19 at UT Dallas, UT Austin, 49 to 29, UT Arlington, 40 to 19%, UT San Antonio, 30% to 17%.
Preston ScottHOST
So there has been a significant shift in the population.
Preston ScottHOST
And if the trend continues at the rates that it is, the UT system will be less than 9% white by 2035.
Mark DavisHOST
So, um, uh, interestingly- Other UT system campuses look different.
Mark DavisHOST
UT Dallas, UT Arlington have way higher shares of international students, especially Indian grad students in computer science, engineering-related fields.
Mark DavisHOST
At UT Dallas, in a recent year, Indian students alone were about 12% of the entire student body and a majority of the international population.
Mark DavisHOST
So all right, and again, let's stip- let, let's stipulate these are hardworking kids, are looking for the American dream, and that's great.
Mark DavisHOST
One of the questions before us is, uh, does it make us good people or bad people to say, "You know what? God bless everybody who wants to do this, do this, but we're gonna set some limits on the spaces we're gonna have for, for, for foreign students in order to create more space for, for American kids"? What do we think about that? It is 8:31, and what do we think about a bunch of other things in the news as well? 866-660-5759, a multi-topic day has busted out.
Richard RatboyHOST
Um, and so basically white down, Asian up.
Richard RatboyHOST
And UT Dallas went from 25% Asian to 42% Asian- That's plus 6,600 students.
Richard RatboyHOST
UT Austin went from Asian 19 to 26, plus 4,000 students.
Richard RatboyHOST
UT Arlington, 12 to 14%.

Beto O'RourkeGUEST
And then last thing, I spend almost all my time on college campuses getting people registered to vote.
Beto O'RourkeGUEST
Yesterday we were at UNT, the day before at UT Arlington, the day before that UT Dallas.
Beto O'RourkeGUEST
And, and these young people wonder whether voting works because they've seen their parents vote or their older brothers and sisters vote, and things don't change.
